Robert: There you go, Raymond. You were conceived legitimately. You win again.
Ray: Come on, Robert. There's no winning.
( Ray turns to Debra and grins) (edit) Debra: (in response to Amy's disgusted look) Oh, my god! I keep forgetting what a freak show this family is until somebody new comes in and looks at us like that! That used to be me! Now I'm one of them! (edit) Ray: What if I told you we had you saying you liked Amy better on tape?
Marie: Give me that tape.
Ray: There is no tape, Ma!
Marie: Then you have no proof! (edit) Marie: We got married right after we found out I was pregnant.
Frank: Yeah, our goal was to tell everyone Robert was two months premature...but try passing off a 12-pound baby as premature!
Marie: Try passing him PERIOD! (edit) Debra: So it was just the once and then you got married?
Frank: It was just the once and then we HAD to get married...
Marie: FRANK!!!! (edit)

How is Robert's birthday, which is April 6th, the same day as Amy and Robert's one year anniversary, when Amy and Robert started dating "a couple weeks before Valentine's Day?" (edit) This episode's lunch special is chinese food: chicken on rice with broccoli, egg roll with sweet n sour sauce, lo mein and a fortune cookie. (edit) Marie and Frank got married in the month of September, seven months before Robert was born, because Marie was two months pregnant. Because Robert was an illegitimate child, Marie and Frank passed him off as two months premature to cover up their secret. (edit) It seems highly unlikely that Frank and Marie could have gotten away with keeping Robby's true birthday a secret that long. This would have meant that he could have never gotten a driver's license or become a police officer, because a birth certificate would be needed, and it would have Robert's actual date of birth on it.
