Episode Information[]

Synopsis[]

Debra and the children bet against Raymond all the time. He is upset when he finds out because they make fun of him. Then he remembers that Marie used to do things like that with him and Robert about their father when they were young.

Running Gags[]

Ray repeatedly talks about how Debra is not a good cook and how his mother's cooking is far better.

When Robert says that he'll supervise the cutting of the cake, this is a reference to how Raymond is always favored over Robert and how Robert gets treated as less important, which is a main theme of the series.

Quotes[]

  • Ray: Ha! I bet that you would say to turn the TV off and you did!
  • Debra: I don't get it, you thought I'd be a responsible parent?
  • Marie: What's so funny?
  • Debra: Not daddy!
  • Marie (surprised): what? No, I've always thought that Raymond had a wonderful sense of humor.
  • Marie: I've got cake!
  • Robert: Half is for me and Amy.
  • Marie: I said I'd bring you some.
  • Robert: I'll supervise the cutting, thank you.
  • Ray: Hey, this is great. I'll bet that a half of Grandma's cake is still better than a whole one of Mommy's.
  • Marie: That's not very nice to say out loud.
  • Ray: So, who wants to bet that Mommy's cake isn't nearly as delightful as it should be?
  • Debra: Kids, why don't you go on up to bed.
  • Ray: You won't want a bedtime snack, because all we've got is Mommy food!
  • Debra: I try to talk to Raymond all the time, but sometimes you don't know how bad it can get.
  • Marie: There is a chocolate covered man on my sofa, and I don't know how bad it can get?
  • RAY: Listen, Dad. Uh in the past, I may have been under the impression that you were maybe not such a good guy. But I'm starting to think that I may have been led to believe that you were worse than you are.
  • FRANK: Okay?
  • RAY: So I'm thinking that maybe you're not so bad. I... I guess I just wanted you to know that.
  • FRANK: Am I dying?
  • RAY: No, Dad, you're not dying.
  • FRANK: Then turn the TV back on.


  • RAY: Dad, Mom's the reason that I think you're cheap and bald!
  • FRANK: You didn't get that on your own?
