Rose Quote #789

Quote from Rose in Triple Play

Miles: Rose, I forgot to tell you. My daughter Caroline is flying in for my birthday. Maybe we could all go out to lunch. I'm very anxious for you two to get together.
Rose: Why don't you two come here for lunch? I'll cook something special.
Miles: That's a great idea. I loved what you made the last time. What was it called - gerkinflunken?
Rose: Oh, no, that was my uncle. The owner of St. Olaf's most famous haberdashery. He came up with the slogan, "You don't have to be Amish to look Amish."

Quote from Rose

Rose: I am so glad to finally meet you. Lunch is all set up out on the lanai. Your father says you're a classical musician. What do you play?
Caroline: The English horn.
Rose: I didn't know horns had nationalities. But I guess it makes sense. If jumping beans can be Mexican and fire drills can be Chinese and flies can be Spanish.

Quote from Sophia

Rose: You're not having company, are you, Blanche? Because I want everything to go smoothly for Miles and Caroline. It's a big step, meeting a man's family.
Blanche: Don't worry about it, honey. Men will be over, but they'll be in and out all day.
Dorothy: Don't say it, Ma.
Sophia: I have to, Dorothy. At my age, when you don't say it, it can back up on you and come out some other way.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, I wanna know, where did you get the money?

Dorothy: The computer made a mistake. Ma, that money doesn't belong to you. Now, how much are we talking about?
Sophia: Enough to have you rubbed out if you rat on me.
Dorothy: Ma!
Sophia: So far, 170 grand. But I haven't checked today's mail.
