Debra: (about her cooking) It's the one thing that I'm sensitive about.
Ray: The one thing? (edit)
Debra: I can't explain it, I just feel like second best.
Robert: Second best? I can explain it to you. (edit)
Ray: I don't get it, I don't get it.
Debra: You know what I don't get? Is that you couldn't see MY side of this! You're so busy defending your "saint of a mother", that you made ME out to be some kind of ungrateful nutcase! Well who's the nutcase now, Ray? WHO'S THE NUTCASE NOW?!?!?! (edit)
Debra: Why do I care so much about this?
Ray: Because, because you're a good wife.
Debra: Don't you EVER call me that again! (edit)
Ray: Okay, the MEATBALLS, are not EXACTLY like my mother's, and I am saying to YOU: We have a HOUSE! We have a CAR! Our student loans are paid off! You should be able to SLEEP! (edit)
