Quote from Dorothy in Letter to Gorbachev

Alexi: Would you please make sure Rose receives this note?
Dorothy: Wait, you can't be serious. Why would the premier of Russia want to see Rose?
Alexi: He was quite moved by her letter. He wishes to extend an invitation to her and her family to visit Moscow and discuss nuclear disarmament and world peace. We'll be in touch. Thank you. [exits]
Dorothy: Oh, this has to be some kind of joke.
Blanche: No, it isn't. Look at this. This is an official document to Rose from the premier of Russia.
Dorothy: But why would he want to meet the same woman who once said, "If the city of Atlantis is lost, how can Bobby Vinton appear there twice a year?"

Dorothy & Blanche: Large Curd Cottage Cheese Queen.
