Quote from Robert
Ray: Robert, did you find them?
Robert: Bad news, Ray. The guy's in prison.
Ray: Prison?
Marie: Who? Who's in prison?
Robert: James Lemus, the guy who videoed Ray's wedding. He went from doing wedding videos to honeymoon videos... without the consent of the honeymooners.
Quote from Frank
Marie: Well, I'll tell you what I would like if I were Debra.
Frank: I'd like it if you were Debra.
Marie: Oh, Frank.
Ray: What, what? Tell me, Ma, what?
Marie: Renew your wedding vows.
Robert: Yeah, then you could videotape that. That's a great idea, Ma.
Frank: Hey, reenactment. That's just like what my Civil War buddies do.
Marie: What your Civil War buddies do is get drunk and pee outside.
Frank: You know what the Southerners do?
Quote from Marie
Marie: Oh, stop it, Frank. We're talking about a beautiful thing, a wedding! A renewal of commitment and love, Frank. Love! You understand love?
Frank: By all means, Ray. Hurry up and renew this.
Ray: I don't know, Ma. It all seems kind of-
Marie: You have taken Debra's wedding away! And no matter what people may say about her, she's still a woman. And you don't take that away from a woman.
Quote from Robert
Robert: "The best weddings have a centralized theme." Hey, you know what would be great? Cupid.
Ray: Cupid?
Robert: Yeah yeah, it's a little naked angel. You know, he shoots you. It's cute.
Ray: That's a horrible motif.
Robert: What? It's perfect. He could be flying around the room. You know what you could do? You could dress up the twins. You put little wings on their back...
Ray: All right, stop it! No, it's not gonna be Cupid! That's lame.
Quote from Ray
Robert: All right, so what's your brilliant idea?
Ray: An English garden.
Robert: English garden?
Ray: That's right, yeah.
Robert: Woo-hoo! Party! English garden!
Ray: Hey, it's classy, you Neanderthal! "It brings sophistication and elegance to any party." Okay? What does Cupid bring? A bow and arrow and a bare ass.
Ray: It goes with my whole idea of a Sunday tea.
Robert: What do you mean tea, there's no dinner?
Ray: No, it's a tea. That's it. There's gonna be hors d'oeuvres.
Robert: Okay, so your motif really is "I'm a cheap bastard."
Quote from Marie
Marie: Frank, make way for my lasagna.
Ray: No, no! Mom, I don't need lasagna. Please, I have hors d'oeuvres.
Marie: Well then, why don't I just kill myself?
Quote from Debra
Father Hubley: I would like to welcome all of you to Raymond and Debra's beautiful home. We are gathered here today to witness a renewal of love and commitment between husband and wife. And in our presence and the sight of God, they will now share vows they each have written. Go ahead, Raymond.
Ray: Ladies first.
Father Hubley: All right. Debra?
Debra: Okay. Um... Well, when Ray first came to me with this idea, I was very touched. I am really glad to have this chance to tell people how I feel about you. [clears throat]
Ray: Oh, boy.
Debra: I don't know how well I have always lived up to my vow to love, honor and cherish you. So just in case I haven't always shown it, I want you to know that I do with all my heart. I do. And I wanna add something else to that list. And that is to thank you for the kids, for your love, for our life together. I thank you.
Quote from Ray
Debra: You said you were going to recite vows to me.
Ray: Okay, I know. But we had your vows, and, oh, they were beautiful, and-and I didn't really hear them all, because I was in my head going, "Idiot, idiot, idiot." But luckily Robert videotaped them and we can enjoy them later.
Robert: You never told me to tape it.
Ray: Okay, but-but-but honey, look at all the decorating that I did here. I- There's there's stuffed mushrooms here, and there's flowers everywhere. And there's supposed to be lilies of the valley here. But the napkins, they match the tablecloth! I did that. All right. I'm sorry.
Debra: Lilies of the valley?
Ray: Yeah, that's your favorite flower, right?
Debra: You remembered?
Ray: Yeah, I ordered them, but the damn florist, he didn't bring it!
Debra: You remembered my flower.
Father Hubley: Kiss the bride. Kiss her, kiss her now!
Quote from Debra
Debra: What, did you hit something?
Ray: I know-
Debra: Did you hit something?
Ray: No, no, it's still going.
Debra: Then why am I seeing football?
Ray: I-I don't know.
Debra: Where did our wedding go?
Quote from Ray
Ray: What about his old tapes? I gotta get my original.
Robert: All gone, Raymond. Impounded and destroyed.
Ray: Okay then. Mom, can I live here?
Marie: Of course you can, dear. What did Debra do?
Ray: She was having a bad reaction to me accidentally taping over our wedding video.
Marie: Oh my God!
Frank: Holy crap!
