Season 2, Episode 2 - "Ladies of the Evening"
TRUE OR FALSE: Rose lost the St. Olaf Butter Queen Pageant because she failed the oral butter quiz over a trick margarine question.
False. She lost because her butter churn jammed.
Rose: Butter Queen was our town's highest honor. From the time I was born, my folks groomed me for it. Singing lessons, dancing lessons, junior butter pageants. For 16 years, my entire life revolved around butter.
Dorothy: You were very fortunate. So many of us wasted our youth.
Rose: The time came for the pageant. I was incredible! I showed poise in the evening gown competition. I was brilliant in the oral butter quiz! They couldn't even trip me up with a trick margarine question. That evening, butter was spelled R-O-S-E!
Dorothy: Rose, you're embarrassing yourself. Please don't go on.
Rose: I have to, Dorothy. I've kept these bitter butter memories too long. As the pageant drew to its frenzied finale, there I was alongside the other two finalists, churning my guts out! When all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, my churn jammed.
Ladies in the jail cell: No!
Rose: Yes! And just like that, it was over. I'd lost. It was the biggest disappointment in my life. It was small consolation to find out years later, there had been churn-tampering involved.
