The Ride-Along

Episode Number: 39    Season Num: 2    First Aired: Monday February 23, 1998    Prod Code: 9717
Raymond decides to spend a shift accompanying his brother Robert, a policeman. Initially, spending a shift in the back of Robert's patrol car bores Raymond and he wonders why he even bothered putting on the bullet-proof vest. But his boredom quickly turns to terror during a chance visit to Nemo's restaurant that puts them in the middle of a hold-up. When Robert saves the day by throwing a hot pizza in the burglar's face, Raymond sees for the very first time how courageous his brother really is.

Marie: Frank, what are you doing? Close the refrigerator. Put that on a plate!
Frank: I don't want a plate! I just want a couple of bites.
Marie: That's disgusting, sticking your fork in there. Now nobody else can eat it!
Frank: That's all it takes? (pause) My fork was in the ice cream, too! (edit)
Robert: (watching "Cops" with Ray) You see the way they ran that punk down?
Ray: You ever run like that?
Robert: I've been known to.
Ray: Yeah. When do you run?
Robert: When I have to.
Ray: Yeah. The only time you ever ran was when the wind took your balloon. (edit)
Debra: Maybe Robert won't read the paper.
Ray: He's Robert. He reads it everyday. He reads it, he taps his chin twelve times with it and he reads it again. (edit)
Ray: (to Robert) What are you gonna have to eat? I'm buying.
Robert: I'm not hungry.
Ray: Come on. I'll buy for Judy, too. What does she eat, little kids? (edit)
Debra: Ally, what are you doing?
Ally: Cutting Molly's hair.
Debra: Oh no, no, honey, you can't cut a doll's hair. It won't grow back--only people hair grows back.
Ally: Oh. (pauses, calls for her baby brother) Geoffrey.......
Debra: Oh, no, no, no, Ally, go ahead. Just cut the doll's hair. Hey, look, you missed a spot. (edit)

Trivia

add »
This episode's lunch special is brie with grapes and french bread. (edit)
It is strange how when Robert grabbed the pizza and threw it in the robber's face. He didn't have any pizza on him at all. The thing just kind of fell onto the floor in one piece. (edit)
Robert pushes Ray into accepting his offer to go on a citizen's ride-along. They are initially sitting on the couch at the time, and when they rise, if you look closely behind where Ray is standing, through one of the kitchen windows you can spot a production crew member. (edit)
Robert Barone is supposed to be a police officer in the New York Police Department, but cruises, with his partner, and takes a dinner break, at Nemo's, which is squarely in Long Island. (edit)
