Season 7, Episode 24 - Aired May 9, 1992
After Blanche talks an unwilling Dorothy into going on a date with her equally reluctant uncle Lucas (Leslie Nielsen), they get their own back on Blanche by pretending to be engaged. After their joke proposal turns sincere, the girls must confront a future where newly-wed Dorothy moves to Atlanta.
Quote from Rose
Rose: [inner monologue, singing] Hi-ho, the derry-o The farmer in the dell The farmer takes a wife The farmer takes a wife
Quote from Dorothy
Dorothy: Oh, look at this one. Scrunched-up little frown. Kind of reminds me of my mother. [hits crab with mallet]
Quote from Sophia
Dorothy: No, I had the time of my life last night. And even if he never calls again, at least we'll always have Don's Crab House.
Sophia: Ingrid Bergman had Paris, my pussycat has crabs.
Quote from Rose
Lucas: Dorothy, I know this sounds impetuous. I know we just met, but I'm at that stage in my life where I can't afford to waste time. [down on one knee] Dorothy, I love you and I want to know. Will ya- Will ya-
Rose: I think he's gonna ask her out again.
Quote from Rose
Rose: Oh, I think it's romantic. It's like something out of a '40s movie. Strong, handsome, daring, and now she's got a man.
Quote from Sophia
Blanche: I can't believe the two of you carrying on when another woman is about to steal my destiny. I always thought it would be me closing out my last years in Hollingsworth Manor.
Rose: Look, if anybody has a right to complain, it's me. When Dorothy gets married, think about this, she'll be a Hollingsworth. Lucas and Blanche are already Hollingsworth. Sophia will be a Hollingsworth-in-law. Everybody will be related but me.
Sophia: Now, that's what I call family planning.
Quote from Dorothy
Lucas: I've been thinking about your suggestion, Dorothy. You're absolutely right. The columns must come down. The new Hollingsworth Manor should be red brick. Cape Cod.
Blanche: [exclaiming]
Lucas: Blanche, I didn't know you were home. Haven't seen too much of you this trip, sugar plum.
Blanche: That's because you've been too busy Yankee Doodlin'.
Dorothy: Blanche, I'm sure you don't mean that. You'll feel differently when you come to the hoe-down we're throwing on the anniversary of Lee's surrender.
Quote from Sophia
Lucas: Uh, Blanche, there is something I must say. Dorothy. Dorothy, will you marry me for real?
Dorothy: For real?
Lucas: For real.
Dorothy: Oh, yes, Lucas. Oh, yes, oh, yes.
Sophia: Is it my stroke or did they do this already?
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: [taking a Polaroid] I just love watching you two kids kiss. It's so beautiful to see. He loves you, pussycat.
He loves you. Listen, Luke, I want you to know I don't feel like I'm losing a daughter. I feel like I'm gaining a sucker- Son! Son. Where did that come from? Oh, the mind, huh?
Lucas: I can't wait to be your son.
Sophia: Oh, you are delightful. Such a gem. Here. Get yourself a girl tonight. We'll understand.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: [taking a Polaroid] I just love to watch you two kiss. The last picture was a little blurry. It was hard to tell who was who. [to Lucas] No offense, pussycat.
Lucas: Pussycat, huh? Nobody's called me that since the Navy.
Sophia: You know, I think he's just nuts enough to actually turn up at the wedding tomorrow.
Dorothy: You're a furry little gnome, and we feed you too much.
