Quotes

Debra: You know, we've got three children to put to college.
Ray: Maybe we are lucky and they're not college material. (edit)
Ray: What are you doing dad?!
Frank: I'm arranging your stockings!
Ray: Arrange your own chips! All three of them! (edit)
Frank: I'm not going to give his money back! I want to teach him a lesson. Play with fire you get burned. Enough it's enough. You have to know when to stop. Thank you and come again! (edit)
Ray: I don't wanna go! Your guys were always making fun of me.
Frank: They won't do that this time. Your head is at normal size now! (edit)
Frank: You're saying no to your father?!
Ray: I'm not saying no. I just don't want to go. (edit)

Trivia

add »
The "teaser" (opening scene) of this episode shows Debra in the kitchen with the kids as Ray walks in with fast food. If you recall the teaser from an earlier episode "I Wish I Were Gus," it was the exact same setup. You can tell because everyone's wearing the exact same clothes, positioned in the same places, and Ray walks in with fast food in both teasers. The only difference is that one of the babies fell asleep in his booster seat in the first teaser, and in this episode the teaser goes on a bit longer. (edit)
