The GiftEpisode Number: 31 Season Num: 2 First Aired: Monday November 17, 1997 Prod Code: 9709 |
Ray, feeling guilty about only getting his dad a card for his 65th birthday, makes up for it by buying him a fancy and expensive aquarium just like the one he always admired in the Chinese restaurant. At first Frank adores the gift, but after one of the fish dies, he starts to hate it. Ray thinks it must be because the fish's demise reminded his dad of his own mortality--until he finds out the real reason and learns an important lesson about father-son relationships.

Ray: So you weren't upset about death at all?
Frank: Not until you mentioned it! Thanks! (edit) Frank: How would you feel if little Geoffrey went out and got you some big expensive thing?
Ray: (Stammers) I'd wonder why Micheal didn't get me anything! (edit) Ray: Maybe he had a special bond with that fish, like flipper! (edit) Ray: No, you know nothing about worry. It's not that I don't have to worry for a year, it's that I have a year to worry! (edit) Debra: Your Dad just sits there and stares at [the fish tank], he never comes over here any more. It's a miracle! (edit)
