Rose: Okey-dokey. Let's see. Ah. Isn't it a fact that you have a drawer full of retirement home brochures and you're just waiting for the first sign of dribble on your mother's chin to lock her away forever?
Dorothy: [laughs] She- She's kidding. [laughs]
Rose: Your sock drawer, Dorothy. You know, the- The one you-know-who can't reach?

Dorothy: Well, then why not look for a more challenging position?
Rose: I did hear something about an opening for a weekend news reporter. Oh, what am I talking about? I don't have any experience.
