Debra: That is weird.
Ray: It was. It was like he was trying to be a father or something. The last couple of days he's been all pleasant.
Debra: Pleasant? Was he feverish?
Ray: Remember that construction worker in "Ripley's Believe It or Not," the guy who got the metal rod stuck in his brain? You know, he lived but his personality changed?
Debra: I guess he was suddenly more irritable.
Ray: Yes. Yes, but with my father, it's the exact opposite. All of a sudden he's nice. It's weird. At first it seemed fake, but then I don't know. We were talking and he was listening. Yeah. It was nice. I don't know. I liked it.
Debra: You know what I think it might be? Your father's getting older, and this is how he's trying to connect. I mean, Frank's not the kind of guy that would change if you told him to, but maybe he's come around to it by himself.
Ray: Or there's a rod in there somewhere.
