Ray: Look, Ally's still gonna look nice. We'll buy her a nice, normal-priced dress. I don't know what the big deal is.
Debra: Because you have never been a 13-year-old girl!
Ray: I think you're really running out of stuff to criticize me for.
Marie: You know, Debra, I know that you were raised in a house where money was no object. But do you really want to pass on these values to your children?
Ray: She's right. Look, I feel sorry for Ally too, but isn't it more important that we don't raise spoiled kids?
Debra: You're just saying that to impress your mother.
Marie: And he has.
