  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?

  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.
