TV Quote of the Day (‘Bewitched,’ As Sam and Endora Assess a Sleeping Darrin)

Endora [played by Agnes Moorehead]: [Darrin is sleeping on the couch] “What a lovely looking couple! [referring to Darrin] Except for him. Does his mouth always gape open like that?”

Samantha Stephens [played by Elizabeth Montgomery]: “Only when he's sleeping.”

Endora: “Oh, Samantha. I don't understand you at all. I mean, if you had to marry a mortal, at least you could have chosen a better-looking specimen.”

Samantha: “I like the way he looks. Besides, I didn't marry Darrin just for his looks.”

Endora: “What else, his vivacious personality?”

Samantha: “No one sparkles when they're asleep. Anyway, I think he's quite handsome.”

Endora: “You're joking.”

Samantha: “He's got very good features.”

Endora: “Name one.”

Samantha: “Well, he has a nice firm jaw.”

Endora: “You like lantern jaws?”

Samantha: “He's got a nice mouth.”

Endora: “'Slack' is a better word.”

Samantha: “How about his eyes?”

Endora: “Beady.”— Bewitched, Season 1, Episode 33, “A Change of Face,” original air date May 13, 1965, teleplay by Bernard Slade, directed by William Asher
