Quote from Rose in You Gotta Have Hope
Dorothy: Mr. Hope, could we impose upon you to entertain for a few minutes?
Bob Hope: Will I entertain? I didn't put this makeup on to go bowling.
Dorothy: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bob Hope! [applause]
Bob Hope: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Did you hear Did you hear that Ronald Reagan has just moved back to Hollywood? That's just what Hollywood needs, another unemployed actor. [laughter] Do you know Reagan left office with the highest popularity rating since FDR? He was more popular than Tammy Bakker at a Maybelline convention. [laughter]
Dorothy: I can't believe it. How on earth did he get here?
Sophia: You know how Alfonso kept talking about his old vaudeville partner? It turns out it was Bob Hope. Isn't that a kick?
Bob Hope: You know, since Ron and Nancy moved back to California, we've had earthquakes almost every day. Do you think God could be a Democrat? [applause] But earthquakes don't bother the president. If Sam Donaldson couldn't shake him up, nothin' will. [laughter]

Quote from Sophia
Sophia: This Rose/Bob Hope thing reminds me of a similar situation back in my village. Florence Pontevecchio used to fantasize that Alberto Bolognese was her brother.
Blanche: Who was Alberto Bolognese?
Sophia: He was the boot maker in the village.
Dorothy: What's so special about that?
Sophia: Did I say it was special? I said it was similar. I'm having a cup of tea, talking. The two of you have a look on your face like you paid for Phantom of the Opera tickets. Excuse me for not being Somerset Maugham. Better I should say nothing from now on and sit here like a pincushion!
Quote from Blanche
Blanche: I still can't believe that Rose caused all this trouble.
Dorothy: Unbelievable.
Blanche: This whole fantasy about Bob Hope is sick.
Dorothy: Sick.
Blanche: I mean, if she's gonna have fantasies, they ought to be the normal, healthy kind, like sweaty Argentinean cowboys whipping things while they ride naked on the back of Brahma bulls.
Dorothy: I have to remember to stop using your towels.
Quote from Rose

Rose: I was just thinking, it's too bad we're not back in St. Olaf.
Blanche: Why? They have a lot of talent back in St. Olaf?
Rose: No. It's lunchtime there. I could really go for a smoked kipper hero.
