Quotes4

  • Blanche Devereaux: [laughing and humming, as in ecstasy, while eating cookies] Ha, ha, ha... hmmm, hmmm... oooh... mmm, mmm.
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Blanche, are you in a good mood?
  • Blanche Devereaux: Dorothy, you always could see right through me.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Keep it up with those Chips Ahoy and Superman couldn't see right through you.
  • Rose Nylund: So, Ham, what's "Ham" short for?
  • Sophia Petrillo: My guess is "ham and potatoes"!
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: [Ham just rang the doorbell] Blanche, will you calm down? I have never seen you so worked up over one date.
  • Blanche Devereaux: Dorothy, I let this gorgeous man slip though my fingers once before, I don't intend to let it happen again.
  • Sophia Petrillo: [Sophia opens the door for Ham, an overweight bald man] You couldn't let him slip through your fingers now if you used a shoehorn.
  • Sophia Petrillo: [in a card game on the lanai, Sophia doesn't play fair] Look, Mr Finebaum's totally naked in his bedroom window.
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: [Rose looks where Sophia is pointing; Dorothy grabs the cards] That is the third time we caught you cheating. Ma, you're out of the game.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Hey, give me a break. When you're 80, you're allowed to cheat, just like you're allowed to take money out of your daughter's purse. Oops. Uh, was that the 'phone? Don't trouble yourselves. I'll get it.
  • [she goes inside]
  • Rose Nylund: How did you know your mother was cheating, Dorothy?
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Because Mr Finebaum never walks around totally naked. He always wears a Boy Scout neckerchief. But never in the same place twice. Which is why there's no Mrs Finebaum. Deal.
