OSM Mom July 8, 2014 Share July 8, 2014 Dorothy - "It was a little like having sex with Stan. I was nervous before, it felt pretty good during, and I'm thrilled that I'll never have to do it again." 2 Link to comment
truthaboutluv July 8, 2014 Share July 8, 2014 (edited) Dorothy: "You know ma, it'd be really nice if you were a little supportive." Sophia: "Please, I've always been supportive. Didn't I support you when you wanted to run away to Canada to escape the draft?" Dorothy: "Ma, that wasn't me, that was my brother Phil." Sophia: "Oh right, I got confused, he was wearing your dress. Okay how about when you were unmarried and pregnant?" Dorothy: "Ah yes, I remember your exact words - get out of my house, you are dead to me, I have no daughter named Dorothy." Sophia: "Sure, in that tone of voice it sounds bad. How about now, didn't I come to live with you in your twilight years?" Dorothy: "Ma, these are your twilight years." Sophia: "Are you kidding, I should be dead, these are your twilight years." Edited July 8, 2014 by truthaboutluv 1 Link to comment

Blakeston July 8, 2014 Share July 8, 2014 "You know, Reverend, it's always puzzled me...why didn't Mary and Joseph call ahead for hotel reservations?" *Dorothy throws down ladle* I'm convinced that's the single dumbest thing Rose said over the course of the entire series. 2 Link to comment
Cobalt Stargazer July 8, 2014 Share July 8, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure about that, @Blakeston. In the episode where Rebecca gets artificially inseminated (ewwwwwwwwwww.....) Rose starts to tell this story about a woman from St. Olaf whose husband went away to fight in a war, and she got pregnant while he was gone. "Everyone said she was fooling around, but she told me that his sperm must have swum across the ocean, and somehow ended up in St. Olaf." Blanche, who's sitting next to her, says,"And what did you think, Rose?" in this voice that says that no matter what Rose says she'll believe it because it couldn't be any more ridiculous than anything else she's ever said. Edited July 8, 2014 by Cobalt Stargazer Link to comment
ShadowSixx July 8, 2014 Share July 8, 2014 Possibly the dumbest thing Rose said was: Dorothy: I completely cut off his sex. Rose: You mean it grows back?! Her working in a hospital just made that question worse. Link to comment
truthaboutluv July 8, 2014 Share July 8, 2014 Two of my favorite moments: From the episode when Dorothy finds out Sophia has been hoarding money and threatens to cut her off - Sophia: "You can't do that Dorothy. That money is for my old age." Dorothy: "Old age. You don't even leave fingerprints anymore." My sister actually used that one on an older guy at her office who was teasing her on her birthday when she turned 30. I cracked up when she told me the story. Other favorite is from the pregnant Mary episode which I know is not a lot of people's favorite but it did give us Merill and Blanche and this exchange: Dorothy: "Ma what does Fred's dog have to do with this?" Sophia: "Because it's a known fact that animals take after the traits of their master." Dorothy: "Oh come on Ma, that's a myth." Sophia: "Oh yea, then why does your brother Phil's dog like to run around on it's hind legs wearing a pink tutu?" Dorothy: "Oh come on Ma, Phil would look pretty stupid doing that himself."

Cobalt Stargazer July 9, 2014 Share July 9, 2014 "Rose, please try to put yourself in my position." "Apparently, I'm not limber enough." The way Rose looks at Dorothy as if to say, "Was that a good one?" is what makes it gold. 2 Link to comment
ShadowSixx July 9, 2014 Share July 9, 2014 Blanche: It's just two little words, but they are the hardest two little words in all the whole world for me to say. Rose: Not tonight. Rose: Tell her Clayton. Clayton: I will Rose. Blanche: Tell me what? Clayton: Well, I ran into Rose at the park...and uh Blanche: And? Clayton: And we had a long talk, and uh.. Blanche: And? Clayton: And...we slept together tonight. Rose's face was the best facial expression she gave throughout the whole series. The look of absolute horror on her face. Blanche: Dorothy, guess what I have under my robe? Dorothy: That guy from the circus? Blanche: No Dorothy, my new swimsuit. I'm wearing it to entice the muscular young men who are coming over to install my hot tub. Would you like to see it? Dorothy: Is it a two piece? Blanche: Yes. Dorothy: No. Dorothy: Oh Rose, how can I look at that face and lie...it's mine. Blanche: I don't know what to expect of myself with this thing in me. I just keep remembering how you're not suppose to overload electrical outlets. Rose: Maybe you shouldn't make love when you're wet. Blanche: That child over there is trying to steal my daddy. She ain't nothing but a tick on a slow moving hound dog. Sophia: Your such a good daughter, take a lesson pussycat. Nurse Defarge: Your pussycat too? Dorothy: No I'm pussycat one, you are pussycat two. Nurse Defarge: Ah good morning ladies. Rose: Not for your nursey-nurse-nurse-nurse. Rose: And you call yourself a teacher. It's people like you that are responsible for all the evil going on on this planet. Dorothy: I guess I had that coming. Blanche: Alright Dorothy, fire her. Dorothy: Why should I fire her? Blanche: You're the meanest. Rose: That's not true Blanche. Dorothy just looks the meanest. We hired Marguerite together, we fire her together. Dorothy: Thank you Rose and by the way you look the dumbest. Dorothy: What would you say about me? Blanche: Oh Dorothy come on. Dorothy: I told you, you could tell me. Blanche: Oh alright. I would say, I always felt safe, having you in the house. And I would say I always enjoyed talking to you whenever I came home from one of my numerous dates. And I would say I always looked up to you, like an older sister. Dorothy: Thank you Blanche. Oh and I forgot one thing, I would also say you're fat. Sophia is continuously coughing Rose: Dorothy should I get Sophia a glass of water? Dorothy: No Rose, you should sit there and watch her hack herself to death. Rose: Are you sure? Dorothy: Get the water! Dorothy orders Rose to get out of the kitchen and Rose accidentally hits Sophia in the nose. Sophia: Oh my nose. Rose: Oh Sophia, I'm sorry. Sophia: Great I always wanted to have a nose like Joe Frasier. Dorothy: Ma, how long were you listening at the door? Sophia: I wasn't listening at the door. Dorothy: Yea, then why was your face pressed against the crack? Rose: That's what the crow said. Dorothy: GET OUT!!! Dorothy: If I'm not mistaken, all the waiters were whistling at me. Blanche: Maybe they never saw anyone eat a steak that fast. Dorothy, Sophia, and Rose are sitting at the table and Blanche comes in the doorway behind Rose. Blanche: I'm nothing but a cheap, tawdry, slut. Rose: Don't tell me, is it Blanche? The audience laughing and Dorothy's expression is what made it so funny. Rose has a towel over her face and Blanche is ready to show Rose how "Blanche's beauty treatment" is gonna make her feel like a new woman. Dorothy comes in the kitchen and stands behind Rose. Rose takes the towel off and Blanche holds up a mirror. Rose: Oh my god, I look horrible! Oh Dorothy it's you. Rose: Blanche, call the police, I just saw a big ugly man with a limp walk by my bedroom window. He was wearing Dorothy's coat...[realizing it's Dorothy]...and it was dark outside and I tend to over dramatize. Blanche: You too?! Dorothy: He asked me last Thursday. Blanche: Well I am stunned. Rose: I'm relieved. Blanche: Relieved? Rose: Yea, the woman you saw in those horrible drawings must have been Dorothy. 1 Link to comment

Flirting is part of my heritage. Rose: What do you mean? Dorothy: Her mother was a slut too. Blanche: I felt like I was when I was a virgin. Sophia: Oh you mean the feeling isn't gonna last long. Blanche: Are you implying that I lost my virginity at an early age? Sophia: I'm just saying you're thankful Jack & Jill Magazine didn't have a gossip column. Dorothy: Ma! Sophia: Please Dorothy, I'm on a roll here. Blanche: I'm sorry Sophia, but I'm not gonna let your skepticism ruin my entire evening. Mel and I were meant to be together. Sophia: I wish I could say the same for your thighs. Gosh I'm hot tonight. Blanche: I'm not gonna stand for this. Sophia: Take it Dorothy. Dorothy: But I'll bet ya you'll lay down for it.
