Coordinator: Okay, players, prepare to play the final simulated game of the day. Our contestants. Professor Reginald Bradley of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Dr. Julie Steever, chief of neurosurgery, Victory Memorial Hospital. And Dorothy Zbornak, a substitute teacher. All right. Our first category is English History. "Shared command with Cromwell in victory at Naseby."
Dorothy: Who is Baron Fairfax?
Coordinator: That is correct.
Dorothy: [exclaiming] Ooh, that was a snap. I thought this was gonna be a challenge, but, you know, then again, I've always been a student of history. Ah, maybe history has never been your subject-
Coordinator: Ms. Zbornak? Can we continue? I'm afraid this is the point where Alex would politely tell you to shut up.
Dorothy: He would, and he should. I mean, after all, he is the moderator. And the function, if not to-
Coordinator: Shut up.

Dorothy: I'm gonna do it, Ma. This is my shot. They're taking applications beginning Monday morning. I am going to be the first in line.
Blanche: Make that second.
Dorothy: What are you talking about, Blanche? You've never cared about Jeopardy.

Quote from Rose

Rose: Oh, he's adorable! Oh, I love you already. In fact, I haven't felt this way about a dog since... Since Rusty.
Dorothy: Oh, God, not the Rusty story again.
Rose: Charlie brought him home as a present after our first child was born.
Blanche: Oh, I wish we had a doggie door so I could push your head through it.
Rose: Oh, he was the best. Trustworthy, loyal, smart as a whip. Oh, I really thought Rusty was gonna be with our family forever.
Sophia: Dorothy, do we have any candles? I'd like to drip some hot wax in my ears.
Rose: Then one horrible, horrible night, our house caught on fire, and it was Rusty who awakened everybody. It was Rusty who pulled us all to safety. He even dashed back in the burning building to rescue Scruffy, our cat.
All: Whom he never really liked.
Rose: Yes, sir, he was a real hero. Oh, if only he hadn't gone back in for the TV. He was a dachshund, for God's sake. I mean, what made him think he could carry a TV?
Sophia: You know how pig-headed the Germans are.
