Debra Quote #522

Quote from Debra in Thank You Notes

Debra: No more crap. We stand up, we confront.
Amy: I'm not afraid to confront.
Robert: My life was supposed to get better.
Debra: That's good. Now with these thank-you notes, here's what we do. You wait a month, two months.
Amy: Really? You think?
Debra: Oh, any sooner, and Marie wins. You set the timetable. That is key. And another thing, if she comes over to your house and starts snooping around your refrigerator, you pull her the hell out of there.
Amy: Right, because it's my refrigerator.
Debra: Yes! You see, this is so great because you can nip this in the bud, and I am going to be right behind you.
Amy: We can help each other.
Robert: I'm having chest pains.

Quote from Debra

Amy: I didn't mean to argue. It's thank-you notes. It's so stupid.
Debra: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Look at me. You were great. Do you hear me? You can't let her get away with anything.
Amy: But she's so upset. I don't want a bad relationship with her. I should go apologize.
Debra: No, no, no, no, no. Hey, listen, that is exactly what she is waiting for, for you to go over there and say you'll write those thank-you notes. You have got to be strong. She is testing you. Trust me, what she just pulled here, that's her big weapon: the guilt bomb. And it doesn't help that all the men in her family are scared to death of her. Whenever she comes up against somebody with a backbone who might actually confront her, she's completely threatened and she gets her claws out. And so she has been allowed to rule this way, unopposed, for decades. Listen, Amy I have been waiting for you. This is a critical time. Even though this is a tough regime to topple, with you in the family, now we have a shot... you and me together, to end all the suffering. Do you hear me? We can do it!

Quote from Frank

Frank: This is the most thoughtful gift anyone has ever given me.
Marie: What is it?
Frank: It's a piece of shrapnel.
Amy: It's from World War ll in Anzio.
Frank: It's wonderful. I'll bet it's from the ass of some Kraut.

Quote from Marie

Amy: Well, you know, we just got back from our honeymoon, and...
Marie: Oh.
Amy: What?
Marie: Nothing. I just thought you were gonna be honest with me. I mean, to tell the truth, you two have been home for a day and a half now, haven't you?
Robert: Well, we just wanted to unwind for a little bit.
Marie: But you knew I was waiting. No call or anything. I was so worried, I called the airlines. I thought, "What if there was a plane crash?" But when they said, of course, there was none, I have to tell you, I was a little upset.
