    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Goofs
      When Blanche says, "I'm not gonna stand for this", Dorothy responds with, "but I bet you'll lay down for it." As an English teacher, Dorothy should have known to say "lie down." Sophia put Dorothy up to it so I don't understand why Dorothy got yelled at.
    • Quotes

      Blanche: Ooh... I've got goosebumps. Mel'll be here any minute.

      Dorothy: Honey, why are you so jumpy? You've been out with Mel a thousand times.

      Blanche: I know but now there's more at stake - everything's changed. It's all new and exciting. In many ways I... I feel just the way I felt when I was a virgin.

      Sophia: You mean the feeling isn't gonna last long?

      Blanche: Are you implying I lost my virginity at an early age?

      Sophia: I'm just saying you're lucky Jack & Jill Magazine didn't have a gossip columb.

      Dorothy: Ma!

      Sophia: Hold it, Pussycat. I'm on a roll.

      Blanche: I'm sorry, Sophia. But I'm not gonna let your skepticism ruin my entire evening. Mel and I were maent to be together.

      Sophia: I wish I could say the same for your thighs.

      Sophia: God, I'm hot tonight!

      Blanche: I'm not gonna stand for this.

      Sophia: Take it, Dorothy.

      Dorothy: But I'll bet you'll lie down for it.

      Sophia: Well, that was just plain rude.

      Blanche: Some people just don't know when to quit.
