Robert Quote #213
Robert: Well, listen, I didn't want to get involved in your little experiment here. But actually I think Dad has a good point.
Debra: Oh, you can't possibly think that's healthy.
Robert: Wait, let me finish. There is such a thing as too nice.
Debra: Not to me.
Robert: Take it from the divorced man. You know, I was nice to Joanne every single day of our marriage. I was nice right up to the day she walked out on me. I carried her bags out to the car. I still even send her a birthday card. And do you know what I got for it? Spastic colon. Make of it what you will. Good night.

‘Be Nice’ Quotes
Quote from Marie
Robert: All right, really, what's going on here?
Debra: Nothing, we're just trying to be a little bit nicer to each other.
Frank: Nice? I tried it once. Didn't care for it.
Marie: Did the same thing happen with smart?
Quote from Debra
Debra: Oh, you know what? One more thing. I was just thinking that we could not interrupt each other when we're on the phone. Okay?
Ray: Right. Or, like if we're on the phone and I ask for something we could take the time to say, "Hold on, please." And tell me where it is in the same amount of time that it would take to say, "I'm on the phone." Just like that. Do that.
Debra: Okay. Or like when we're having a baby together and I'm in labor, you can maybe help me to the car instead of looking for magazines you want to flip through while you're at the hospital.
Quote from Frank
Frank: Aw, cut the crap! You're playing with fire here. You gotta let steam off on each other. Because if you let it off on a stranger he gets mad. He punches you. You punch him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. Guys jump in, war starts. It's a mess. The spouse is the perfect escape valve.
Marie: He read that at our wedding.
