Sophia: Uncle Nunzio?
Dorothy: Uncle Nunzio died to get away from Aunt Teresa.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: My grandparents lived till their 90s. One was 102.
Blanche: In Minnesota.
Rose: So?
Blanche: Rose, you know how they freeze dead people to preserve them and then bring them back? That's like living in Minnesota. The cold slows down the aging process. I would move there in a shot if only they had men there.
Rose: We have men in Minnesota.
Blanche: Farmers, Rose. Farmers.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: This is a very depressing conversation.

Rose: Why Arlington Cemetery?

Rose: But they're all dead.
Blanche: So are the men I date.

Sophia: You're Scandinavian. What do you know, a thousand ways to make herring?
Rose: Well, not a thousand, but a lot, and I'm famous for my Lindstrom surprise.

Dorothy: Oh, what fun!

Blanche: Wait, your last name was Lindstrom. You named your cat Lindstrom Lindstrom?
