Quote from Marie in Marie's Meatballs
Debra: You know, Marie, you don't have to go to all this trouble.
Marie: Yes, but Ray tells me that this is something you really want to learn.
Debra: Yeah, I'm sure he told you that. I'm sure he would love for me to cook like you. I'm sure he would love for me to be you.
Marie: [chuckles] Oh, well, let's start with the meatballs and see how far we get.

Quote from Debra
Debra: Do you still think she's trying to help me, hmm?
Ray: Listen, why would she go to all that trouble? Isn't it easier to leave out an ingredient?
Debra: For an amateur! My God! This even looks like basil! Look at the label. It fits perfectly on here. My God! You know, this is the work of an evil genius!
Ray: I don't get it.
Debra: You know what I don't get? I don't get that you couldn't see my side in this! You're so busy defending your saint of a mother that you make me out to be some kind of ungrateful nutcase! Well, who's the nutcase now, Ray? Who's the nutcase now?
Quote from Marie
Ray: You know, Debra's right. She's right. I don't stick up for her enough. I always give you the benefit of the doubt 'cause I don't wanna upset you and you pull something like this. Do you know what you did? Do you know how crazy you drove Debra?
Marie: I didn't mean to make her crazy. I just wanted her to try to make the meatballs, fail, and give up. That way, everything would stay right.
Ray: Right? What makes that right? You have a problem, Ma!
Marie: Okay, I have a problem, but let me ask you something, Raymond. Would you come over here so much if I didn't make food for you?
Ray: Yeah! I'd come over for other things.
Marie: What other things?
Ray: These special moments.
Marie: Raymond, I'm your mother. I used to do everything for you. And then, like, I blinked, and you grew up. What do I do for you anymore? I mean, what's left? My food!
Quote from Ray
Debra: Oh, you don't think it's possible that she deliberately sabotaged my meatballs, huh?
Ray: Do you hear yourself? Are you listening to yourself?
Debra: Ray, this is the same woman who walked into my Thanksgiving dinner with her own turkey.
Ray: That's 'cause you made fish.
Debra: You told me you liked the fish!
Ray: All right, look, okay, listen to me. I know, I know cooking is the one thing that you're sensitive about, okay?
Debra: Yeah.
Ray: Yeah. But this is crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy stuff here, okay? There's no conspiracy. No, no, no, listen. The meatballs are not exactly like my mother's. And I'm saying to you: We have a house. We have a car. Our student loans are paid off. You should be able to sleep! Good night!
