It's hurtful not to speak to someone.
Sam's wife Karen accidentally bumps into a shelf and  breaks his favorite porcelain figurine.
Sam wants to react to the accident.
Sam tells his wife that it's just a figurine which he can buy again anytime he wants and that it's OK.
Sam tells his wife that the figurine was one of his prized possessions, and he doesn't want to speak to her anymore.
Karen is relieved that Sam isn't mad and tells him that she'll replace it for him.
Karen is shocked that Sam is reacting so harshly and is sad he is going to give her the silent treatment.
