Marie Quote #193

Quote from Marie in The Toaster

Woman: [to the clerk] I got this toaster for my son for Christmas yesterday, but it has some writing on it.
Marie: Oh, are you exchanging that?
Woman: No, I wouldn't dream of exchanging it. I got it for my son. What sort of mother would I be?
Marie: Well, I would exchange it because look at that stupid writing on it.
Woman: Oh, but I love it. The store just got the names wrong. Could you change the names to June, Harvey Bobby...
Marie: You see, this toaster's from my Raymond. Look here. Look, I'll show you. Here he is. Look, see. And there's Michael and Geoffrey and Ally and... I don't have a picture of Debra. Just give me that toaster, please.
Woman: No, it's my son's.
Marie: But it's my son. He needs me to have a toaster.
Clerk: Security! [crashing sounds]
Frank: [o.s.] Stupid stinking hump!
Woman: Hey!
Marie: Try a coffee machine.

Quote from Robert

Robert: How could they not like the toaster?
Ray: They didn't even open it. They traded it in. Ungrateful mental cases.
Debra: You know, maybe the question here isn't, "Why don't they ever like my presents?" but rather, "Why do I so desperately need their approval?"
Robert: Ah!
Ray: Oh, shut up! Shut up! How would you feel?
Robert: How would I feel? Maybe you'd like to read my book: "You're in the Way: The Robert Barone Story." He doesn't need their approval, sis. He's got it to a fault. He's the beloved one.

Quote from Frank

Marie: We're just checking these.
Sales Clerk: I can assure you they're all exactly like the display model.
Marie: See, here's one where the pamphlet's a little folded.
Frank: What are you doing? That's not a believable complaint.
Marie: It's perfectly valid.
Frank: Can't you ever just be quiet?
Marie: Don't you tell me to be quiet! I have a mind of my own, you know? I can contribute. I'm not just some trophy wife!
Frank: You're a trophy wife? What contest in hell did I win?

Quote from Marie

Ray: What about the Fruit-of-the-Month club?
Marie: Oh, well, that was insane! A year of fruit? You know they still send me flyers wanting me to rejoin? And pictures of apricots! How is that supposed to make me feel?
Ray: How you feel? How about how I feel? You ever think of that?
Marie: Well, honey, we are the ones who have to get these presents.
