Reading the Small Talk thread reminded me how many great quotes there are.  Whenever I read them, I hear them in the girl's voices.  They are all just so memorable.  

Here's one that often pops in my head when someone greatly annoys me.  "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! Drop dead!"  It's not even that funny, it just fits so many things.  And I always hear Blanche's voice with it.

I also like "Maybe I am just a mean old lady like the paperboy said."
and "Beat it, you 50 year old mattress!"

And so many more.

"I see little balls of sunshine in a bag!"

[LilWharveyGal]

I frequently want to respond to frustrating people with, "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, drop dead!" and "Eat dirt and die, trash!"  Usually I can restrain myself, but it makes me feel better just to think it in a Southern accent.

Sophia to Blanche; "Beat it you 50-year old mattress" and then later

Blanche: "I going to go get in the bath with just enough water to cover my perky bosoms"

[Bastet]

"I'm nobody's little girl anymore".

I like that line, and when Dorothy says, "If she dies, I'll be an orphan" when they think Sophia is having a heart attack.  Losing parents may be the natural way of things, especially at their age, but it's also one of the most profound losses in life.  In both those scenes, the show clearly illustrated that.

[sgittinger]

I will say that when Grandma died last fall, and I went to her funeral, I had to bite my tongue to keep from asking if Grandma needed anything for her mantle, or if she was going to be on her mantle.

Dorothy: Floozy.

Blanche: Tramp.

Dorothy: I, I am a tramp? Blanche, have you heard the latest ad campaigns? "Join the Navy, see the world, sleep with Blanche Devereaux!" "Join the Army, be all you can be and sleep with Blanche Devereaux!" The Marines are looking for a few good men who have NOT slept with Blanche Devereaux!

With Mickey Rooneys' death, I thought about his episode and this exchange between Sophia and Rose:

Rose: (Knocking on Sophia's door) Sophia?
Sophia: I'm not in. Wait for the beep and leave a message. Beep!
Rose: Hi, this is Rose...
Sophia: Rose, shut up and get in here!
