Beverly: Well, well. If it isn't the Goldberg Girls, minus the Goldberg.
Essie Karp: Beverly, great news. Our pink eye and our scurvy cleared up.
Beverly: It was whooping cough, and save it.
Linda Schwartz: Look, we didn't want to hurt your feelings, but the ski trip is tomorrow, and we still have a ton of work to do.
Beverly: Skip it, Linda. And to think I wanted to live with the three of you in a beautiful Miami bungalow with wicker furniture and bright floral patterns.
Essie Karp: Is that what this is about? You forcing us to be your Golden Girls?
Beverly: Well, I don't know about "forcing", but maybe "tricking".
