Robert Quote #795
Quote from Robert in The Power of No
Ray: It's weird, though. It's weird. Okay, last night I got the look but I got caught up in the game so I stayed up to watch it instead of going upstairs. And now instead of being mad Debra gave me the look again. Huh. Maybe... Maybe I should turn her down again, you know?
Robert: Why would you do a silly thing like that?
Ray: I don't know. I'm always the one being shot down. It felt good, her wondering where I was last night.
Frank: You can't turn her down.
Ray: I could too turn her down!
Robert: Oh, come on, you follow her around like a dog with his tongue hanging out.
Frank: Yeah, your tongue is the leash she uses to parade you around the park.
Robert: Ladies and gentlemen, worst in show!
Ray: Yeah, well, then maybe that's why I should turn her down. So she doesn't take me for granted. You know? I mean, she's gotta appreciate what she's got here.
Robert: Yes, you're quite a catch. I can hardly keep my hands off you.

Quote from Ray
Debra: Robert told Amy why you've been turning me down.
Ray: I hate that guy!
Debra: So you were just toying with me? Getting me to beg for sex that makes you feel good?!
Ray: No! No, I don't know. I just I guess I wanted to see what it was like to be the one being pursued for once.
Debra: But you made me feel terrible about myself! You just kept rejecting me. How could you do that to somebody?
Ray: What?
Debra: You had me convinced I was a fat, ugly old lady!
Ray: Well, now you know how I feel! You feel bad because I turned you down, what, three times? Try being rejected 40 or 50 times for the last 10 years. How do you think that feels? You're looking at the president of the fat, ugly old ladies' club. Welcome! Have a donut!
Debra: There is no way I turned you down that much. And I say yes a lot!
Ray: Exactly. You say yes and you say no. You're- You're the bouncer in front of the disco who decides who gets in and who doesn't. And for once, it was you standing outside. Yeah, and you couldn't take it. Yeah, it's cold out there, isn't it, standing in the rain with your bad shirt and your acne pimples?
Quote from Debra
Debra: "The power"? I mean, why would he? Oh!
Amy: What?
Debra: Oh, my God. Oh, my God! He has been turning me down on purpose!
Amy: Oh, no. Why would he do that?
Debra: For the power! He thinks it gives him the upper hand or something.
Amy: Well, that's gross. Hey, but look on the bright side. This means you're still hot.
Debra: Of course I am! The worst part about this is that it worked. I've been trying to make myself look better for him. Do you know I did 138 sit-ups this morning? All for some guy whose stomach looks like a deflated clown balloon?
Amy: Oh, boy. You're gonna kill him, aren't you?
Debra: No. No, I want him alive.
Quote from Frank
Frank: Your mother's got a look, too. Which is why after sunset I avoid all eye contact.
