Ray Quote #339

Quote from Ray in The Children's Book

Debra: I don't know how you do it. Every day, writing? It's hell. Hell.
Ray: Well... Yeah. I try not to bring it home. Guess you've gotten a little peek there. I mean, it's not all hanging out at the games with the guys and the hot dogs and the make-your-own sundaes.
Debra: Well, I suck. Good night.
Ray: You know, it's not easy for anybody. Come on, in the beginning I remember when I was just a beat writer covering the local high-school games. I was obviously pretty talented, but I was just a diamond in the rough, really. [notices Debra's gone] We'll pick up on this tomorrow, all right? Remind me where I was.

Quote from Frank

Frank: I tell you what. Whatever you do, I'll do the pictures for it.
Debra: Pictures?

Marie: You painted naked ladies off a deck of dirty cards.
Frank: I had to. After Robert was born, you stopped posing for me.
Marie: Frank!
Robert: What?
Ray: Oh. Okay, I have to gouge out my eyes.
Robert: You can't gouge out your mind's eye.

Quote from Marie

Frank: Your mother was just telling the story of how you wet your pants at home plate.
Robert: Ma.

Robert: It's gonna be in a book?
Debra: No, Marie. Marie, please, I don't think I'm gonna use the story.
Robert: That's my story. You can't use it. I have the rights to that story.
Debra: Robert, I'm not using the story.
Marie: Why not? It's an important story. It has a moral about how kids shouldn't tease other kids and how you should listen to your mother and not hold it.
