There was a great episode on last night were Ray's friend Gianni was supposed to be remodeling their kitchen and installing a new stove. And when Debra complains that she doesn't have a stove to cook on Ray says something like "Well, it's not like Van Gogh losing his paintbrush." :laugh:
And at the end, after Ray has hurt his back trying to shove the stove that's too wide into place he tells Debra he'll be "out of commission" for a while. And, of course, she tells him ......"Well, it's not like Van Gogh losing his paintbrush." :laugh: :laugh:

Hi Marie!! :D
You know, I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I know many of these ELR episodes by heart. The ones I'm quoting in this thread are among my favorites, and I have watched them so many times I pretty much know them verbatim. That's pretty bad, huh? :-\
Sometimes I will put on one of my ELR DVDs and type it out as I listen to it, but for the most part I've memorized it. I'm also a big fan of Wings, Northern Exposure and The Golden Girls, and I can often recite many episodes from those too! I have two jobs; one I must travel to the office, and the other I do mostly from the house. Quite often when I'm working, I will put on ELR and listen to it. So, I have no idea how many times I've seen these ELR episodes, but I'm sure it's astronomical. Sooner or later they're bound to "sink in"! ;) :D
Yes, I really like that Van Gogh line too! That's from "The Contractor" (Season Eight, Episode Five). I love the scene at the end when Robert chases Gianni out the front door and then looks over at Raymond and says "You're next!" :laugh:

Robert and Amy have just returned home from their European honeymoon, and Marie is upset because they haven't sent out any thank you notes for the wedding presents they've received. Amy and Debra get into a huge argument with Marie. Marie storms out of the house.....
Amy: (with a confused look on her face) What happened? I don't understand.
Debra: Oh honey. (puts her arm around Amy) You married into the Manson Family.... and Charlie goes off sometimes.
:laugh: :laugh:
Debra and Amy both begin scheming. They feel Marie has too much control and power over the family and so they try to figure out how to stand up to Marie and confront her. Ray doesn't like this at all and so he sneaks out of the house and goes across the street to talk to Frank about it. Marie overhears the conversation and confronts Ray. Ray high tails it back over to his house, hoping Amy and Debra didn't realize he was gone, and he suspects Marie is probably on her way over there...
Ray: Who wants to go get something to eat? Like RIGHT NOW?
(Marie walks into the kitchen through the back door)
Marie: (disgusted voice) Hello.
Ray: Let's go!! Whatever you want! I'm buying, I'm driving and I'm leaving right now! (swings his arms towards the front door) Vroom vroom vroom!!
Marie: Raymond, please stay. After all, you brought something very important to my attention.
(Debra turns slowly,looks at Ray, then gets up from the kitchen table)
Debra: Where did you just come from?
Ray: I went to the bathroom.
Debra: No you didn't.
Ray: I'm doing it now.
:laugh: :laugh:

Robert and Amy have now been married for three months, and to celebrate their three month "anniversary" they invite Debra, Ray, Frank and Marie over for dinner at which time they begin giving marriage advice to Ray and Debra....
(Debra and Amy are talking in Amy's kitchen)
Amy: You introduced me to Robert, Debra. You helped me to meet Robert, then get over him, then get back together with him, get over him, and then marry him! And so now I want to help you with your marriage.
(Amy hands Debra a book)
Amy: Here! I read this great book and I thought of you and Ray the whole time!
Debra: (reading the title of the book outloud) Marriage is an amusement park.
Amy: Isn't that a good analogy?
Debra: Oh, I think I get it. All the ups and downs of marriage, like a roller coaster?
Amy: Yeah, but that's only ONE chapter! There's also "The Haunted House", "The Hall of Mirrors".... "Ride Maintenance"....
Debra: How about the rides that make you throw up?
:laugh: :laugh:
Later in the episode, everyone is sitting down to dinner, and Robert and Amy continue to dish out the marriage advice. Ray and Debra are becoming very annoyed...
Debra: Don't you both think you're pouring it on a little thick here?
Amy: What do you mean?
Debra: It's been THREE MONTHS! God, I've spent longer than that just waiting for Ray to come out of the bathroom!
Amy: I don't understand.
Debra: Don't you think your being a little presumptuous, judging OUR marriage like that? And please don't give us any more books with titles like "Marriage Is A Circus. Embrace Your Clown." Listen to me Amy, there's going to be screams coming out of you in the future, and it won't be because you're on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!
:laugh: :laugh:

Debra catches Ray coming home from playing golf when he was supposed to be working...
Ray: Okay. I know what you're thinking....
Debra: Really? Then why aren't you protecting yourself?
David In Indy:
Marie: (to Debra) This whole topic is inappropriate! What Frank and I do in our bedroom is our own private business! And I prefer not to be known as the Whore of Lynbrook!
Frank: We can move from Lynbrook.
