Ray: I'm not going to make those jokes anymore.
Debra: Thank you.
Ray: Will you still cook for me?
Debra: Yes.
Ray: Will you take your clothes off? (edit) Debra: What I don't understand is that you always make fun of my cooking, but when I finally make something you like you're still making jokes about it!
Ray: Honey, don't be upset. Don't worry about what those guys think.
Debra: I don't care what those guys think of me, I care what YOU think of me! (edit) Robert: So Debra can cook now. The missing color in Raymond's rainbow! (edit) (Marie comes in to find Frank eating Debra's braciole. Frank slowly turns around, wipes off his face, and stands up to face her)
Frank: I thought you were taking a bath.
Marie: I was. I finished.
Frank: Oh. Er, how was it?
Marie: It was nice. Thanks for making it for me. You haven't made a bath for me in over 35 years.
Frank: Yeah, well, uh, you seemed to need it. (edit) Frank: (to Marie) You should ask Debra how she makes this.
Marie: I should ask Debra? I should ask Debra?... Give me that!
(Marie takes a bite of the braciole, stands there, then throws the fork down and storms out)
Frank: This food has magical powers! I'm gonna string some of this around my neck! (edit)

In “The Gift" Frank celebrated his 65th birthday, but in “Debra Makes Something Good” he says he is 64 years old. (edit) Marie says "Real cooks don't need recipes" which contradicts her having a box full of them that she heavily covets in "Marie's Meatballs" in season two. (edit) If Frank is 64 or 65 at this point he would have been born in 1935 or 1936. That means that he would have been under 18 when he took part in the Korean War. He would have been 14 or 15 in 1950 and 17 or 18 when the war ended in 1953. (edit)

Road Kill: "Road Kill" is a nickname for unfortunate animals struck dead by cars on the street or highway. (edit) Braciole: Braciole is a thin slice of meat, usually wrapped around a stuffing and then cooked with wine. (edit) Chaka Khan: When Ray is singing to Debra (Debra Made Something Good), he is doing a take off of "Tell Me Something Good" a smash by the one and only Chaka Khan (who Ray is a huge fan of by the way). (edit)
