Debra Quote #108
Quote from Debra in Marie's Meatballs
Debra: Maybe I sauteed the garlic too long. Was that the weird taste?
Ray: Come on, look, we went over this 10 times, and remember what we decided? I don't care.
Debra: Come on, how bad were they?
Ray: They're not bad. They're different from my mother's. That's all. You know what? They might even be better.
Debra: Oh, better? You spit them out!
Ray: All right. Okay. Look, maybe you got the recipe wrong, okay? That's all.
Debra: How could I get the recipe wrong? She was right there with me.

Quote from Debra
Debra: Do you still think she's trying to help me, hmm?
Ray: Listen, why would she go to all that trouble? Isn't it easier to leave out an ingredient?
Debra: For an amateur! My God! This even looks like basil! Look at the label. It fits perfectly on here. My God! You know, this is the work of an evil genius!
Ray: I don't get it.
Debra: You know what I don't get? I don't get that you couldn't see my side in this! You're so busy defending your saint of a mother that you make me out to be some kind of ungrateful nutcase! Well, who's the nutcase now, Ray? Who's the nutcase now?
Quote from Marie
Ray: You know, Debra's right. She's right. I don't stick up for her enough. I always give you the benefit of the doubt 'cause I don't wanna upset you and you pull something like this. Do you know what you did? Do you know how crazy you drove Debra?
Marie: I didn't mean to make her crazy. I just wanted her to try to make the meatballs, fail, and give up. That way, everything would stay right.
Ray: Right? What makes that right? You have a problem, Ma!
Marie: Okay, I have a problem, but let me ask you something, Raymond. Would you come over here so much if I didn't make food for you?
Ray: Yeah! I'd come over for other things.
Marie: What other things?
Ray: These special moments.
Marie: Raymond, I'm your mother. I used to do everything for you. And then, like, I blinked, and you grew up. What do I do for you anymore? I mean, what's left? My food!
Quote from Ray
Debra: Oh, you don't think it's possible that she deliberately sabotaged my meatballs, huh?
Ray: Do you hear yourself? Are you listening to yourself?
Debra: Ray, this is the same woman who walked into my Thanksgiving dinner with her own turkey.
Ray: That's 'cause you made fish.
Debra: You told me you liked the fish!
Ray: All right, look, okay, listen to me. I know, I know cooking is the one thing that you're sensitive about, okay?
Debra: Yeah.
Ray: Yeah. But this is crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy stuff here, okay? There's no conspiracy. No, no, no, listen. The meatballs are not exactly like my mother's. And I'm saying to you: We have a house. We have a car. Our student loans are paid off. You should be able to sleep! Good night!
