Joel: Well, what are we gonna do now? As far as I can tell, we have 3 ways to go. Divorce, separation, or you can start talking to one another. How many hands do I see for divorce? Separation? Well, then… Well, start talking.
Walter (Art LaFleur), Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow), Marilyn Whirlwind (Elaine Miles) and Edna (Lois Foraker) (Northern Exposure 1x01 Pilot, 1990)
First episode, Joel is feeling trapped, used, and still he cares. He even takes better care of his patients. Here he’s giving matrimonial counseling. And a good one: Start talking. Gotta love him! :)
