Quote from Sophia
Rose: Is anyone as nervous as I am? I can't believe I'm gonna meet the President of the United States. Oh, if I say something stupid, I'll die.
Sophia: Can we make a donation in lieu of flowers?
Quote from Sophia
Agent Bell: And this is Sophia Petrillo.
President Bush: Well, thank you for letting me visit your home.
Sophia: You know, where I come from, when you visit somebody, you bring a little something. A marble cake would've been nice.
Rose: Sophia!
Sophia: What?
Rose: This is the President of the United States.
Sophia: Then he should know better.
Quote from Blanche
Blanche: It's a real pleasure, Mr. President. My! You do have a lot of Secret Service men, don't you?
All: Hi, Blanche.
Blanche: Hi, fellas.
Quote from Dorothy
President Bush: Hello, Miss Zbornak.D
Dorothy: [gibberish]
Agent Bell: Miss Zbornak is a teacher, Mr. President.
President Bush: Do you have suggestions maybe on how we can help with this education thing?
Dorothy: [gibberish] Bush.
President Bush: Well, it's good to know we have your backing. Do you wanna let go of my hand now?
Agent Bell: I think he means right now.
Dorothy: [gibberish]
Quote from Blanche
Rose: I thought everybody'd like some flugelkaka.
Agent Bell: Mrs. Nylund, would you mind answering a few questions?
Rose: As long as it's not math.
Blanche: Here, honey, why don't you sit right down here? He's very nice. Oh, if you need to know anything else about me, um, I have pictures.
Agent Bell: So do we.
Quote from Rose
Blanche: Are you sure you want to go to all that trouble? Honey, he'll just be here a few minutes.
Rose: Are you kidding? This is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me.
Dorothy: More exciting than winning the annual St. Olaf me-and-my-pet look-alike contest?
Rose: Yes. But mostly because I don't have to swim with a duck in my mouth.
Quote from Rose
Agent Bell: Mr. President, I'd like you to meet Rose Nylund.
Rose: Hello, Mr. President. Can I ask you something?
President Bush: Why, sure.
Rose: Is the Oval Office as hard to vacuum as I think it is?
President Bush: Well, I don't know. There hasn't been a Hoover in the White House in, oh, 60 years. [laughs]
Agent Bell: That was a good one, sir.
