Robert Barone : [Robert enters the house dressed as Santa Clause] Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas! Is Ally here? I understand there are doubts about me in this house.
Ray Barone : There are now. Come on, Robert.
Robert Barone : No, no. You have me mistaken for some other party. For I am the jolly old St. Nick. Ho, ho, ho! Mom told me what you did. Nice.
Debra Barone : Hey, Ally look. It's Santa Clause!
Ray Barone : Oh, God.
Ally Barone : Santa?
Robert Barone : Yes! It is really I! And I came to see *you*, Ally because I heard you were a very good girl this year and you're going to get everything you want. Ho, ho, ho!
[He turns towards Ray]
Robert Barone : Unlike some other people. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Ray Barone : Yeah, hold the ho's. I wanna talk to you for a minute Santa.
Robert Barone : I'm sorry! I'm with a client. And you may call me Mr. Clause. Ho, ho, ho, ho!
[Frank runs in also dressed as Santa]
Frank Barone : Where's Ally? Ho, ho.
[He sees Robert]
Frank Barone : Holy crap! What are you doing here?
Robert Barone : I'm Santa Clause.
Frank Barone : You're Santa?
Ray Barone : Alright, alright. Will you guys cut it out? Come on. She's confused enough already.
Frank Barone : What's there to be confused about? I'm the *real* Santa Clause! Who is *this* imposter?
Debra Barone : Well, you couldn't both be Santa. You must be... Santa's helpers.
Frank Barone : Right! He's my helper.
[to Robert]
Frank Barone : Hey, helper! Why don't you go warm up the reindeer and bring the sled around?

[Ray has just learned that his Mickey Mantle autographed baseball may be a fake]
Debra Barone : You okay, Ray?
Ray Barone : What if they're right? What if he didn't sign this?
Debra Barone : Come on, Ray. I don't remember you ever looking at that ball. It's been buried in the closet since we moved here.
Ray Barone : No, not buried. Tucked away. You don't- you don't get it. Mickey Mantle signed this to me. To Ray. Ray. Then he wishes me luck. *Good* luck. Then he signs it. Mickey Mantle. Look at that. Look how the y in the Ray is the same as the y in Mickey. You know, for one moment the greatest player that I ever saw was thinking about me. I know it sounds stupid but this guy. This guy's the reason that I'm a sportswriter. This guy, this guy's Mickey Mantle.
Debra Barone : Gee, that's beautiful Ray. It's very passionate. You remember what you said to me when you proposed? "So, how 'bout it?"
[She rolls her eyes and walks away]

Debra Barone : Ray, come on. Are you still thinking about that baseball?
Ray Barone : No. No, I'm thinking about a lot of things now.
Debra Barone : Like what?
Ray Barone : Remember that guy that you went out with before me? Eric... Butterpants?
Debra Barone : Eric Butterman, Ray.
Ray Barone : Oh, so you *do* remember him!
Debra Barone : Yeah. What about him?
Ray Barone : You always said to me that you were glad that he broke up with you otherwise you would've never met me.
Debra Barone : Yeah, so?
Ray Barone : So. So, if he had never broken up with you, would you have been gladder?
Debra Barone : You're really crazy. You know that?
Ray Barone : No. No, no, no, no. How do I know? How do I know that I'm the one you want to end up with.
Debra Barone : Here's a hint, Ray. Our three kids!
Ray Barone : Yeah. Yeah. Our three blonde kids.
