Debra: That is weird.
Ray: It was. It was like he was trying to be a father or something. The last couple of days he's been all pleasant.
Debra: Pleasant? Was he feverish?
Ray: Remember that construction worker in "Ripley's Believe It or Not," the guy who got the metal rod stuck in his brain? You know, he lived but his personality changed?
Debra: I guess he was suddenly more irritable.
Ray: Yes. Yes, but with my father, it's the exact opposite. All of a sudden he's nice. It's weird. At first it seemed fake, but then I don't know. We were talking and he was listening. Yeah. It was nice. I don't know. I liked it.
Debra: You know what I think it might be? Your father's getting older, and this is how he's trying to connect. I mean, Frank's not the kind of guy that would change if you told him to, but maybe he's come around to it by himself.
Ray: Or there's a rod in there somewhere.

Ray: He tells me he just found out that his favorite receiver, Ricky Friedman, who also happens to be his best friend, has been with his wife.
Debra: No!
Frank: Women.
Debra: Oh, right, so you automatically blame the woman?
Frank: She's cheating on her husband!
Debra: Well, what about the friend? He has no responsibility?
Frank: Let me tell you something: God programmed man to sow his seed where he may. He programmed women to limit the crop to one farmer. His broad didn't get with the program.

Marie: Oh, Robert. I'm glad you're here. I think I figured out why your father's been acting so differently. It all adds up I mean, the pleasantness, the spending and the haircut. He's fooling around.
Robert: Fooling around? Come on.
Marie: I'll tell you something, if that weasel thinks he can stay with me and keep some chippy on the side...
Frank: [enters] Where's Ray?
Marie: Who is it, Frank? Lichtman?!
Frank: Ray!
Marie: Oh, sure sure. You're just a-
Frank: Ray Barone!
Marie: You know, that's a wig she wears!
