Ray Quote #1028

Quote from Ray in The Author

Debra: You want me to go camping without you with all the kids?! Are you insane?
Ray: All right, it's a little extra slack, I know.
Debra: Yeah, listen! You waste time for over a year, and then you expect me to suffer so you can finally start getting serious.
Ray: Well, hey, you don't think I'm going to suffer? I'm sacrificing the most precious thing of all time with my children, huh? You don't think I've got "Cat's in the Cradle" playing up here?
Debra: I think you got two monkeys and a yo-yo playing up there.

Quote from Robert

Ray: You've been rubbing it in my face this whole time!
Robert: Yeah, like you haven't been doing that to me for the past 40 years.
Ray: Oh, how long are you going to sing that song, huh?! You've been acting like a jerk! Why don't you just admit it?!
Robert: Oh, yeah? I'm a jerk? Who was the one who instead of saying, "Hey, I'm happy for you, brother," threw a hissy fit and stormed out of the room?
Ray: Hey, for your information, if you remember, I said, "Great!" Okay? All right? And if I was upset, I had a reason to, okay? 'Cause you waited until my lifetime dream got crushed before you made your big announcement!
Robert: Oh yeah? How'd it feel? 'Cause you know what? I hope it felt really bad.
Ray: Oh, you do, huh? You do?
Robert: Yeah, I do! I hope it felt the same way you make me feel every time you prance over to Mom and Dad's to tell them about one of your great accomplishments!
Ray: Hey, if I do that, it's because up until now, nobody else had accomplishments!
Robert: Well, now someone does! And that's got to be killing you, huh, Ray?
Ray: Shut up!
Robert: You know, 'cause I was thinking, Ray, that a lot of books get published that suck. So for your book not to get published... Woo, that's got to be off-the-charts suck.

Quote from Debra

Ray: Where have you been for the last hour?
Debra: I told you I was going to the store.
Ray: What, they make you lock up?
Debra: Excuse me?
Ray: How can I write when this whole place is crawling with doodie-heads?
Debra: Oh, were they noisy? Gosh, when I'm alone with them, they just sit in the corner and read the Bible.
Ray: Listen, come here. Sit down for one second, please. Just sit down. I want to tell you something. I need help, okay? I'm under the gun here to finish a chapter, so I was wondering if you could kind of pick up the slack here till I'm done.
Debra: My whole life is picking up the slack.
