Skydiving
Episode 13 - The Bloom Is Off the Rose
Rose: There is nothing like skydiving! I mean, soaring through the air, the freedom of it. The whole idea of plummeting toward a pasture and watching a cow get bigger and bigger! It's just something we should do together before we die.

Blanche: I am never shopping at Fiedler Brothers again.
Dorothy: I beg your pardon?
Blanche: Well, it's a little late for that. I've never been so humiliated in my life!
Dorothy: What about the time you lost the key to your handcuffs and had to go with that guy on his mail route?
Blanche: It seems that before I returned the dress, I was so busy putting the price tags back on, I neglected to remove the dry cleaning tag. Not only did they refuse to take the dress back, the store manager had the gall to accuse me of being dishonest.
Dorothy: Oh, that's terrible, Blanche. If I were you, I'd take my dishonesty elsewhere.
Blanche: They made me pay. $300 for a dress I didn't even want!
Dorothy: Blanche, it's only fair. You tried something crooked, and you got caught. Now, you're going to have to scrimp and cut corners, and find some way to pay for it.
Blanche: I already have. The rent increases go into effect tomorrow. All except Sophia.
Dorothy: Why not her?
Blanche: The rent increase was her idea.

Blanche: Listen, if it makes you feel any better, I don't see anything wrong with it.

So whatever I did, or whatever you think I did, I hope it was worth all the pain!
