Quotes

add »

Frank: (To Ray) When your mother is upset she doesn't cook. When she doesn't cook I don't eat. You do the math. (edit)
Marie: (To Ray) Did your father sent you? He hates it when I cry. It reminds him of our wedding day. (edit)
Alda: What's your problem Marie? I can't even say a word without you topping me.
Marie: I can't help it, you're easily topped! (edit)
Marie: You know what Alda would do? She'd read my diary. She put my dolls in odd positions. She'd wear my clothes, steal my boyfriends.
Ray: Really? What kind of positions? (edit)
Ray: Some funeral, huh?
Debra: Yeah.
Ray: Wanna do it? (edit)
Alda: What's your problem Marie? I can't even say a word without you topping me.
Marie: I can't help it, you're easily topped! (edit)
Marie: You never even sent a gift
Alda: My gift was that I came at all
Marie: What kind of a horse's ass gift is that?
Alda: You'd be lucky to have a horse's ass! (edit)
(Ally drew a moustache on Geoffrey)
Frank: Can Hitler have a juice-box? (edit)
Debra: Hey, do you know what I think is really sexy?

Ray: No, does nothing for me... Do you know what does it for me? A woman who does the dishes... with another woman! (edit)
Frank: He wants you to deliver his eulogy
Ray: Why? I hardly knew the guy.
Frank: It was his dying wish.

Frank: Ray, I've got some news. I don't know the best way to break this... Your great-uncle Gus, dead!
Ray: Oh, no I liked him
Robert: Yeah me too... Hey nuts! (edit)

Trivia

add »
Marie's kitchen is different in this episode than it was in the pilot episode. (edit)
They said that Aunt Alda didn't give Ray a wedding gift because Marie put her at a bad table at Ray's wedding. Why would that be the reason for not giving a gift? People usually bring gifts to the wedding and they don't know where they are going to sit until they are already at the wedding. (edit)
This episode's dinner dish is ravioli with tomato sauce. (edit)
