Line 3:
** The best of his would have to be "Jealous Robert," where [[Determinator|he fights through having been]] [[Groin Attack|elbowed in the balls]] to tell Robert about [[Manipulative Bitch|Marie]] and Debra's scheme to make him jealous of Amy by setting her and his friend together. "You can't stop me from doing what's right! You can't manufacture love!"
* Debra had hers when she made this speech:

* Robert has gotten one of his own as well. After being invited to a ride along in Robert's police cruiser, Ray does nothing but crack jokes about how easy Robert's job is. Finally having had enough, Robert sits him down and explains how these jokes are an insult to police officers everywhere. While the speech itself is cool, the Crowning Moment comes when Ray then points out to Robert that the pizza store they are in is being robbed. Robert orders Raymond to get down, and proceeds to sneak up on the gun toting thief, catch his attention, ''throws a pizza into his face'', and tackles the thief to the ground, effectively demonstrating just why he made Sergeant.
* Marie is often characterized by being smothering and overprotective, but she earns her [[Mama Bear]] status in the flashback episode when Robert recounts how he was divorced from his first wife, Joanne. When Marie finds out that Joanne has dumped her son, she turns on Joanne with a ferocity that would melt lesser mortals. And when Joanne ups the ante by calling Marie the B-word, Marie unloads about how she's held her tongue for too long, even ignoring Joanne's past as a stripper in Atlantic City. When Marie concludes her monologue by throwing Joanne out of the house, ending with the line "It's time to take out the trash!" the audience roars approval. Her sons are a bit more surprised by what has happened. Robert asks what he's supposed to do now, with Raymond pointing out the obvious: "Never call Mom a bitch."
Line 9:
** The entire final episode could also count as one big [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
* Also at Robert and Amy's wedding, during the reception, Pat McDougall gets one when she calls Marie out on her selfish behavior - all in her usual sweet, apologetic tone.

Marie: I was doing it for them!
Pat: Oh Marie, I think maybe, you were doing it for you... and you were so worried about what ''you'' wanted to express that you weren't thinking about anyone else, including your son. ...I-I think that's called ''narcissism''. }}
* In one episode, Frank wins a canoe trip because he raised [[For the Evulz|the prices at an auction]]. Marie forces him to go, because she finds them "romantic". While she's going on about how beautiful the trip is, Frank literally sends her up the creek without a paddle as he chows down on some chicken. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].
* "And by the way: ''sometimes'' the noodles in your lasagna are ''overcooked.''"
* When Raymond gets insulted by Jerry Musso who doesn't like him and thinks he's mediocre and unremarkable, Robert, who for the entire episode has been annoyed at Ray for being so disbelieving that there exists a person in the world who doesn't like him, silently stalks up to the man, towering over him by a good two feet and has this moment of pure, distilled [[Big Brother Instinct]]:
{{quote|
'''Jerry Musso:''' Who are you?
'''Robert:''' Who am I? I'm someone who can crush you into a fine powder. That's who I am. Now, Ray Barone has more talent in the weird pimple on his neck that won't go away then you have in your entire body you oily, two-faced hack. You only wish you could be Ray Barone because you will never come close to him as a writer, as a father, as a friend, or as a person. [turns away] Come on, Raymond. }}
* Ray giving Marie and Frank a speech about how they can't ever appreciate anything he gives them at Christmas and that they should be grateful that he bothered to put any effort into gifts for them and calls them ungrateful and storms out.
