    Ride along

    One of the better episodes of the show. The show did kind of waste some great comedy opportunities with Robert being a policemen and it would of been brilliant if he tuck Frank on a ride along to. The action sequence is good, shows Robert the hero but again I would of loved to of seen more from that. Overall its a good episode, well worth a watch.

      [Frank is eating lasagna from the platter]

      Marie Barone: Frank! What are you doing? You can't eat it from there! Your fork was in there! Now nobody can eat it!

      Frank Barone: That's all I have to do? In that case, the fork's been in the ice cream, too!

      Ray Barone: [comes in] Hey.

      Marie Barone: Hi, Raymond. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? Only you can't have lasagna... Or ice cream.

      Frank Barone: [sticks his fork in cake] Or chocolate cake.

      Marie Barone: Look at him! He's like an animal, marking his territory!

      [Frank sticks Marie with the fork]

      Marie Barone: Hey!

      Frank Barone: What? That's a compliment.

      Ray Barone: God, how I wish I could say this is the wrong house...
