Debra: All right, okay. If we have to leave the kids with somebody, then you know, maybe it should be your mom. Because after all, she is family. Think of how your mom must feel with this. She comes over here and she sees Geoffrey and Michael and Ally playing with some stranger and they're having so much more fun with her than they ever had with her.
Ray: Okay, okay, we'll get my mom then. Look, the bottom line is quality time, that's all. And by quality time, of course, I mean [sings] Loving you Is easy 'cause you're beautiful And every day that we-- Ooh I'm more in love with you.
Debra: Okay, thank you.
Ray: La-la-la-la-la & & La-la-la-la-la.

Debra: No, Ray, it's my fault.
Ray: No, no, it isn't.
Debra: Yes it is, 'cause I set her up. I just couldn't stand how much the kids wanted to be with Lisa. So I got your mom to babysit, so it... wouldn't go as well.
Ray: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You told a perfectly nice girl not to come because you thought the kids liked her too much?
Debra: Mm-hmm.
Ray: And then you brought in Old Yeller to make yourself feel better?
Debra: Yes. I'm terrible. I'm this evil person.
Ray: I love this. And then the toys, the booby-trap with the toys-
Debra: I didn't do that!
Ray: Yet you know what the beautiful thing is here? Whenever I do something connivy like this, you always look at me like, "How could you do that?" When what you're really thinking is, "How do you do that?" Oh! I'm proud of you.

Ray: Would you stop that! Will you come on? You don't have to compete with some babysitter. You're Mommy, huh? The kids love Mommy. Every time I want to do something with them, they always yell, "We'd rather have Mommy!"
Debra: Oh, yeah right, they yell that.
Ray: Yes! Yes! "We prefer Mommy!" "All things being equal, where's Mommy?"
Debra: [chuckles] Shut up.
Ray: Come on, you're- You're number one. You're better than any babysitter, and you, you deserve some free time. Quality time. [sings] La-la-la-la-la.
