This episode is called “Being Clean and Dirty.” It’s a dialogue between Ray and Debra where they’re talking about how each one of them is either clean or dirty, using a lot of vocabulary we would use to describe someone who is either clean or not so clean – dirty. Let’s get started.

Ray: My mother is coming for a visit, which means we need to do some spring cleaning this weekend.

Debra: I’ll get the duster, if you’ll get the broom.

Ray: I’m serious. You know how nit-picky my mother is and I want our house to be neat and tidy.

Debra: Fine, fine, I understand.
