Marie Quote #416
Quote from Marie in Frank Paints the House
Marie: Your father never retired from Pelk Accounting.
Ray: What are you talking about?
Robert: If he's not retired, why does he buy his pants at the pharmacy?
Marie: He told me he retired, but I found out the truth. They fired him.
Ray: What? Why?
Marie: Why? I have to tell you? Why did you fire him? Your father believes that his way of doing things is the only way. And after 25 years, it starts to get on people's nerves.
Debra: So Frank never told you he was fired?
Marie: How could he? You don't understand, Debra. In my generation, the men had their jobs and that's who they were. Oh, it must have been so humiliating for Frank to have that little Alvin Pelk fire him from his job. And now you boys just did the same thing to him!
Robert: It was Raymond.

Quote from Frank
Ray: How are you right? How are you right?! It's my house and you wanted to paint it yellow! How is that right?
Frank: Because yellow covers better! It won't fade as fast! And you got white houses on either side of you! It makes your house pop a little! And it goes with your trim and the frigging little daisies you got!
Ray: Well, why didn't you just say that?
Frank: I shouldn't have to say it!
Ray: What?
Frank: Because if I say it's yellow, that should be good enough for you! I shouldn't have to explain everything! I'm right!
Ray: Okay, you're right, but it's not always about being right.
Frank: Yes, it is! Being right is all that matters. Everything else is crap! "Oh, you have to consider people's feelings." "Oh, what if they don't like you?" They should like me because I did the job right!
Quote from Marie
Marie: Well, you two always talk about having your house painted so, I put your father on the job.
Debra: But, Marie, we were going to hire professionals.
Marie: Oh, but Frank is very good. He did a nice job on our house. And he likes the fumes.
Debra: Well, yes, he did do a nice job on your house and I would hate to kill anyone's buzz, but...
Ray: Yeah, but we were kind of thinking that we would be the ones to make that decision, 'cause it is kind of our house.
Marie: Yes, but we're the ones who have to look at it.
Ray: All right, I'm going to use this french toast to lure him off the ladder.
Marie: Okay, okay, okay. Just let your father do this. I need him out of my house. Ever since he's retired, he's around all the time.
Debra: Yeah, but that's what happens when you retire.
Marie: I know, but I never thought he'd live this long.
Quote from Ray
Debra: Something hit the wall.
Ray: [opens curtains; screams]
Frank: Jeez, you scared the crap out of me!
Ray: What the- What the hell are you doing?!
Frank: I'm painting your house. What's it look like?
Ray: Looks like we have the world's ugliest shutters.
