Marie: Frank, get in here. Your eggs are getting cold. If he thinks I'm gonna warm them up for him, he's got another thing coming.
Robert: You tell him, Ma. You're not his slave girl.
Marie: Ah, you're damn right.
Robert: I'm here for you, Ma.

Marie: Now you come down. Are you happy? Those eggs have been sitting there for half an hour and I am not warming them up. [Frank eats] How can you eat them? They're stone-cold!
Frank: They're fine.
Marie: Give me them. I'm warming them up.

Ray: Well, I see you're still clipping your toenails at the table, Dad.

Ray: Ma, Ally eats fine, okay? It's just we have to get her back in her own bed, that's all. We got all the books.
Frank: Books? Ha!
Marie: I needed no books when I was raising you kids. No. And my parents didn't use them, either.
Ray: Ah, good, I come from a long line of illiterates.
Marie: Raymond, dear, to raise children, all you need is love and common sense.

Marie: Are you sure this is going to be all right with Debra?
Ray: Listen, she's going to thank me for a good night's sleep and it'll prove to her that it doesn't have to be one of us in here and we have other options, and... You got to be out of here by 5 a.m.
Marie: I'm happy to help.
Ray: Yeah, okay. What are you doing? Where are you going?
Marie: I have to use the bathroom.
Ray: Now? I told you to go before you came over.
Marie: I didn't have to go then.
Ray: Oh, great. So now the whole plan just blows up because you couldn't go when you were supposed to?
Marie: I'm sorry. Can I go now, Raymond?
Ray: All right.
Marie: Thanks, Raymond.
Ray: And no humming.

Debra: You sure that wasn't Ally?
Ray: No. She's asleep. I read to her, and I tucked her in you know, with the blanket with the ruffly ruffles. And then I sang to her. You know, I sang really soft. [sings] Frère Jacques. [talks] You know, as I'm singing to her you could see her little eyes were just. And then she said, "Daddy, I love you." And then just... Off to sleepyland.

Debra: Ray, I think that's for you. [knocking on door] Ray, Ally's at the door.
Ray: Well, of course it's Ally. [loudly] Go to sleep, Ally. Huh, remember what we talked about. I'll see you in the morning.
Frank: [enters] Where's Marie?
Debra: Frank!
Frank: I just got back from the lodge. I can't find Marie anywhere.
Debra: Well, she's not here.
Ray: That's right, Debra. You're right.
Ally: [o.s.] Mommy.
Debra: Ally, are you okay?
Ally: Mommy, Grandma turned into a monster!
Debra: Grandma?
Marie: Oh, Ally, honey. Come here, baby. It's just me with some cold cream.

Debra: Marie, what are you doing here?
Frank: Yeah, I looked all over for you.
Marie: I left a note on my pillow saying I was sleeping over here tonight.
Frank: Why are you sleeping over here tonight?
Ray: We're waiting, Ma.
Debra: You snuck your mother in to sleep with Ally?
Ray: No, no, no. ... Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Debra: Ray, come on.
Ray: What? What are you waking me up for?
Ally: [o.s.] Daddy!
Debra: She's calling you. This is your plan. You have this big tough-love idea. You deal with her.
Ray: You're not supposed to deal with her, okay? That's the "tough" part.

Ray: You can't go. You're going to turn her into a sissy, okay? You have to have self-discipline, like me. Just lay down.
Debra: No. Let go!
Ray: Don't bring her in here. You're going to undo all my work.
Debra: Okay, fine, Ray. I won't bring her in here. God forbid we should disturb you. I'm going to sleep in her room.
Ray: Come on, Deb. What are you- I can't sleep by myself. I'm hungry!
