Favorite Quotes
+Sophia: I was lookin’ for the prize.Dorothy: Prizes are in cr*cker Jacks.
Sophia: Boy, you forget something new every day, don’t you?
+Dorothy: I don’t want to hear any more about this. You and I can argue till the cows come home.
Blanche and Rose: We’re home.
+Rose: So there’s this cognitive dissonance between her actual and her ideal self which causes her to be practically dysfunctional. But of course, I’m no psychologist.
Blanche: No, you’re a nitwit. How come you know those words?
+Dorothy: How do you know those words?
Rose: I guess it’s from reading The American Journal of Abnormal Psychology. It’s published in St. Olaf, you know. In fact, my Uncle Gunther used to be the editor.
Dorothy: And what were you, the centerfold?
+Dorothy: I mean, I really do want Stan as a friend, but just as a friend.
Sophia: What was that lip lock you had on him the other night?
Blanche: What’s this?
Dorothy: Oh, it’s nothing. I gave him a little kiss.
Sophia: Trust me, that was no little kiss. That was more like a dental checkup. Your whole head was practically in his mouth.
+Sophia: “A little kiss,” she says. The man almost digested her. It was like watching a Nova special.
+Sophia: That’s true, Pussycat. As we say back in Sicily, sticks and stones can break your bones, but cement pays homage to tradition.
+Rose: You know, Abby, something like that happened to me in St. Olaf. Sure, I understand.
Yeah, this is a good time to replace the batteries in your smoke alarm. That’s odd. She hung up.
+Sophia: Maybe someone else can, someone who’s more candid about their feelings.
Blanche: Well, like who, Sophia?
Sophia: Give it some thought, slut puppy.
+Sophia: From now on I’m calling everybody Pussycat. It’s cheaper than buying new glasses.
+Blanche: Dammit, Dorothy, if you’d have sex in public more often, this kind of thing wouldn’t happen.
+Rose: I remember the best sex of my whole life.
Dorothy: Was it difficult to get out of the relationship afterwards?
Rose: No, not really. Poor Charlie died in the middle of it.
+Dorothy: All right, Ma, yes, I admit it. I slept with Stan, and I should be ashamed of myself.
Sophia: Are you this desperate, this pathetic? Have you lost all your pride?
Dorothy: No, but keep it up. We’re getting there.
Sophia: This is unforgivable.
+Sophia: If Abby is the new consumer reporter, doesn’t that mean…?
Rose: She’s also my new boss.
Sophia: Boy, have you got some serious butt to kiss.

Another day and Blanche wants to borrow earrings from Rose. Rose asks her for advice about someone she feels is taking advantage of her. Blanche tells her she needs to speak with her and set some boundaries. Dorothy comes home and asks Blanche for advice about someone having feelings for her. Blanche thinks that Dorothy has suddenly liked her. But in reality she’s discussing Stan. Something gets delivered for Dorothy. Stan sent her steaks.

She will speak with him tonight and clear it up and apologize. The next day Sophia wants to role play with Dorothy to help her practice breaking up with Stan. Stan arrives and announces he bought a car. It’s a 1948 Bullet Nosed Studebaker, just like the one he used to have. She tries to talk to him but he wants to take her for a spin. They wind up parking and making out in the car. Meanwhile, back at the house, Abbey is on the phone with Rose.
