Quotes3

  • Rose Nylund: Hi girls... gee what's my diary doing here? Next to a pair of pliers?
  • Blanche Devereaux: Rose, whatever it is you're thinking - it isn't true.
  • Rose Nylund: Good - then George Bush isn't married to his mother?
  • Blanche Devereaux: What's the most romantic thing a man ever did for you, Dorothy?
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Oh, well, the most romantic thing was when Stan proposed. Oh, he took me to a very expensive restaurant. I went to the powder room, and when I returned to the table, there was an open bottle of Dom Pérignon and two filled glasses. We clinked the glasses in a toast, and Stan gave me a coy smile, and I winked at him, and then I just downed the champagne in one gulp, and it didn't go down smoothly. Later, Stan told me that he put my engagement ring in the bottom of the glass. It turned up three days later.
  • Rose Nylund: Where'd it turn up, Dorothy?
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: On the Home Shopping Network, Rose.
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: [about Rocco, Sophia's latest boyfriend] ... Ever since ma started seeing him, she's on the phone all the time, she stays up all night. Last night she came with NyQuil on her breath and his surgical stockings in her pocket.
  • Rose Nylund: Dorothy, can I ask you something?
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: I don't know what it means - I just don't like the possibilities.
  • Rose Nylund: No - I wanted to ask you - do you think Blanche has been picking on me lately?
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: I haven't noticed.
  • Rose Nylund: [Blanche walks in] Hi, Blanche!
  • Blanche Devereaux: ...Must you always be so cheerful you... empty-headed, Mary Poppins knock-off!
  • Rose Nylund: [to Dorothy] Let me know if you notice anything.
