Raymond: Thank you

Marie (shocked): I do not lie
Raymond: Really? So, if we were to go over to your house right now, we wouldn't find any notes?
Marie (making a sorry face): Absolutely not. And I would like to say I can't believe that you are all ganging up on an elderly woman who hasn't been feeling very well lately. I need to lie down :D

Marie: Oh no, that won't do because Lee and Stan are coming for lunch tomorrow afternoon
Ray: But it's kinda all set, Ma
Marie: So the list of things that are more important than me just keeps getting longer
