Ray Quote #1730
Quote from Ray in The Surprise Party
Lois: Watercress sandwich? They're yummy.
Ray: [eats] Mmm. Yes, yummy. You can really taste the water.
Lois: I am doing these exact sandwiches for the party and the same tea service. Ooh, Debra's going to be thrilled. [giggles]
Ray: Yes, it's nice, but you know, I'm thinking you might wanna- Might wanna change things up a tiny bit.
Lois: Change what?
Ray: Well, nothing. Nothing. But I'm thinking you probably could take the party in a little different direction.
Lois: I don't understand.
Ray: You know, just tweak it a little, you know? Like- Like, okay, instead of an English tea party, you do a Chinese-ish tea party.
Lois: But we decided on an English tea party.
Ray: I know. I know you did. But think how awesome Chinese could be, huh? For Debra, it would- Like, uh Amy brings Debra into the house, right? And we're all there, and- and- and there's- there's- there's- I'm just spitballin' here. There's, uh, Chinese lanterns and-and paper dragons. And I hear Wo-Hop caters.
Lois: Huh? But why do we have to change it?
Debra: I- Because I- I think I know Debra very well.
Lois: Well, of course you do, but I do too.
Ray: Yes, I understand you have a connection to her, but but you knew the girl. I know the lady. And I think the lady would prefer Chinese.

Quote from Frank
Frank: I can't believe you're having a Chinese party after what those people did to me in Korea.
Ray: I think everybody's over that, Dad.
Frank: Not me. I spent a week in a foxhole in the pouring rain.
Ray: All right, Dad.
Frank: I still have toenail fungus.
Marie: Frank, that's not party talk.
Marie: Though I have to say, Raymond, this theme is so unusual. I hope people could still eat with all these dragons around.
Frank: I do it every day.
Quote from Lois
Lois: Why don't you like me, Raymond?
Ray: What? What are you talking about? I like you.
Lois: Let's be honest. You are so uncomfortable around me. You never say more than two words. And it seems whenever we are together, you'll do just about anything to get away from me. I mean, what am I supposed to think? You- You don't like me, you don't like my ideas. I just wish it were different between us.
