Synopsis

Ray is getting tired of Debra making him wait for her. They're late for everything. So he decides to set a time, and if Debra isn't ready by that time, he's leaving without her. Which may be the last thing he'll ever do.

Quotes

• RAY: Let me tell you. My father had a system: A.I.S. Like whenever we'd go somewhere, he'd set a time and he'd be like: "We're leaving. 9:00, AIS!"
• DEBRA: A.I.S.?
• RAY: Ass In Seat. Whoever's ass was not in their seat at the designated time, that ass was left behind.
• DEBRA: So during the fall did you have to set your ass back an hour?

* DEBRA: Don't worry, Robert. He... will pay.

• DEBRA: You used to think I was worth waiting for.
• RAY: You were worth waiting for, but after 15 years you should BE here by now!
