Season 1, Episode 2 -  Aired September 20, 1996

Debra wonders why Ray never says "I love you".

Quote from Marie

Ray: Look, you don't have to say it. It's okay.
Marie: Why is it so important to you all of a sudden? My parents never said it.
Ray: When you were a kid, didn't you want your parents to say it to you?
Marie: Of course.
Frank: But they didn't.
Ray: Why?
Frank: They didn't wanna spoil us.
Ray: Okay, this is the way we wanna be? Is this the way we want the kids to be? I mean, what would be so wrong with saying, "I love you" around here once in a while?
Marie: Well, we're not living in a fairyland here, Raymond.

Quote from Ray

Debra: What the hell is going on here?
Ray: I told them what we were talking about.
Debra: What! Why?
Ray: I thought I could find out why I was the way I was. But now I know why. I'm from a mental institution!
Robert: I love you, Deb. [goes to hug Debra]
Ray: Robert. Robert.
Robert: No, no.
Ray: Remember the cat.

Quote from Marie

Debra: Ray, this is not what I wanted. Could everybody just go back to normal? I think it was much better before everybody loved each other.
Marie: Wait a minute. This is between you two. This is your problem.
Ray: Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to find out why I'm not the most... demonstrative guy, and I thought-
Frank: You thought it was our fault.
Marie: That's typical. You blame the parents. This is your problem, and the first thing kids do today is point to the mother.
Ray: Nobody's pointing, Ma.
Marie: If it's anybody's fault, it's your father.

Quote from Ray

Ray: [on the phone] I wanna thank you for your time, Mr. Lasorda. Okay, Tommy. I really appreciate this interview. This will be real quick. Okay. Now that you're retired I was just wondering... [to Aly] Where do you think you're going with that cookie! Put the cookie down! No, no, not you, Mr. Lasorda. Did- I scared you? I didn't mean to scare you. Oh, I didn't know you were eating a cookie.

Quote from Ray

Linda: Don't you love Nemo's at night? The candles.
Debra: Yes. Twinkly lights.
Linda: I know.
Debra: Such a romantic atmosphere, huh?
Ray: Yeah. That's why the Pope eats here. You think he really said: "To my buddy Nemo. Your pizza is infallible."

Quote from Ray

Bernie: You see, she's brainy and beautiful. [kisses Linda]
Ray: And loose. [to Debra] Did you order foreplay? I didn't order foreplay.

Quote from Ray

Ray: [to Linda] Hey, that's tongue. Thought you were a vegetarian.
Linda: What, you've never kissed in front of anybody?
Ray: Yeah, I'm sure we have.
Debra: There was... Uh, that one at our wedding.
[After Bernie clinks his glass, Ray gives Debra a quick peck on the cheek]
Linda: That's it?
Ray: What are- Come on, the Pope.

Quote from Ray

Debra: Ray, how come you can never just be affectionate with me?
Ray: Oh, Bernie!
Debra: Did you see how Bernie is with Linda?
Ray: I see. Everybody sees that. It's free Playboy Channel.
Debra: There's nothing wrong with it once in a while.
Ray: He was drinking.
Debra: So passionate.
Ray: They're drunks. Both of them.

Quote from Ray

Ray: Look, they've only been married for what, two years?
Debra: Yeah.
Ray: So there's no kids, no exhaustion. Just wait.
Debra: Wait for what?
Ray: For this. The noise, and the no-sleep, and the no-time. Please, know what I mean here.
Debra: You never even say, "I love you."
Ray: Oh, now I don't love you.
Debra: You don't say it.
Ray: I do.
Debra: No, you don't.
Ray: I do.
Debra: When do you say it?
Ray: With my eyes!
Debra: What are you doing?
Ray: I'm... drowning.

Quote from Ray

Ray: Here, this is for you.
Debra: What is this? A card!
Ray: Mmm-hmm. Got up early to get it for you.
Debra: Why?
Ray: You know, 'cause of what we, you know.
Debra: "To a special wife. Love like ours is real and true As a lily holds the morning dew Every day finds joy anew And in every way do I love you." Yeah. Oh, that's really sweet, Ray.
Ray: Yeah?
Debra: Yeah. I just love it. It's a really nice card.
Ray: Oh, something's wrong. What? It's not enough? Oh, I should've got the pop-up.
