Although Boss frequently takes his wife for granted, Lulu has no patience for Boss's shady antics and is clearly the dominant personality in the relationship, even acting as her husband's Achilles' heel in his latest crooked scheme (and succeeding on occasion). At one point, she threatens to leave Boss and take half of his holdings; he quickly backs down. While apprehensive to trust her, and scheming behind her back at all times, Boss seems to genuinely love Lulu, frequently calling her such petnames, as "Angel Food Cake", "Marshmallow", and "Sugarplum Puddin'."
