Ray Quote #254
Quote from Ray in Ray's on TV

James Worthy: Wow.
Roy Firestone: Really?
Kevin: That's alarming.
Roy Firestone: I really enjoyed the piece. A terrific piece. You did a great job-
Ray: Oh, thanks. Thanks, Roy. When a program succeeds like that a lot of that stuff just gets swept right under the rug.
Roy Firestone: Right.

They don't realize it at first but what happens is, [scratches microphone] you know, they're sacrificing what once, you know, was the ideal. The ideal to achieve the American dream.

Quote from Marie
Marie: Ray, we told you you were a good writer so that you would think you were a good writer, see? Then somebody gave you a job. That's what parents do. They all lie to their kids for their own good.
Ray: Other parents aren't lying, Ma. They believe in their children.
Marie: No, they don't.

Marie: No.
Frank: It seemed like he'd never been on television before.
Marie: He's never been on television, but he's had his hands his whole life.
