Quotes
ADD QUOTES- (Joanne insults Ray) Robert: I want you to apologize. Joanne: Apologize for what? Robert: For what you just said to him and for all the other mean things you've said about him. Ray: She says mean things about me? Robert: Oh yeah. She's nice to your face, but as soon as you leave she says that when you talk, you sound like a wounded cow. Or when you run, it looks like you're trying to hold a pencil between your cheeks. Edit
- Marie: (in flashback, to Robert about his ex-wife) You knew she was a showgirl? Raymond, I hope you're not keeping a secret like this about Debra. Ray: You mean Peppermint? Edit
