T-Rex: When people sign a prenuptial agreement, they agree, BEFORE they get married, how to divide up assets in the event of a divorce!
Narrator: PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS:
Narrator: WHAT'S THE DEAL
T-Rex: What gets me is the whole conflict in them: the position of "I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you", with the caveat of "Oh, baby, but just in case". I understand on a PRACTICAL level about how prenups are - practical, but on the level of love, I don't see how you're allowed to hedge your bets when it comes to marriage! I thought marriage was the ultimate expression of love.
Utahraptor: And you see prenups as being the ultimate expression of love*.
T-Rex: That's it exactly! Love with an asterisk.
Utahraptor: Well, honestly, T-Rex, I think that it's INCREDIBLY presumptuous of you to say that.
T-Rex: I know, I know! That's what bothers me about it! Who am I to comment on someone else's marriage? And yet, I feel compelled to comment on tons of someone else's marriages!
Narrator: LATER:
T-Rex: Hey Mom! You know about the prenup you got when you and dad got married?
Off panel: Yes, honey?
T-Rex: I, um -
T-Rex: I got opinions
