‘Good Girls’

Season 2, Episode 19 -  Aired March 9, 1998

After Marie agrees to let Amy cook a dinner for Robert in her kitchen, Ray learns the reason that his mother likes Amy more than Debra.

Quote from Ray

Ray: Wait a minute. Why is Amy's "goodness" such a big deal?
Marie: Because it tells me about her character. The kind of person she is. See, I think Robert is very lucky to find a girl like that.
Ray: How do you know that I wasn't lucky, too?
Marie: What are you saying?
Ray: I mean, how do you know that Debra wasn't. You know, when we got married?
Marie: You mean, Debra was a good girl?

Quote from Ray

Ray: You know what I did? I told my mother that you were a good girl, too. [both laugh]
Debra: What did you- Well, how does she think we got the kids?
Ray: I meant before, you know, before we got married. [Ray laughs, Debra doesn't]
Debra: You can stop laughing now, Ray.
Ray: I don't want to.

Quote from Debra

Marie: Oh, Debra. I'm so glad you're here. Come on. I need your opinion on this sauce.
Debra: Really?
Marie: Yes, of course.
Debra: Yeah, tastes good. What's your secret? Extra-virgin olive oil?

Quote from Marie

Marie: Isn't this fun? You know what, Debra? You and I should make a big meal for the family together. How long has it been?
Debra: Oh, gosh, pretty long. Let's see... Never.
Marie: No! Never? No. We just have to do it.
Debra: Oh, that's okay.
Marie: No. We'll have lots of fun.
Debra: It's okay, Marie.
Marie: You know what? You can make your lemon chicken. I love that.

Quote from Frank

Ray: And what I said about Debra, I lied, okay? I lied.
Marie: What do you mean?
Ray: Debra wasn't a good girl when we got married.
Frank: What do you mean, "a good girl"?
Debra: Go ahead, Ray. Tell them.
Frank: Oh, you weren't a good girl. [chuckles] Gotcha. So who cares about the cooking?

Quote from Robert

Amy: What are you guys talking about?
Marie: You weren't supposed to say anything.
Frank: And that's why you like Amy better? 'Cause she hasn't been around the block? Why didn't you tell me that?
Marie: It was a secret, Frank!
Amy: Yes. It was a secret.
Debra: Amy, what did you tell Marie that for?
Amy: I didn't tell Marie.
Debra: Well, I didn't tell her.
Amy: Robert?
Robert: I'm sorry. I haven't been paying attention.
Ray: All right. Let me fill you in. We just found out that you told Mom-
Robert: Okay, Raymond, I'm up to speed.
