Quote from Dorothy in 72 Hours

Dorothy: Oh, Rose, excuse me. I didn't know you were out here.
Rose: It's OK, Dorothy. I was just praying. Trying to put in a good word for tomorrow. What are you doing?
Dorothy: Oh, just working on this stupid flier for my stupid banquet. It's not important.
Rose: Sure it is.
Dorothy: It's OK, Rose.
Rose: No, it is important. What's the matter?
Dorothy: I've rewritten this thing three times, and the most persuasive slogan I can come up with is: "Save our swamps. No, really, we mean it."
Rose: I like it.
Dorothy: No, you don't.
Rose: No, I don't.
Dorothy: It sounds like I'm selling mosquitoes, Rose. I mean, not that they don't serve a purpose. All life is precious. [slaps a bug off her] I care about our wetlands. I just wish they were more glamorous, you know? I mean, I'm trying to save something that you can't go into without wearing hip boots.

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Hey! Wait a minute. Are you saying this should be me and not you?

Quote from Dorothy

Dorothy: What an idiot! Of all the lamebrained, moronic dopes. I mean, if ever I wanted to reach right through the phone and strangle somebody.
Sophia: Not really a morning person, are you, pussycat?
Dorothy: It's this caterer that I hired for my Save the Wetlands banquet. He's a week late with the menu, now he tells me that he's going to serve wild duck and crayfish. They come from the wetlands. It's like holding a Save the Whales function on a Japanese trawler.

Quote from Rose

Rose: I haven't been this scared since 1952, when St. Olaf's most active volcano threatened to erupt. Luckily, there were some Druid priests who were in town for the opening of Stonehengeland. They said they could stop it if they could sacrifice the town's dumbest virgin. I don't know why I raised my hand. It must have just been the excitement of the moment. But they said the only way to prevent the eruption was for me to crawl through their legs, up the volcano, while they gave me my birthday whacks. Well - and you're not gonna believe this - it turns out they weren't Druid priests at all. Just a bunch of Shriners looking for a good time.
