- Frank Barone: Okay, but I still can't burp the way I used to.
- Ray Barone: Just stick to your rehab, dad.
- Frank Barone: Boy am I glad to be out of that hospital. They had me so drugged up I didn't know whether I was coming or going.
- Marie Barone: I thought what they had you on was marvelous. I'm going to call Mexico to try and get some for the house.
- Marie Barone: I told him not to work on those stairs. I KNEW something like this would happen! I can't bare to see him hurt.
- [to Frank]
- Marie Barone: Why are you such a stubborn Jackass?
- Frank Barone: Doctor, could I have THIS removed?

- Ray Barone: Well, here's something you might try. Think of ME when we're having sex.
- Debra Barone: We did this to him, Ray. We lied to him and now he has a broken rib. WE broke his rib. We might as well have rolled off that bed and ON TO HIM!
- Ray Barone: HEY! You to put images my head? Because we MAY never have sex again.

- Debra Barone: Because you STARTED it! None of this would've happened if you didn't have to tell your friends what a be STUDD you are!
- Ray Barone: Oh, why couldn't the nurse hear THAT?
