Quote from Robert

Amy: Can I ask you something, Robert?
Robert: Oh, here we go.
Amy: Why are you always so anxious to leave wherever we go? How come you're never satisfied with where you are?
Robert: I'm very satisfied now.
Amy: I wish you would see Dr. Greenberg.
Robert: Again with Greenberg.
Amy: I just think you could be happier.
Robert: Do we have to talk about this here?
Amy: Honey, I just want you to feel better about who you are.
Robert: I am fantastic about who I am! You know what? I'm not gonna do this, okay? Just forget it, all right? Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. End of tour!
Amy: Why are you afraid to be healthy?

Debra: What can I say, Ray? I can't help it.
Ray: You can help it.You just d on't want to. It's all about control. You want the control. That's right. I listen to talk radio.
Debra: I'm controlling? What about you yelling up the stairs, "Hurry up! Let's go! Small bladder!" That doesn't make anybody go any faster.

Debra: No, I'm not doing it on purpose, but you make me anxious when you yell. And then I get all ugh too.
