Quote from Rose in The Stan Who Came to Dinner

Rose: She's just a little edgy because we've been taking care of you for two months, you've been eating us out of house and home, and making life generally unbearable.
Stan: That's not a very charitable view to take. What are you making for lunch?
Rose: You listen here, mister, we've been more than charitable. In the village my ancestors came from, if a man was bad company, unable to provide for his family and not much fun under the old yak skin, the women would leave him out in the snow to die.
Stan: Tough village.

 ‘The Stan Who Came to Dinner’ Quotes

Quote from Rose

Rose: Well, sometimes people need help making decisions. That's the way it was with Thor, our pet lamb. From the time he was first separated from his mother, he wouldn't eat, he wouldn't sleep, he wouldn't frolic with the other sheep.
Dorothy: You're slipping into verse, Rose. Keep it simple.
Rose: Daddy got the idea of taking this old inner tube, wrapping it in wool and putting it next to Thor's bed at night. We named it Brun Hilda. And believe it or not, it did the trick. Thor felt like he was back with his mother and he began eating and sleeping...
Dorothy & Blanche: And frolicking.
Rose: Yes. But then one day, Thor got a little playful and accidentally bit Brun Hilda. The poor little guy just stood there, watching his mother deflate before his very eyes. He was never the same after that. Oh sure, once in a while he'd "baa" at the back tires of a parked car. But for the most part, he just kind of kept to himself.

Quote from Blanche

Dorothy: Blanche, I'm sorry, but I think I have to stay and talk to Stan. I'm sure you can get somebody.
Blanche: Dorothy, I must confess I have mixed feelings about calling anybody. There's something strangely provocative about this evening. Oh, of course, I would never have a relationship with both twins at the same time. That would be obscene. Unless, of course, it was tastefully done.

Quote from Sophia

Rose: I wish I could, but I'm driving the bookmobile for the Grief Center tonight.
Dorothy: Oh, I thought you do that that during the day?
Rose: I usually do, but I got tied up at work and I didn't have time and now I feel so guilty. There are so many depressed people with nothing to read. Of course, when I'm depressed, I can't read. I knit. Maybe I should drive a knitmobile.
Sophia: Maybe she should drive a nitwitmobile.
