Plot

Robert dates a 22-year-old girl named Erica. Ray and Frank are excited to meet her, but Debra and Marie are personally offended. Debra is upset, but Ray just wants to drop it. Debra pretends to be alright with it as she doesn't want to be like Marie. After a disastrous birthday party (Frank's), Ray, Debra, Robert and Erica go out for dinner. Frank won't stop flirting with Erica. Erica and Robert invite Ray and Debra on a double-date. While Ray and Robert are away, Debra discovers that the girl is just 19. Debra is horrified. And tells Debra. When Ray and Robert learns this, they are shocked. Ray and Debra then find out that Robert had told her that he is 35, not 43, and that Ray is 37. Erica breaks up with Robert. Robert angrily condemns Debra. The three remaining three finish their meals. During this, they discuss the conversational topics of the middle-aged.

Quotes

• DEBRA: Sorry, Robert.
• ROBERT: No, you're not. You enjoyed that.
• DEBRA: Enjoyed what?
• ROBERT: Destroying my relationship. I've never seen anybody add two numbers so fast.
• DEBRA: That wasn't a relationship. That was two people lying about their age.
• ROBERT: And neither one of them had a problem with it until you butted in! You know what, you're right, Ray. She *is* threatened by younger women.
• DEBRA: Ray told you that?
• RAY: [stammering] N-no way, no way!
• DEBRA: Well, I am not threatened by younger women. Why should I be? I happen to be an attractive woman.
• RAY: Amen to that.
• DEBRA: I am extremely well-read. I am a good conversationalist.
• RAY: Hallelujah!
• DEBRA: I'm proud of my age and I have never lied about it.
• RAY: No reason to.
• DEBRA: Shut up, Ray!
• RAY: All right!
• DEBRA: So what is it now? Men have to date women 20 years younger than they are? Ray dies tomorrow, I have to start dating 60-year-olds?
• RAY: I won't die tomorrow.
• DEBRA: We'll see.
