"Tissues" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Ant

Debra does not want to cook because of the ants and decides that the family is going to Marco's for dinner instead. Raymond doesn't like bringing the kids out to eat because of the way they act, so he objects. Debra ignores his objection. This is what sparks the argument when they return from dinner.

Answer: That even the infestation is laughing at that statement

Marie says, "She'll get to them later. Even the ants are laughing." Obviously, Marie does not think that Debra will ever get to the dishes. Knowing Marie, she probably does the dishes while the Barones are out.

Answer: Whistles

Ally, Michael, and Geoffrey run into the house with whistles, making noise. Raymond says that he thought that things couldn't have been louder - then the kids find the whistles.

Answer: They are one pattern, but the walls are a different pattern.

Raymond tells Debra that he hates the curtains. She responds that he never complained in the store. Raymond insists that he said, 'Really, those curtains?' as a hint. Debra thinks that a response like that is not helpful to her.

Answer: A package of pens with red ink

Raymond says he thinks that the twins would like the box-kite kits, and that they are bigger then the ones that the Parkers have. Marie and Debra love Ally's new purple notebook. Raymond figures that buying the ant spray means that they can cancel the exterminator they hired. Raymond also returns with milk, travel brochures and ten boxes of tissues.

Answer: Because Frank's stomach makes a noise he heard in the woods once

Marie comes to Raymond and Debra's house with sandwiches, but she gets sidetracked watching Raymond unpack what he bought. Robert walks in and tells Marie to give Frank a sandwich. However, Robert also gets sidetracked when Raymond freaks out and doesn't bring Frank his sandwich. Once Frank's show is over, he goes into the kitchen to get it himself.

Answer: Because Debra does not like his tissues

After hearing from Debra that she does not like the tissues, Raymond says that he will not back down on the issue. Robert responds with, "Now we have a show." He sits down at the kitchen table to watch.

Answer: That they are alike

Raymond tells Debra and Marie that they are alike because Marie did not let him make decisions growing up, and Debra does not let him make decisions now. Marie and Debra respond with an annoyed, "Hey!".

Answer: They are too greasy.

Frank says that the tissues stink. When Raymond yells at him, Frank says that they are too greasy - "You go to blow your nose and you think you did it already." Raymond says, "Knowing you, you probably did." He most likely said this to be funny, or rude, but it just comes off as foolish.

Answer: They are old.

Since Raymond says that the tissues were on sale and came with an in-store coupon as well, it is obvious that no one was buying them. Robert asks Raymond why he thinks they were on sale. He lists all of the above except for 'they are old'. His comments finally send Raymond over the edge.

Answer: They are one of the most important decisions to make regarding decor.

When Marie says that tissues are very important, Raymond points out that they are used for people to blow their noses. Marie insists that the correct box of tissues will invite a person to blow their nose. Raymond looks at her like she has three heads.

Answer: Mr. Bumble Puss

Robert says that the only person who wanted to buy the tissues is "Mr. Bumble Puss". He then clarifies by handing Raymond the tissues and saying, "That's you." This prompts Raymond to get fed up and kick everyone out of the house. Debra mentions that they were supposed to go over to Marie's for dinner that night, but that it might not happen...thanks to Raymond.

Answer: He leaves the stove unattended and the tissues catch on fire.

Raymond answers the ringing phone in the kitchen. Gianni is on the other end, asking if Raymond can go golfing the next day. When Gianni says that he thinks it is going to snow, Raymond goes out to check the sky. While they argue, the flames on the stove spreads away to the tissues, and catch the curtains on fire.

Answer: It is too short.

Debra mentions the hose in the beginning of the episode. While attempting to put out the kitchen fire, Raymond gets the hose. It's too short and pulls him back. He tries to spray into the kitchen anyway, by changing the setting on the nozzle and using his thumb to angle it.

He only succeeds in getting the living room wet. Debra comes downstairs and Raymond alerts her to the fire. Her quick thinking leads her to get the fire extinguisher from under the sink and save the house.

Answer: Picking out new curtains

An insurance agent is helping the Barones fix the kitchen. When he goes out to get paint samples for the kitchen, he gives Debra a book of curtain samples. Raymond moves closer to her to look them over. Debra gives him a warning look and he goes back to where he was.
