Marie Quote #502
Quote from Marie in Call Me Mom
Marie: Are you telling me that Debra really wants to call me "Mom"?
Ray: Yes. Yes, she does.
Marie: I think she's just doing that because she wants you to call Lois "Mom."
Ray: No! No, no, no! I said four "no's." It deserves even more.
Marie: Well, then, why, all of a sudden, after 12 years, am I suddenly "Mom"?
Ray: You know, maybe Debra's the kind of person that takes a while to warm up. That's all. Huh? You know, she just started calling me "honey" like two weeks ago. Come on. Look, just let her call you "Mom." What's the big deal?
Marie: Because it wasn't a real request. It wasn't genuine. And you know me, Raymond. I'm nothing if I'm not genuine.
Ray: Yeah, I know. We all know what a genuine... person you are.

Quote from Lois
Marie: Well, pardon me for saying it, but isn't that a little hypocritical? I mean, here I am, ready to embrace this.
Lois: I know, and pardon me for saying this, but maybe in this case it really isn't up to you. I mean, well, heaven forbid you don't get your way for once. [laughs]
Marie: [faint chuckle] May I just ask, what the hell is that supposed to mean?
Lois: I'm just going by what I see around here.
Marie: At least I'm always here, not like some mothers.
Lois: Well, some mothers might say that you're here a little too much.
Quote from Debra
Ray: What's going on? What happened?
Debra: She rejected me.
Ray: What are you talking about?
Debra: Your mother. I went over there and I called her "Mom," and she turned me down.
Ray: Really?
Debra: I told her that I wanted to call her "Mom," and she just went, "That's all right."
Ray: Huh.
Debra: [hitting Ray with a pillow] Why did you make me do that?!
Ray: I didn't- I didn't make you do it! I was just trying to win an argument. I didn't think you would actually try it.
Debra: [resumes hitting Ray] I cannot believe her! She's unbelievable! Your mother is unbelievable!
Quote from Robert
Debra: Oh, good. You guys were there. Was that the most humiliating thing you have ever seen?
Robert: Brutal, Raymond.
Frank: I felt bad for you, sweetheart. Had trouble finishing my lunch.
Ray: What happened? After she said no, what did you do?
Debra: Just sat there like an idiot.
Robert: Us, too.
Debra: Marie just went about her business as if nothing had happened.
Robert: I know how you feel, Deb. That's just how she is. Only certain people are allowed in the pantheon of affection: the Pope, Frank Sinatra, Placido Domingo, and Raymond. You just gotta let it go. That's all. You gotta let it go!
Ray: Yeah. Like he did.
Robert: I know what. Maybe I'll start calling her "Marie." Bet she wouldn't even notice. "Hello, Marie." "Hello, Robbie. Have you seen Placido Domingo? Or Raymond?"
