Quote from Debra in The Ingrate
Debra: Yes, but then I encouraged you and you were able to get up in front of those people and give a great speech. Ray: You encouraged me, but first, you had to tear me down so you could build me back up again. Debra: What? Ray: That's right. That's what you do. And you are very careful that I do not come out smarter than you. Debra: I never really worry about that.
