Ray Quote #219
Ray: It's not that I don't love my mother and my father. It's just that it's very hard to honor them.
Priest: Oh, you're trying to put them in a home.
Ray: No, no, no. You see, the neighbors wanted to throw them out of the neighborhood and even though I was defending them, and the neighbors are okay now, I still feel guilty.
Priest: It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong.
Ray: Then how come I feel so lousy?
Priest: Maybe your guilt's coming from a deeper place.
Ray: What do you mean?
Priest: How do you feel about your parents?
Ray: What are you saying? Are you saying that maybe I feel this way because deep down I think the neighbors are right? That part of me wants to throw them out of the neighborhood, too? That they've been just driving me crazy my whole life? That's what you are saying isn't it?

Quote from Ray
Debra: Ray, you've got nothing to feel guilty for. You didn't do anything. As a matter of fact, you were defending them.
Ray: That doesn't matter. Guilt is just a way of life for me. I was trained by masters: my mother, my father, the Pope.
Quote from Ray
Priest: We all have these kinds of feeling from time to time. You know, there was a man on our church council a few years ago. A decent enough fellow but a bit abrasive. Oblivious to anyone else's feelings. I wanted to get him out of my hair. I used to fantasize about him converting to Judaism. One day, I said, "Frank, I think..."
Ray: Wait, a minute his name was Frank?
Priest: That's unimportant. The point-
Ray: No. Frank Barone?
Priest: You know Frank Barone?
Ray: He's my father.
Priest: Your parents are Frank and Marie Barone?
Ray: Yes.
Priest: You're absolved.
Ray: What?
Priest: Our Lord forgives your thoughts.
Ray: Yeah? Really? You're sure?
Priest: Well, I could look it up but I'm almost positive.
Quote from Ray
Ray: I'm sorry, Father, I thought this was the confessional.
Priest: This is the confessional.
Ray: uh, where's the booth with the kneeler and the sliding window through which you can't see me?
Priest: You haven't been here in a while have you?
Ray: Uh, about twenty years. I've been good.
