- Blanche Devereaux: Are you tellin' me that St Olaf printed its own War Bonds?
- Rose Nylund: Yes. Oh, we were very patriotic. In late '42, we wanted to fund the development of a top-secret weapon that we were sure would end the war: attack cows.
- Blanche Devereaux: Take me now, Lord.
- Rose Nylund: No-one expects trouble from a cow. The plan was, we would drop these highly-trained, killer cows behind the enemy lines. It wasn't 'til they were airborne that we realized, a cow can't pull a ripcord. Well, the project wasn't a total failure. If there's one thing the Germans hate, it's a mess!
- Dorothy Zbornak: [Stan is telling the Girls about his latest invention] What is it this time, Stanley? Whoopee cushions for the hearing-impaired?
- Stan Zbornak: It's not a novelty, it's a Zbornie!
- Rose Nylund: What's a Zbornie?
- Dorothy Zbornak: I put up with it for thirty-eight years, Rose, you don't want to know.
- Stan Zbornak: It's not that, Dorothy, I just used the same name.
- Blanche Devereaux: They're not gonna redeem the bonds?
- Rose Nylund: Oh, they want to, but the city would have to liquidate all its assets. St Olaf would be bankrupt.
- Blanche Devereaux: And this affects me how?
- Rose Nylund: Don't you understand? If we take that money, there won't be any left for the police cars, and the fire trucks, and the Children's Cheese Museum.
- Blanche Devereaux: You have a museum where children go to look at cheese?
- Rose Nylund: Hey, it beats learning about it in the streets.
