Rose Quote #131
Rose: Girls, why do we have to watch TV anyway? There are plenty of other fun things we can do. We can play cards, listen to records, bake cookies. Now, we can't let this nasty flu get us down.
Blanche: It's bad enough we have to miss the banquet, must we also participate in a Girl Scout Jamboree?
Rose: I was just trying to be kind, courteous, helpful...
Dorothy: Well, knock it off! I've had it up to here with your cheerful disposition.
Rose: Oh, do you think it's easy to be cheerful around you two? You know how many of these stinking Hot Toddies I have to drink to keep on a happy face? I'm not gonna do it anymore.

‘The Flu’ Quotes
Quote from Sophia
Blanche: You don't have to worry about me. I never get sick. I take very good care of myself. I treat my body like a temple.
Sophia: Yeah, open to everyone, day or night.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: In Sicily, we never went to the doctor. We went to the Widow Caravelle. Whatever you had, she had a cure. She was best known for this green salve she used to make to treat ear infections. One day, she gave a batch to Salvadore, the village idiot. He misunderstood the directions and put it on his linguine instead of in his ear.
Dorothy: I guess if you're an idiot with a hearing problem, you do things like that.
Sophia: As it turns out, it wasn't such a bad thing to do. The stuff tasted great and Salvadore decided to market it. At first, it didn't move so well. Linguine With Ear Salve on a menu doesn't look too appetizing. But once he changed the name to pesto sauce, it moved like hotcakes.
Dorothy: Ma, you're making this up!
Sophia: So what? I'm old, I'm supposed to be colorful.
Quote from Sophia
Blanche: Girls, I did it! I finally broke down and bought that dress I've been eyeing for a month.
Dorothy: I thought you were gonna wear the silk one you wore to last year's banquet.
Blanche: I changed my mind. I decided too many people would recognize it. It is such a stunning shade of green.
Sophia: The only thing they'll remember is the way you fall out of it.
Blanche: Oh, Sophia!
Sophia: If you asked people the color, half of them would say flesh-tone.
