The context: Alvy tells an old joke about a man who goes to see a psychiatrist. He says, “Doc, my brother’s crazy, he thinks he’s a chicken.” The doctor says, “Well, why don’t you turn him in?” and the guy says, “I would, but we need the eggs.” This, Alvy says, sums up how he feels about relationships: “they’re totally irrational and crazy and absurd… but I guess we keep going through it because most of us need the eggs.”

這句話給人的意念? 有人說... The answer to every question you ever had about stupid romantic decisions.
