Marie Quote #453
Quote from Marie in Older Women
Debra: Let me ask you something, Ray. Did you say what you said to my mother to be cruel, or is that just how you feel? "Men just want someone different."
Frank: She's got you in the crosshairs.
Marie: That's how you feel, isn't it, Frank?
Frank: What the hell did I do?
Marie: Oh, don't play dumb with me, mister. You'd love to have someone different, wouldn't you?
Frank: That's a secret?
Marie: I'm not kidding around, Frank. And, Raymond, how could you? Where is your compassion? The woman has tears in her eyes because she's been replaced, and not by some young hotsie-totsie girl, but by an older woman. What is happening? How can you fight that? And a husband who's just said to her, "It's not your looks, it's not your body, it's you." That's disgusting. And you're all the same.
Frank: Hey! I am nothing like this guy.
Ray: Hey, Dad!
Frank: No, sir. You're on your own. I want to eat tonight. The sins of the son shall not bother the father.

Quote from Frank
Frank: This is dumb. You still need reassurance after 45 years of bondage? All right, I'm gonna tell you something now I've never told anyone else before. I could have had my chance with Claudia.
Ray: What?
Frank: That's right. There was one day I was dropping off your old highchair, and there was no one at your apartment except her. And she let me in, and she asked me if I wanted something to drink, and I said, "Yeah." I was thirsty from luggin' the freakin' highchair up your damn steps. She poured me some iced tea, and when she stuck her hand out to give it to me, and I went for it, she pulled it back a little, you know, like playfully?
Marie: That whore.
Frank: And you know what? Even though she was not what you would call classically beautiful, I could see what Ray saw in her.
Ray: Dad!
Frank: No, no, she had something. There was always a little rumba in the horn section.
Ray: I never looked at her horn section. I swear to God.
Frank: And I said, "Just give me the tea," like that, and she gave me the tea. And I drank it, and I handed her the glass back, and she washed it, and I left. And that was it, because I have a wife named Marie.
Marie: Oh, Frank.
Frank: There you go.
Debra: Wait a minute. You watched her wash the glass?
Frank: Well, yeah. I'm not a monk.
Quote from Frank
Frank: I'm trying to picture myself with a woman who's older. She'd have to be like a mummy or something.
Marie: [enters] Frank!
Frank: I was kidding!
Quote from Lois
Debra: You know, Mom, I just don't think that you-
Ray: Deb, Deb, Deb, I think if your mom's okay with it, isn't that what's important?
Lois: Honey, you know I still care for your father very much, and if this girl is what he needs to feel better about himself, to feel younger, I say good for him. Okay?
Debra: I guess, yeah.
Lois: Okay. Good, good. And who knows? Soon I just may be out there looking for an eligible younger man myself. [laughs]
