Debra Quote #179
Quote from Debra in The Lone Barone
Debra: Who are you to give Robert, or anybody else for that matter, marital advice?
Ray: I'm nobody. I didn't-- what? What happened?
Debra: Amy called me up crying, all upset. She said Robert started acting all weird when she tried to talk to him about their future. And when she finally pinned him down, he started in with this prison talk. Then he said he wasn't sure that he could commit to her just now.
Ray: He broke up with her?
Debra: No, she broke up with him. What else is she supposed to do? She's been going out with him for two years, and this is the return she gets on her investment? "Oh, gee, things are moving kind of fast. Maybe we should pull back, give each other some space."
Ray: It sounds reasonable.
Debra: It's not reasonable! Do you know how hard it is for a woman to get a guy like Robert to commit? And then you, you come along, his happily married brother!
Ray: Yes, yes, very happily.
Debra: Yeah, yeah. And instead of telling him how lucky he is to have Amy at all and how wonderful marriage can be, you dig him a hole and read him his last rites.

Quote from Robert
Robert: I don't need any more advice, okay? I have my own reasons for not wanting to get married just yet.
Marie: All right, what?
Robert: You really want to know, Ma? Part of it is I've lived with you for most of my life. I've never been on my own. And I finally get my own place and Amy is already bringing me plants. I love Amy, but I'm not ready for plants.
Marie: I think you're being selfish, Robby.
Robert: Good! It's about time. 'Cause this is my life. Not yours, not yours, not yours and not even Raymond's. Raymond had nothing to do with this decision. I made it. Me! And if you think I made a mistake, I don't care. That's right, because I'm in charge of me now. And now if you'll excuse me, I'm going home. To my home. The Crown view Apartments, unit 9-F. It still says Chung on the buzzer downstairs, but that's me.
Quote from Ray
Ray: Okay, here's something. You know how when you're sleeping and you, you kind of stop breathing? When you're married, there's always someone there to nudge you alive. All right, I don't know what I'm talking about. Look, look, this is marriage. You wake up in the morning and she's there. You come home at night and she's there. You eat, she's there. You go to sleep, there. And I know that sounds like a bad thing. But it's not. It's not. Not if it's the right person. Then it's good. It's good. It's really, really good.
Frank: I would like a minute for rebuttal.
Marie: If I were you, I wouldn't stop breathing in my sleep.
Ray: Okay, bad example.
Quote from Frank
Ray: I'm kidding. I'm just kidding. I was- I'm joking, that's- You know men do that. We joke around about stuff like, like marriage. Right, Dad?
Frank: I don't know what you're talking about.
Ray: Come on! Like how about when you joke about how you wish a tidal wave would come and sweep Mom out to sea.
Frank: I have never been more serious about anything in my entire life.
