Dorothy Quote #159
Quote from Dorothy in Second Motherhood
Lou: [holding a toilet] Plumber.
Dorothy: Could I see some identification? Come on in.
Lou: So you two are the proud parents of the new Dolan Standard Lowboy.
Dorothy: Yes, we're sending out engraved announcements.
Lou: You probably want to get her operational as soon as possible. After all, she's quite a showpiece. Where do I install it?
Dorothy: Well, actually, Lou, we're going to install her ourselves. Follow me.
Lou: Hold it. You're not serious?
Rose: Why not?
Lou: Well, ladies, the installation of a toilet's a very delicate procedure. You got to go to school, you got to be a trained technician. You got to be a man, for God's sakes!
Dorothy: You know, to tell you the truth, Lou, women are capable of more than just cleaning these things.
Lou: Is that so? Well, as long as you ladies are playing plumber, why don't you play moving man, too?
Dorothy: Fine, fine, we will!

Quote from Dorothy
Blanche: Well, I just hate myself for feeling this way, but I don't want to be a mother again. I mean, it was a wonderful experience at the time, but I always thought this part of my life was supposed to be for me.
Dorothy: Honey, I understand exactly how you feel. I feel the same way. You know, at our age we should be grandmothers, not mothers. Once a week, the grandchildren come over for a visit. You cook them dinner, they spill it on the furniture. They hide under your bed. You hurt yourself looking for them. They ask you what those spots on your hands are. They tell you they love you and then just before total exhaustion sets in, they go home and become their mother's problems.
Quote from Dorothy
Rose: You're a wonderful plumber's assistant, Dorothy. Boy, you sure know your way around a snake.
Dorothy: I've had a lot of experience. After all, I was married to one for 38 years.

Dorothy: And do you know what's on the other side of that lateral fusion pipe?
Rose: No.
Dorothy: My head!
