  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Ma I said I was sorry.
  • Sophia Petrillo: The least you can do when we're gonna see a movie is say it's a foreign film.
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: What is the big deal?
  • Sophia Petrillo: I had to stand in front of the screen just to read the subtitles and all that running back and forth to complete a sentence almost killed me!
  • Sophia Petrillo: [Scene missing from DVD releases] Hey, where's my microwave popcorn?
  • Rose Nylund: We gave it away. Since Blanche got her pacemaker the doctor says we can't use the microwave.
  • Sophia Petrillo: But I love that popcorn!
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Ma, if we use the microwave, Blanche could die.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Same thing with Cup O'Noodles?
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: We're not going to use it, Ma. As a matter of fact, tomorrow the people from Goodwill are coming to pick it up.
  • Sophia Petrillo: But I love this microwave. I'm 83 years old, do you want me to spend what little time I have left waiting for a baked potato?
  • [Later after Blanche leaves the room]
  • Sophia Petrillo: For this we're giving up Cheez Whiz nachos?
  • Rose Nylund: [singing] Over there, over there, send the word send the word over there, that the Yanks are coming! The Yanks are coming! The drums rum-tum...
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: THAT was the lullaby your mother used to sing?
  • Rose Nylund: Yes, it was the only song she knew.
  • Rose Nylund: When I get nervous I put my head between my knees.
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: No, that's for nausea.
  • Rose Nylund: When I'm scared I'm nauseous. Remember the time that guy tried to steal my purse?
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Worked better than mace.
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Blanche's doctor wants her to go back to the hospital for more tests.
  • Rose Nylund: It makes sense, just to be on the safe side.
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Oh, well, of course it does. What kind of doctor would he be if he didn't want to check out everything.
  • Blanche Devereaux: [very nervous] Yeah, well, if it makes him happy. If everything's as bad as he thinks it is, he wants to put a pacemaker in me.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Everybody's got a nickname for it.
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: How'd your physical go?
  • Blanche Devereaux: Oh, just fine. The doctor could not believe it when I told him my age.
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Why, what age did you tell him?
  • Blanche Devereaux: I just want to be young, beautiful and healthy again
  • Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Blanche, that's what we *all* want!
  • Blanche Devereaux: I know - but I *deserve* it!
