Ray Quote #1540
Quote from Ray in The Thought That Counts
Debra: You know, Ray, I don't want you to ever get me another gift again, because every time you do, it just makes me realize how little you care. Merry Christmas, Ray.
Ray: Okay, now you're becoming my mother.
Debra: What?!
Ray: Let me finish! Look, the only reason I ever put any thought into my mother's gift is because she's, uh...
Robert: Materialistic.
Ray: No.
Robert: Yes.
Ray: Yes! Kitchen stuff, that's all she cares about. I don't think of you that way. You always used to say, "I don't care about anything as long as we're all happy and healthy." And look at us we're all happy and healthy. [Debra glares at Ray] We're all healthy. For now. Isn't that the only thing that matters? I mean, come on, it's Christmas. What about Jesus? Huh? You think he cared about gettin' a bunch of gifts on his birthday? Rum-pum-pum-pum. That's all he wanted.
Robert: That's true. Rum-pum-pum-pum.
Ray: Look, I'm sorry I lied. I- I lied that night about having a great gift for you, and I lied about coming up with the "Cuckoo-bird" book. And I know... I know I took all the credit for it, but at least you're not going to the Ice Capades! I'm sorry. I stink at this. But it doesn't mean I don't care about you. In fact, I wouldn't lie half as much if I didn't.

Quote from Frank
Marie: Frank, why can't you put a little more thought into what you got me?
Frank: Slippers are very thoughtful. Every day, I see your feet when you get out of bed. So I thought and I thought and I thought... "What can I get to cover up those things?"
Quote from Ray
Debra: You know, Ray what was it that we were doing in the city that reminded you of "To Kill a Mockingbird"?
Ray: What?
Debra: Remember? Remember, you said, "We were in the city," and I said, "Oh my God!" What was that?
Ray: Right. Right. Well we were in the city, and you said, "Oh my God," because of all the pigeons that there were that day in the city. And I thought, "Pigeons... Birds... Of a feather flock together... Flock, mock-ing bird" Merry Christmas!
Debra: Oh, wow!
Robert: Wow!
Ray: I know, right? It's funny how the mind works, isn't it?
