      When Doug grabs the remote out Ray's hand it's clear a battery or batteries come out because you can hear it and Doug looks at the ground. Right after that Ray turns the TV on without replacing the battery or batteries.
    • Quotes

      Doug Heffernan: Watching the game with the wives there... Maybe we can get hookers, too!

      Ray Barone: No, they're in the other room, they start talking, and we're watching the game!

      Doug Heffernan: What if they don't have anything to talk about?

      Ray Barone: Then we jump state 'em...

      Doug Heffernan: Jump start 'em?

      Ray Barone: Yeah, ya say something like, "Hey, Honey, didn't you just get your nails done somewhere around here?" and bam!, they're off talking, and we're watching the game!

      Doug Heffernan: You're very smart!

      Ray Barone: You forgot good looking.
