Quote from Marie in The Bigger Person

Robert: Ma! This was your chance! What did we just talk about in there? What about the Big Bed?
Marie: All your talk about the Big Bed, why don't you tell that to Debra?

Robert: Well, maybe it's just me, but I'm of the opinion that a man should be more concerned about his family's well-being than figuring out a way to get his wife to let him go on a week-long golf retreat to Myrtle Beach.

Robert: Okay.
Debra: Manipulative.
Robert: Okay, the "why's" are not important. But what is important is to remember that life is short. You know how they always say you should never go to bed mad? Well, I say it'd be even worse to go to the "Big Bed" mad. Hmm?
