Ralph and Alice go through life in that terrible apartment. Day to day he comes home from driving the bus and asks for his dinner. She provides it on his meager income. During that time Ralph continues to dream, but his failings make it hard for him to fulfill those dreams. This episode is about lost youth and lost dreams. While it preaches that we should be happy with what we have, it's also sad that he works hard and never really realizes those dreams. Alice stays with him, of course, because she is the perfect mate, but she also never gets to see a little positive. A very good episode.
