Dorothy Quote #430
Quote from Dorothy in The Housekeeper
Dorothy: Girls. Girls, look what I found under my bed.
Rose: Gee, that's the most colorful dust ball I've ever seen.
Dorothy: This is no dust ball, Rose.
Blanche: What do you think it is?
Dorothy: It's a rock. I think it may be some kind of charm.
Marguerite: It is. I learned it from my grandmother. You see, you put a specially-painted rock beneath a person's bed to bring them a restful sleep.
Dorothy: Are you saying that you put this under my bed?
Marguerite: But I was only trying to be helpful. I figured with those terrible bags, you needed the rest.
Rose: Dorothy always looks like that.
Blanche: Besides, it would take a lot more than rest to get rid of those babies.
Dorothy: Listen, I have an idea, why don't you all take turns hitting me with a two-by-four?

Quote from Sophia
Marguerite: What is she talking about?
Sophia: Don't play dumb with me. I've been known to cast a curse myself. Do you think Shelley Long was really tired of playing in Cheers? Wrong, baby. I was tired of her!
Quote from Rose
Dorothy: Look, Marguerite is a lovely person. She just cannot do the job.
Rose: [sighs] I hate to admit it, but you're right. We had a similar situation back in St. Olaf, with Mrs. Gunderson, our grade school teacher. Oh, she was the nicest woman you'd ever want to meet, but as the years went by, she got her facts a little confused. In biology class she started telling kids that the human body was made up of 80% Ovaltine. While we were studying WWI, she told us mustard gas was something you got from eating too many hot dogs. That's why to this day in St. Olaf, everyone celebrates the 4th of July with a thin omelet on a bun.
Dorothy: What do you say after we fire Marguerite, we each chip in and get Rose a CAT scan.
Quote from Rose
Blanche: I wonder what this is.
Rose: I'll bet it's a love potion.
Dorothy: Ah, Rose, come on, honey. There's no such thing as a love potion.
Rose: Sure there is, Dorothy. My grandparents got together because of a love potion. Well, actually it was a foot salve Gramps accidentally swallowed. You see, Grandma was the nurse who pumped his stomach, but she was new and she attached the nozzle to the wrong place. Next thing you know, they were engaged.
