Quotes 

• Ray Barone : All those sports books I read and all the sports I watched on TV, that's how I got to be where I'm at.

  [Marie reacts] 

  Marie Barone : [long pause]  "That's how I got to be where I'm at"?

  Ray Barone : Yeah, that's right.

  Marie Barone : You're a writer, and that's how you use the English language?

  Ray Barone : What? What are you talkin' about?

  Marie Barone : You do not end a sentence with "at."

  Ray Barone : Big deal, so I ended it with a proposition.

  Marie Barone : Preposition, it's a prep- Oh my God!

  Ray Barone : What? What are you getting so upset about?

  Marie Barone : Because this is the end of civilization! People like you don't want to work or learn anything because they're too busy with their remote control television or playing with their hula-hoops! And before you know it, that's where we're at!

  Frank Barone : Where the cookies at?

• Marie Barone : [as Marie reads the following Ray chases Frank around the kitchen trying to steal from the last piece of pie]  Based on the readings of Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer", which of the following would you recommend for fifth grade homework and why? A, a book report including cover art and illustrations. B, an oral report using period music and costumes. C, a craft project based on the pre-industrial Mississippi land. D, a fictional diary on one of the characters. Raymond!

  [Frank pokes Ray in the chest] 

  Ray Barone : Ow! What's wrong with you?

  Frank Barone : I like pie.

  Marie Barone : Raymond, pay attention. I'm gonna read you this again.

  Ray Barone : No, not again. I heard it already. How about we don't make the kids read "Tom Sawyer"?

  Marie Barone : What? It's an American classic.

  Ray Barone : All right, then I say A.

  Marie Barone : Good. Why?

  Ray Barone : B.
