Ray Quote #1164

Quote from Ray in Separation

Debra: I hate my mother.
Ray: Oh, no, you don't. How do you know this is your mother's fault?
Debra: It's her fault. She's so... Why is she doing this? I mean, my parents being together. I mean, I have counted on that my whole life. Through school and college and then struggling after college. And, you know, when I didn't know what I was doing or where I was going, at least I had... Their marriage was like a rock, the one solid rock for me.
Ray: Well, maybe it was more like a stone, okay? And now it has passed.
Debra: That's enough. That's just enough.
Ray: What did I do?
Debra: You can't have a real conversation. You gotta be funny. Idiot.
Ray: It wasn't that funny! Hey, no, come on, look, I'm trying to be understanding here, okay? I'm not the one who said "idiot," all right? But I'm willing to overlook it because I understand. You're the child of a broken home.

Quote from Warren

Warren: Don't cry, honey.
Debra: I can't help it. I mean, why the hell do you take vows if they don't mean anything?
Warren: We meant it then. We meant it when you were kids. But when your sister and then you went off to college, it kept getting harder.
Debra: Well, what about all the kissing, the traveling together and the Pookums 1 and 2 license plates? What was that?
Warren: I know. I know. I guess, by the end, most of that was just a show. And we had enough. We both had enough. It's not like Ray's parents.
Debra: What?
Warren: They seem to have the secret.
Debra: What?!
Warren: They know how to do it. It's not a facade for them.
Debra: But they're maniacs.
Warren: Yes, but they're honest with each other. Everything's out in the open with them. "Eggs, Marie, and hold the chatter." I love that. I'll tell you, they're the ones who oughta be giving the seminar.

Quote from Frank

Marie: No, not those pants. They go to Goodwill.
Frank: Hey, I love these pants. Who the hell are you to give 'em to Goodwill?!
Marie: There are holes in the seat! You've worn through them!
Frank: Then you can't give 'em to Goodwill! That's bad will!
Marie: There are other pants in the dryer. Put on one of those.
Frank: No! These are the pants!
Marie: No, you are not wearing those pants, Frank! You're just like an animal!
Frank: Animals don't even like pants! [Marie and Frank have a tug of war over the pants] You did that on purpose!
Marie: I did not!
Frank: You're the animal!

Quote from Warren

Debra: I'm so sorry, Dad.
Warren: Yeah, me, too.
Debra: Sorry she's doing this to you.
Warren: What do you mean?
Debra: I know how she is.
Warren: Here, sit down. This is not your mother's fault.
Debra: Don't you defend her.
Warren: Listen to me. We have both been unhappy for some time now. Now, you know that.
Debra: All right, but you're the one who at least tries to make an effort, like wanting to go to that marriage counseling.
Warren: Can I tell you something? I never really wanted to go to New Jersey. You want to know why I picked that place? Because I was looking forward to how much your Mother would hate it. Well, she loved it, and I was the one bored out of my freakin' skull. Those workshops... "Polishing your soul mate's soul." So... You really mustn't blame your mother, honey. I'm the one who actually said it was over.
Debra: I don't believe it.
Warren: It's true.
Debra: And what did she say?
Warren: Well, she knew. We both knew.
