Marie Quote #279
Quote from Marie in The Christmas Picture
Debra: You know, Marie, while we're talking about Christmas, I had this idea. Now I know this year is your turn, but I was thinking of starting a new tradition. What if we spend Christmas Eve at my parents, and Christmas Day at your house? That way nobody misses Christmas together.
Marie: [faint chuckle] That's lovely, but you'd have to leave Connecticut in the middle of the night to get back for Christmas morning.
Debra: Oh no, we would just stay overnight there and get to your house about 10:00.
Marie: [gasps] But- But- But the children coming downstairs in the morning and opening their presents and their little faces? How could you take that away from me?
Debra: Well, they'll still have faces at 10:00.
Robert: [chuckles] "Still have faces at 10:00." [Marie stares at Robbie]
Frank: Come on, 10:00's fine, Marie. Who needs that crack-of-dawn crap? Grandpa will give a better show at 10:00.
Marie: I have to say, Debra, you're killing Christmas.
Debra: Marie, it's really not that big of a deal. Right, Ray? [Ray is silent] Don't you think it's a good idea, Ray? Just like I thought the family photo was a good idea. I loved that idea, didn't I, Ray?
Ray: It just sounds like a lot of driving. [Marie hugs Ray] Dad, could I borrow $20?

Quote from Frank in The Christmas Picture
Ray: Hey, Mom and Dad, I think I know what I'm gonna get you for Christmas.
Frank: Better not be a pet. I hate people who give pets.
Ray: Yeah, yeah, we know, Dad.
Frank: Giving a pet means "You're old, I find you boring. Talk to a bird."
Quote from Frank in Christmas Present
Frank: What did you do? Try to soften her up with a big present so you could go play golf?
Ray: For your information, Dad, it's a little more complicated than that.
Frank: You're an idiot. Give me that chocolate. Sit down. Let me tell you something about women. You think you've got to butter them up to get what you want. That is a poor man's game. "Oh, sweetums, here's some flowers. Can I go to the lodge?" Not for me. Not for me! I don't do that nice crap.
Robert: So how do you get what you want?
Frank: I've learned to do without.

Quote from Ray
Lois: Raymond, I just noticed that this background is blue. Do I have time to change into my gray pashmina?
Ray: [shouts] Get back in your place! We're taking this damn picture! Would you see what I'm dealing with here? Are you blind?
Warren: Uh, Raymond-
Ray: Baaah! No habla talkie talkie, okay? I've had it with trying to make everybody happy! I was trying to do something nice! I'm sick of everybody coming up to me, "Oh, talk to Debra." "Talk to your mother." "Why can't my girlfriend be in the picture?" "Oh, I don't want to spend Christmas with them." "Fix it, Raymond, talk." I'm done talking! Don't talk to me anymore, you hear me? If you wanna talk, talk to yourselves 'cause I'm out!
Lois: Maybe I'll just wear the blue.
Quote from Robert
Robert: What are you and Ray gonna get Mom and Dad for Christmas?
Debra: I don't know. Every year it's so horrible. Poor Ray, always wrong. He's over there right now fishing for hints.
Robert: [chuckles] Yeah, hints! Heh, he'll never learn. Mom doesn't give it up so easy. She always gives the same prepared statement every year: "Oh, I don't need anything, dears. I just want two nice boys."
Debra: You two ever try that?
Robert: Nice? It's too much trouble. We used to just go in on some Jean Nate After Bath Splash.
