Quote from Debra in Pilot
Debra: I'll tell you one thing, your folks are not coming over on Sunday. That is my birthday, and I should be allowed one day of peace without them. You know what? I want you to call and tell them that that's what we want. They need to get the message that we have our own lives and we're entitled to a little privacy! Ray: You're right. You're absolutely right. Debra: So you'll tell them? Ray: I can't do that. Debra: What is this hold they have on you? I'm just asking you for me. Please, can we celebrate my birthday alone? Ray: I can't uninvite them. Debra: You can't? Then maybe I won't be there. Ray: No, stop it. Don't. Don't sleep on the couch! I just cleaned down there.
