Quote from Ray in Thank You Notes

Debra: What is so funny?
Ray: You're so nuts. You still, after 15 years, haven't figured anything out about this woman? Amy. Here's how I see all this stuff. Mom loves the family. She really does. And she thinks it's her job to hold it all together. Does she overreact occasionally? Okay. So she wants you to write a few thank-you notes. She's an old lady. What else does she have? Besides, before even giving up a drop of power, she will truly kill us all.
Amy: What do you think, Robert?
Robert: I agree with Raymond.
Debra: Oh, come on!
Robert: No no. I totally agree, and I even add that because Ma favors Raymond so much more than me, you will have to be doubly nice.
Debra: You're both idiots.
Ray: You know, it's real easy to make trouble, missy, but when Ma's upset with you, we're the ones who suffer!
Robert: Please don't make her mad.

Quote from Debra

Amy: I didn't mean to argue. It's thank-you notes. It's so stupid.
Debra: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Look at me. You were great. Do you hear me? You can't let her get away with anything.
Amy: But she's so upset. I don't want a bad relationship with her. I should go apologize.
Debra: No, no, no, no, no. Hey, listen, that is exactly what she is waiting for, for you to go over there and say you'll write those thank-you notes. You have got to be strong. She is testing you. Trust me, what she just pulled here, that's her big weapon: the guilt bomb. And it doesn't help that all the men in her family are scared to death of her. Whenever she comes up against somebody with a backbone who might actually confront her, she's completely threatened and she gets her claws out. And so she has been allowed to rule this way, unopposed, for decades. Listen, Amy I have been waiting for you. This is a critical time. Even though this is a tough regime to topple, with you in the family, now we have a shot... you and me together, to end all the suffering. Do you hear me? We can do it!

Quote from Frank

Frank: This is the most thoughtful gift anyone has ever given me.
Marie: What is it?
Frank: It's a piece of shrapnel.
Amy: It's from World War ll in Anzio.
Frank: It's wonderful. I'll bet it's from the ass of some Kraut.

Quote from Marie

Amy: Well, you know, we just got back from our honeymoon, and...
Marie: Oh.
Amy: What?
Marie: Nothing. I just thought you were gonna be honest with me. I mean, to tell the truth, you two have been home for a day and a half now, haven't you?
Robert: Well, we just wanted to unwind for a little bit.
Marie: But you knew I was waiting. No call or anything. I was so worried, I called the airlines. I thought, "What if there was a plane crash?" But when they said, of course, there was none, I have to tell you, I was a little upset.
