Ray Barone: [yelling up the stairs] Okay. All right. Fine, guys. You win. Stay up forever! I tell you what. I'm not gonna sing you any more lullabies.
Geoffrey Barone, Michael Barone: Okay!
Ray Barone: Oh, yeah. Funny. How about I call Santa, tell him how funny you guys are?
[to himself as he goes to the couch]
Ray Barone: Santa calls the Easter Bunny, he calls the Tooth Fairy. I don't gotta buy squat.
[Debra comes in]
Debra Barone: Hi.
Ray Barone: Oh, my God. How long was this meeting?
Debra Barone: It ended at 8:00, but I stayed after to talk.
Ray Barone: You know, here's the thing about the twins. I know that I'm supposed to love them, but why do they make it so freakin' hard?
Debra Barone: Listen, listen, Ray, it was such a great meeting. Remember all those ideas I had about fundraising and the readathon? It was amazing. I was talking, and all these people were really interested in what I had to say.
Ray Barone: The problem is, the twins they know I have to love them. They use that love against me. You know what? I can't anymore.
Debra Barone: All these people want me to run for president.
Ray Barone: What people?
Debra Barone: The people at the school. They want me to run for president of the school governing board. Isn't that fantastic?
Ray Barone: Wha...
Debra Barone: There's an election next week, and so far Bill Parker is running unopposed.
Ray Barone: Parker. I hate that Parker.
Debra Barone: Would you listen?
Ray Barone: He stole our babysitter.
Debra Barone: I'm gonna do it, Ray.
Ray Barone: Do what?
Debra Barone: Run for president. President of the school. Yeah.
Ray Barone: President of the school?
Debra Barone: Yeah.
Ray Barone: But that's, like, a lot of meetings at night.
Debra Barone: This is the perfect thing for me. I've been waiting for something like this to get involved in, where I can make a difference and use my brain and help people. I could make a good president.
Ray Barone: But you're already president of this house. We need you. Ask not what your house can do for you.
