“The Simpsons” A Fish Called Selma (TV episode 1996)

Meanwhile, Marge and Patty try to tell Selma that Troy is just using
her, but she doesn’t want to admit it. She runs away to find Troy and
find answer to her questions.

Selma: [menacing] Is this a sham marriage?
Troy: Sure baby, is that a problemo?
— Fair enough, “A Fish Called Selma”

Selma: You _married_ me just to help you carreer?
Troy: You make it sound so sordid, look: don’t we have a good time
together?
Selma: Yes, but…
Troy: Don’t you have everything you ever wanted here? Money, security,
a big hot flat rock for Jub Jub?
— Just what everyone would want, “A Fish Called Selma”

Selma: But… don’t you love me?
Troy: Sure I do! Like I love Fresca. Isn’t that enough? The only
difference between our marriage and any one else’s is: we know
ours is a sham.
— When you look at it this way…, “A Fish Called Selma”

Selma: Are you gay?
Troy: Gay? I wish! If I were gay they’d be no problem! No, what I have
is a romantic abnormality, one so unbelievable that it must be
hidden from the public at all cost. You see…
Selma: Stop!
— Aw, we were just about to hear it all, “A Fish Called Selma”
