Frank: Fight? I thought those two guys were gonna skip out of the ring and go antiquing! (edit) Frank: (reading the letter) You probably don't even realize when you're being overbearing, critical, and intrusive. Is this a petition? Where do I sign? (edit) Gianni: Hey, Mrs. Barone, I don't know what you put in this dip, but I'll tell ya, if you weren't married...
Frank: Take her. I'll throw in the dip!
(edit) Debra: But see, when you say that, I take it as you thinking you're better than me.
Marie: Oh, Debra dear, but you don't have to be better than me! (edit) Debra: Listen, Marie, I just want to apologize if that letter upset you. When I wrote it, I was very angry.
Ray: And drunk! (edit)
