Robert Quote #273

Quote from Robert in Prodigal Son

Robert: Dad doesn't do it.
Ray: What do you mean?
Robert: I do it. Mom, Debra, the kids do it. Dad, he's an usher.
Ray: So?
Robert: So that means he spends most of his time out here, not in there. Back here, he doesn't have to listen to all the, as he puts it, "mumbo-jumbo". That's right, Ray. Oh yeah, occasionally he'll go down the aisle with the collection basket, wink at the pretty ladies, then he hustles back to count the money and clocks out. It's a beautiful setup. Mom can't get on his case for not going to mass. He's here every Sunday serving the Lord. He's just doing it from the first-class lounge.
Ray: Oh, my God. Debra told me this was the best part of him. I knew there was no best part of him.

Quote from Marie

Frank: 12 years of catholic school down the toilet. Go to church!
Marie: Frank, you can't just scream at someone to go to church.
Frank: Well, 40 years of your guilt hasn't worked.
Marie: I need more time.

Quote from Frank

Frank: Look what you're doing to her! Go to church!
Ray: No, no! I don't feel like it.
Frank: "I don't feel like it." That's the problem with you kids today. Everything has to feel good. Do you think World War II felt good? You think Korea felt good? In my day, nothing felt good!
Ray: Why don't you go back to your day and stop ruining mine?!

Quote from Debra

Ray: Let me tell you something. I practice being a good person every day. Okay? I'm a decent fellow. I do good things. I always leave a big tip. If a squirrel runs in front of the car, do I not swerve? I'm considerate of people's feelings. Remember the plumber who came over with the big eye? I treated him like a completely normal person. Okay? So... So... So why do I have to go to church every Sunday to prove my goodness? I'm living it!
Debra: Well, you know, since you are so good during the week, maybe on Sundays we should have everybody come over here and sit around you.
