Quote from Blanche
Dorothy: Rose, he's wearing a cape.
Blanche: And a mask. He's wearing a cape and a mask. Wait a minute. Is this guy an insurance salesman named Marshall Herskovitz?
Quote from Rose
Dorothy: You spent 30 seconds getting an autograph. You don't know the guy.
Rose: Dorothy, he's a television celebrity. Besides, I talked to him for over an hour. There weren't too many people in line. A Mr. Whipple look-alike was next door demonstrating the new three-ply toilet tissue.
Quote from Blanche
Dorothy: Can you imagine making a date with a guy in a mask and a cape you met at a shopping mall? Pretty strange.
Blanche: Boy, I'll say. She didn't even know what kind of car he drives.
Quote from Sophia
Blanche: Oh, Sophia, did they deliver my new bed?
Sophia: Yeah, and they were here all day setting it up.
Blanche: All day? For that simple little bed?
Sophia: Simple? I haven't seen so much brass since the brass-knuckle RV show at the Palermo Hilton.
Quote from Rose
Rose: Blanche, do you think-
Blanche: Not now.
Rose: What's her hurry?
Sophia: Didn't you see that enormous thing in her bedroom.
Rose: I thought she'd stopped seeing Roger.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Don't count on that job, Dorothy. Many women have had their hopes dashed by smooth-talking TV sharpies. Dave Garroway told me if I treated him right, I'd be his sidekick on the Today Show. I said no and he ended up with a monkey. Draw your own conclusions.
Quote from Dorothy
Rose: Dorothy, how's the show going?
Dorothy: Terrible. But better than Thirty something.
Quote from Sophia
Blanche: I am serious. What do you think I should do?
Dorothy: Oh, Blanche, now you know the difference between right and wrong.
Sophia: Please. In bed, she only knows the difference between right and left.
Quote from Dorothy
Rose: Don't worry, Dorothy. I was trained in psychology back in St. Olaf.
Dorothy: That doesn't count, Rose. In St. Olaf, they think that Freud is a way to cook chicken.
Quote from Dorothy
Mr. Hastings: Dorothy, I read your memo. I like the way you think.
Dorothy: Well, thank you, Mr. Hastings. Thank you.
Mr. Hastings: You've got modern ideas for a woman your age.
Dorothy: You're just saying that.
Mr. Hastings: No. No. I mean it. I really think you're old.
