How we cite our quotes: (Paragraph)
Quote #7
"I never said any such thing," he said. "You're crazy."
"All right, I may be crazy," she said. "Thank you very much. But that's what you said." (104-105)
The wife is still mad the husband said he didn't like her hat. He's claiming that he never said that, since he said it was "probably great." But "it's probably great" can sound pretty close to "it sucks" if you say it the right way. At any rate, it's a pretty petty point to dwell on.
Quote #8
"Not that it matters—it's just a little thing. But it makes you feel pretty funny to think you've gone and married somebody that says you have perfectly terrible taste in hats. And then goes and says you're crazy, beside."
"Now, listen here," he said. "Nobody said any such thing. Why, I love that hat. The more I look at it the better I like it. I think it's great." (105-106)
The husband's sudden change in opinion about the hat is obviously insincere and meant to get his wife to stop talking about it. But, clearly, it's a silly argument to prolong indefinitely.
Quote #9
"I love the damned hat. I mean, I love your hat. I love anything you wear. What more do you want me to say?"
"Well, I don't want you to say it like that," she said." (108-109)
The wife wants the husband to genuinely like her hat, and somehow convince her of it. But that's going to be pretty hard to prove at this point. (Of course, she probably really wants him to convince her that he loves her.)
