You call this a happy family? Why do we have to have all these kids?
— It's a Wonderful Life ‧ 1946
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
George challenges the description of the family as happy, then questions the number of children. The second question turns a general complaint into something painfully personal. The words convey exasperation by rejecting the reassuring family picture offered in the first question.
