Ray Quote #122
Ray: How could my father do this? He knew what that ball meant to me.
Debra: Ray, I'm sure it wasn't intentional. He probably didn't even think about it.
Ray: That's right. He just thought it was okay to lie to his kid.
Debra: Look, everybody does that sometimes.
Ray: No, I don't.
Debra: No? What about, "No, kids, that's not a store. That's a toy museum." And my favorite one is, "Uh, Daddy's just teaching Mommy how to wrestle."
Ray: That's my favorite one too.

‘The Ball’ Quotes
Quote from Ray
Ray: But no more. I'm not gonna lie to my kids anymore.
Debra: Yes, you will, Ray.
Ray: No, I will not. I'm not gonna do to them what my father did to me. From now on, only the truth. When my kids look back at me I want them to be able to say, "Okay, I'm all screwed up from that guy, but he didn't lie."
Debra: What a lovely thought for our children, Ray.
Quote from Marie
Marie: Ally is 5 years old, you Scrooge. Of course we lie. We all lie. That's what holds us all together. So you go in and lie to your daughter and I'll go home and feed the man I love.
Quote from Ray

Ray: Okay. Bye-bye. [trips] Oh, f-- Fa la la la la. [crawls out]
