Debra Quote #117

Quote from Debra in The Family Bed

Ray: All right, I'm sorry. Look, don't you see what's happening? We're hostages. She's using sleep deprivation to break us. What are we going to do?
Debra: "We"? There's been no "we" here, Ray. I've been "we." How about you be "we"? You sleep in Ally's room tonight.
Ray: No, I can't.
Debra: She needs to sleep with at least one of us. And tonight, that's you.
Ray: I'm "we" and "us" now, right? That's, like, four people.
Debra: Okay, then why don't the four of you help me get the kids ready for school?
Ray: Look, about tonight, I have a big day tomorrow.
Debra: You know what, Ray? Tough... love.
