Archer's eyes narrowed. I can't believe you two..The whole time he was talking, I was singing Don't Cha in my head, desperately trying not to think about the marriage, but one of us must've failed, because Archer's mouth snapped shut, and he looked floored. Like someone just explained to him that you can have an endless salad bowl at Olive Garden.

In this scene, Archer is visibly frustrated with two individuals, feeling betrayed or shocked by their actions. His narrowed eyes indicate his disbelief and disappointment, suggesting that he expected better from them. As he processes the conversation, his mind drifts to the song "Don't Cha," which underscores his attempts to avoid thinking about an impending marriage. Despite his efforts, the tension persists, revealing that he is struggling to maintain focus as his emotions surface.

The moment becomes even more intense when Archer's reaction transforms from one of irritation to astonishment, akin to discovering a surprising fact, like an endless salad bowl at Olive Garden. This metaphor highlights the shock of the revelation he faced, emphasizing the unexpected nature of the discussions about marriage that had distracted him. The internal conflict and the humorous comparison help to convey the complexities of the situation Archer finds himself in.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
