‘Blanche's Little Girl’
Season 3, Episode 14 - Aired January 2, 1988
Blanche is surprised when her daughter, Rebecca, arrives carrying a lot of extra weight, including a jerk of a boyfriend.
Quote from Blanche
Dorothy: You think he might be her boyfriend?
Blanche: I didn't see any pictures of him when I went through her things.
Dorothy: Went through her things? Why didn't you just ask?
Blanche: Hey! I don't stick my nose in where it doesn't belong.
Quote from Rose
Blanche: Why don't you all get comfortable and I'll make a nice pot of hot coffee. Which I'd like to pour right down his pants.
Dorothy: Blanche, how can you let him talk to Becky that way?
Rose: Dorothy's right. I haven't heard anyone insult someone like that since Lars Svensson accused Erik the Red of being a coward and called him yellow.
Dorothy: Wouldn't that make him Erik the Orange?
Quote from Dorothy
Rebecca: Mama offered to drive us over to Vero Beach to see the Dodgers play. Jeremy's a big baseball fan.
Jeremy: Becky's a bigger one. Becky's a bigger everything.
Dorothy: Not everything, Jeremy.
Quote from Rose
Dorothy: I can't take it anymore. I've gotta say something to that guy.
Rose: Dorothy, I know how frustrating it is to just sit and watch, but there's nothing we can do. It's her daughter. It's her choice. It's like something that happened back in St. Olaf.
Dorothy: Oh, Rose, stop. Rose, why is it that when any one of us makes an observation, the first thing we hear from you is "Back in St. Olaf." Did it occur to you we might be tired of "Back in St. Olaf... Back in St. Olaf... Back in St. Olaf..."?
Rose: Gee, no. I never realized. I'm sorry.
Dorothy: Oh, that's okay.
Rose: Back in that town whose name you're tired of-
Dorothy: Rose!
Quote from Dorothy
Mr. McCracken: Ladies, let's get down to business. I've got to get back for the lunch rush.
Dorothy: We'll just leave you to your negotiations.
Rose: Before we go, can we get you some milk or some Double Stuf Oreos?
Mr. McCracken: No, thank you, ma'am.
Dorothy: Boy, he's tough.
Quote from Sophia
Mr. McCracken: You expect me to buy that? The only reason I came here was so you wouldn't cause a scene at the Chow Wagon when I fired you.
Sophia: Fired us?
Mr. McCracken: You heard me. And no story you can tell is gonna make me change my mind.
Edna: Not even the one we could tell your father about how his car got dented while you were doing wheelies and not while it was sitting in the parking lot?
Mr. McCracken: You wouldn't do that. Would you?
Sophia: Hey. She's your grandmother. Has she ever lied to you?
Quote from Rose
Blanche: Oh, I hate these moments. I never did learn how to say good-bye.
Rose: Oh, there are so many ways to say farewell. Auf Wiedersehen, arrivederci, adiós, hasta luego...
Dorothy: Get lost.
Rose: See? There's another one. Good, Dorothy.
Quote from Dorothy
Blanche: Girls, you'll never guess what I got in the mail.
Rose: If it's one of those adult toys from the back of a sleazy magazine, I'm not interested.
Sophia: I am. Let me see it.
Dorothy: Ma! You wait your turn.
Quote from Dorothy
Blanche: It's a postcard from my daughter, Rebecca. Girls, can you believe it? After almost four years, my baby's comin' to see me. I'm so happy I could cry.
Rose: Blanche, you are crying.
Dorothy: Admit it, Rose. You worked for Allied Intelligence during World War II.
Rose: Huh?
Dorothy: Fine. Play it cagey.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: I tell you, it sure makes me appreciate the special relationship I have with my daughter. Pussycat?
Dorothy: Yes, Ma?
Sophia: Dial your sister for me. I never remember the area code.
