* Blanche: And, Dorothy, to this day, Ham Lushbough remains the one man in my entire life I could not conquer. The one!* Blanche: Thank you, Dorothy. Honestly, Rose, sometimes it’s like pulling teeth to get a little compliment out of you.
* Blanche: I let this man slip through my fingers once before. I don’t intend to let it happen again.
Sophia: He couldn’t slip through your fingers now if you used a shoehorn.
* Major Barker: What you and Rose Nylund saw was a UFO.
* Blanche: I’m sorry, Ham, but you were just a plaything in my game of sexual conquest. I was gonna use you.
* Ham: Use me, use me.
Synopsis:
The girls are playing cards on the lanai. Sophia gets caught cheating. Rose thinks she saw a UFO fly overhead. Blanche is in a very good mood. She just spoke with Ham Lushbough. She went to college with him. But didn’t get to sleep with him. She plans to fix that. The next evening Rose goes back out on the lanai to try and contact the UFO. When she tells Dorothy she spoke to Major Barker about it, Dorothy is horrified. Blanche is ready for her date with Ham. He arrives. He doesn’t look like he use to. Now he is bald and overweight. He is no longer a handsome heart throb. They leave on their date. A little bit later the doorbell rings again. It’s Major Barker to see Rose. He confirms they saw a UFO. Blanche and Ham are back at the house. Again, he rejects her. Dorothy delivers the news to Rose that they saw a UFO. Blanche joins them on the lanai and tells them about her date. The next evening Blanche goes out with Ham again. She pulls out all the stops. Even gets champagne. He turns her down again. She storms out of the restaurant and has a number of men follow her out. Ham shows up at the door. He explains that he had a night with her and it wasn’t good and didn’t want to repeat that. Blanche tells him that was not her but her sister Virginia. When he learns this he suddenly changes his tune. Now he’s more than happy to go to bed with Blanche. But she is no longer interested. Blanche decides to call Virginia and tell her all about it. Rose and Dorothy are back out on the lanai. There was an article, the UFO was really a secret bomber. Dorothy falls asleep and a real UFO flies overhead. Only Rose sees it.
