Quote from Frank in Christmas Present
Frank: What did you do? Try to soften her up with a big present so you could go play golf? Ray: For your information, Dad, it's a little more complicated than that. Frank: You're an idiot. Give me that chocolate. Sit down. Let me tell you something about women. You think you've got to butter them up to get what you want. That is a poor man's game. "Oh, sweetums, here's some flowers. Can I go to the lodge?" Not for me. Not for me! I don't do that nice crap. Robert: So how do you get what you want? Frank: I've learned to do without.
