Quote from Ray
Debra: Ray, what are you doing?
Ray: Why can't you take her to this thing?
Debra: Because it's a father-daughter dance.
Ray: Why don't they have a father-daughter poker night at the race track?
Debra: And you know what I would love? Ask one of the other fathers to film you two dancing. [Ray groans] Fast and slow. [Ray groans again] And stay the full two hours! [again] Have a good time.
Ray: There better be booze at this thing.
Quote from Ray
[flashback:]
Debra: This is all I've thought about for for a year.
Ray: Well, maybe you should develop some other interests. Look, wait, stop! All I'm saying is you shouldn't get so nutty about being pregnant.
Debra: Well, why the hell not?!
Ray: Well, first of all, the language not really for children. Just let it happen, okay? If it happens, then it happens.
Debra: No, no, you have to keep at it! There's only so many days per month!
Ray: I'm just saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, okay? In case, you know... Whatever.
Debra: Ray, you do know that three months of trying isn't that long, right?
Ray: Don't look at me, I don't even want to talk about it.
Debra: Oh, sweetie. It's normal. Really.
Quote from Ray
[flashback:]
Ray: Three months. We should have had a kid already.
Debra: No, listen. Ray, I'm telling you.
Ray: Look, my father said some stuff, okay? Us Barones, we're supposed to be really "vireal." I mean, I should have I should have been able to impregnate you by now.
Debra: Your dad said that?
Ray: He said knock you up, but yeah.
Debra: Ray, look, honey, my gynecologist said that it might take several months... to knock me up.
Debra: Oh, honey, you have nothing to worry about. We have nothing to worry about.
Ray: I guess if it's a girl, it doesn't have to be Raymona. I also like Alexandra. Ally.
Debra: Yeah, I like that. [kisses Ray]
Ray: [kisses Debra] My father's an idiot.
Debra: Yeah, yeah, I could use less of a Frank image right now.
Quote from Frank
[flashback:]
Debra: So you found a parking space, Frank?
Frank: I hate all these damn fire hydrants! I'm glad dogs pee on them!
Debra: Sorry about that, Frank. Yeah, damn fire hydrants.
Quote from Debra
[flashback:]
Debra: Ray, our first few years together have been a joy to me.
Marie: [opens door] Hey, what are you two doing out here?
Debra: [closes the door] And I think of our life together as a journey.
Marie: [tries to open door] Hey! Don't you want your appetizers?
Debra: A great journey, and along this path we would- [Marie knocks on the door]
Ray: [o.s.] No, Ma, stop!
Debra: Along this path, we would share many joyful moments together. Moments that we will remember al- Oh, okay! I'm pregnant!
Ray: What?
Marie: [opens door, hugs Ray] Pregnant! Debra's pregnant!
Quote from Robert
[flashback:]
Debra: So how you doing, Robert?
Robert: Actually, I'm doing good. I met a girl.
Marie: Oh, really?
Robert: Yeah.
Marie: What's her name?
Robert: Joanne. Oh, she's great. We've only been out one time, but I think that this-
Marie: Debra's pregnant!
Debra: It's true! It's true! I just found out!
Frank: Now I feel bad going on about not being able to park.
Robert: "Uncle Robert." No, no, no. Yeah. "Uncle Bobby," yes. "Hey, Uncle Bobby, what's up?" "Nothing much, kid."
Quote from Robert
[flashback:]
Robert: Hey, okay! I got some big news and I wanted to tell you guys first. [deep breath] All right. I've been dating Joanne for about six months now, and I think that I just might have found my Debra. So after careful deliberation, I have decided that I'm going to ask her-
Debra: My water just broke.
Ray: What?!
Frank: Holy crap!
Quote from Debra
[flashback:]
Ray: What? Are you sure?
Debra: Very, very, very much so.
Ray: No, no. The books says this stuff ain't supposed to happen for three weeks.
Debra: Oh, really? Let me see that. My water just broke, Ray! I thought the pains in my back were from your mother, but apparently they're contr- Ah!
Ray: Contrah! You're having contrah?!
Debra: Contractions! Definitely contractions!
Ray: Are you sure? [Debra groans] Yeah, okay, definitely. Yeah, definitely.
Quote from Debra
[flashback:]
Marie: Ooh, what's going on?
Ray: Nothing!
Debra: Ray and I were just thinking of taking a little walk. Right, Ray?
Ray: Mm-hmm.
Debra: Just a walk around the block. Robert, you want to come with us?
Robert: I don't know, do I?
Debra: I just thought that since you're a cop, maybe we could walk a littler faster, like, right through the red lights. Since you're a cop.
Quote from Ray
[flashback:]
Debra: Oh my God!
Ray: What, what, what? What?
Debra: Oh! The baby is coming right now!
Ray: Oh, my God! Keep your legs together!
