After Debra accidentally throws away something important to Ray, Marie steps in and takes the blame.

Quote from Frank

Frank: What were you thinking?
Debra: I don't know. I'm an idiot. I'm sorry, Frank.
Frank: Sorry's not gonna keep the snow off my ass.
Marie: All right, don't worry, Frank. I'll help you get new clothes. In fact, I have an outfit that I was gonna give you to wear for Easter. I'll let you wear it today.
Frank: Well, bring it over here. I don't want to go back out there like this. The mailman already made a crack about my legs. [Marie exits] Look what you did. I hate the clothes she buys me. I always end up looking like a dandy or a Frenchman.
Debra: I'm so sorry, Frank. But it could be fun to buy new clothes. Sometimes it's kind of cool to change your look.
Frank: You hate me, don't you?

Debra: Frank, what are you-
Frank: Put these on.
Marie: Frank. [Debra & Frank gasp] Where have you been? Your dinner's ready. What's all that?

Quote from Marie

Frank: I don't need your mother.
Marie: Who are you kidding? Anytime you want to get out of going anywhere, who tells people that you have phlebitis?
Robert: Wait a minute. You didn't come to our rehearsal dinner because you had phlebitis.
Frank: Marie?
Marie: No, no. You dug up my rosebush, that's the last phlebitis you get from me.

Yeah. All right. The name of the place is "Put on a Happy Face." Now- Now- Yeah. These people are so great. You're just gonna love them. And you know what? While you're there, why don't you get a pedicure? Absolutely. Yes yes yes yes. You just like make it a spa day, yeah. Can you hang on one second? I hear the garbage truck. I just want to catch it. Yeah. [runs out] Hold on. Wait. Excuse me. Wait. Okay, thank you. Whoo. [back on the phone] Oh, sorry. Yeah, I just barely caught him. The trashman let me throw it on the garbage truck myself. No, he does not have a crush on me. He only loves me for my garbage.

Gianni: There is no letter, is there, Ray?
Ray: Yes. There is. I put it right here.
Andy: You know what might have happened to your Muhammad Ali letter? Mickey Mantle came and took it and got away on Secretariat.

Ray: Did you see it?
Debra: Me? I have not been in that drawer all week.
Ray: Are you sure?
Debra: Yes, I'm sure. What do you think, I threw your letter out?
Ray: No.
Debra: Go ahead. Just say it. You think I threw your letter out. 'Cause that's the kind of thing I do, 'cause I'm such a terrible person. I'm just always throwing all your stuff out. That's what you think of me.
