When Robert returns to the dating world after meeting Debra's friend Amy (Monica Horan), Debra tries to build his confidence by telling him how attractive he is. Hearing everyone praise his brother as the handsome one, Ray starts to question his looks.

Quote from Robert

Robert: Okay, I appreciate all the advice. It still won't help me with my problem.
Debra: What is it, Robert?
Robert: Well, Amy's a lovely girl, you know, she's feminine delicate, attractive. And look at me.
Ray: Well, you really can't change that, Robert.
Debra: Ray. What are you talking about, Robert? You're a very good-looking guy.
Robert: Nah, I'm the Hulk.
Ray: Oh, come on. Come on, Robert, you're not green.
Robert: I'm just not comfortable with my appearance. Never have been.

Quote from Ray

Debra: Ray, is this because of what I said downstairs about Robert?
Ray: Downstairs, about Robert? Something about how handsome he is? How if you could do it all over again, you'd marry him?
Debra: Now, come on, I never said anything like that.
Ray: Well, you were about to, but you stopped when you saw the wart hog you're stuck with for life sitting next to you.
Debra: You don't think I think you're attractive?R
Ray: [gargles mouthwash] I do. I just never knew that you thought Robert was more attractive. Let me tell you something, I grew up with Robert. I've seen parts of him that aren't so pretty. I've been in a tub with this guy.

Quote from Ray

Debra: Honey, listen, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were so sensitive about your looks.
Ray: Well, who said that? I never said that. It's the teeth, right?
Debra: What?
Ray: Yeah. Not all the teeth. The top teeth are okay. [pulls lower lip] But the bottom teeth, look. Ugly, right?
Debra: Well, that. There, see? I knew it.
Ray: You know, I'm a lot better-looking with a suntan.
Debra: I don't believe this.
Ray: You shouldn't look at my face when it's relaxed. 'Cause I'm a lot better-looking when it's flexed. You know, it's hard to talk like this.
Debra: Please keep it flexed then.

Quote from Robert

Robert: Any one of you happen to catch the sunrise this morning? Beautiful. You had a date.
Frank: I didn't know. Good for you. It's about time. It's like riding a bike, huh?
Robert: No, there was no cycling. Amy is 100% lady. We spent the evening enjoying fine food, conversation and we split a clip at the shooting range.

Quote from Debra

Debra: I'm glad you're here. Look at this. Chocolate pudding, spaghetti sauce, and grape juice. It's like a prison riot here. Thank God they're all asleep.

Quote from Ray

Debra: Honey, what did you do?
Ray: Nothing. Nothing.
Debra: Well, I mean, what did you do to your-
Ray: It's my normal hair. Don't touch it.
Debra: And you have a tan, don't you?
Ray: No, no.
Debra: You do.
Ray: No.
Debra: [giggles] You went to one of those places.
Ray: For... For health reasons.

Quote from Ray

Ray: Okay, but I look better now, right? Still not as good as Robert, right? As good as Robert? You said that he was the handsome one.
Debra: Yes, Robert's handsome, but he's not who I'm attracted to.
Ray: Then, who is it?
Debra: It used to be you, Ray. Come on, what do you think? All this stuff makes you sexy? This stuff is not you, Ray. And that's not what I want. I want my regular Ray. That's the Ray I've always wanted.
Ray: Are you saying, then, that I'm sexy? [Debra kisses Ray] I think I might need a little more convincing.
Debra: God, who did your hair, Jiffy Lube?
Ray: It's the Deluxe Finisher model.

Quote from Ray

Robert: So you put this on your face?
Ray: Yeah. You just dab it under your eyes, that's all.
Robert: Let me ask you. I like that.
Ray: [sniffs cologne] Oh, wow, that's got a little giddyup to it.
Robert: Yeah.
Ray: You know, don't spray it on your wrist.
Robert: Right.
Ray: What you do is, you spray it in the air, and then you just kind of walk through it.
[As Ray walks through the mist of cologne, he notices Frank has walked into the room. Ray sheepishly sits back down and waits for Frank to pass judgment.]
Frank: You know, I've got this dry patch here. You got anything that could help me with that? You know, like a little flakiness?
Robert: Exfoliant, yeah.
Ray: Exfoliant.
