Season 5, Episode 6 - Dancing in the Dark
After 5 consecutive Fridays without a date, Blanche is determined to break her dating slump. She devises a plan to visit a location teeming with eligible men—a place so obvious, she's surprised she hadn't considered it sooner. Where is it?
The hardware store
Dorothy: Blanche, I didn't know you went out. You coming back from a date?
Blanche: You know, Dorothy, sometimes you can be so cruel.
Dorothy: Honey, if you didn't have a date, how come you're so dressed up?
Blanche: Well, I sat down and tried to think of a surefire place to meet men. It was so obvious, I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it before. The hardware store! I mean, hardware stores are alive with sexual energy. Tools, plugs, sockets, nude furniture, dirty stuff like that!
Sophia: Why are you home so early?
Blanche: Well, I saw a very attractive man in power tools. I piqued his interest with the usual hardware questions, "Where does this go? What does this do?" And he followed me to plumbing where I bought a see-through shower curtain.
Dorothy: And, uh, where is he now? Tied to the roof rack of your car?
Blanche: No, there was something about him that turned me off. I think it was the way he cleaned his ears with his keys.
