Episode 6 - Feelings
Blanche: Oh, Rose, honey, did you make the call?
Rose: Blanche, I appreciate you giving me the dental examiner's number and everything, but when I thought about actually filing a report...
Blanche: Rose! People like your dentist count of their victims to back down. Honey, you have to have courage!
Dorothy: Rose, this is not unusual! In most cases, when a person is molested, it's by a friend or a relative, someone they know.
Rose: But there are other considerations. What if I were wrong? The last time I had courage, I confronted Lukan Ulfnooner, St. Olaf's moodiest plastic surgeon.
Dorothy: Thank you very much, Rose. That was a great story.
Rose: Nice try, Dorothy. Anyway, Dr. Ulfnooner did some work on my mom, and do you know who she came out looking like? Raymond Massey!
Dorothy: Rose, that's terrible!
Rose: Well, that's what I thought when I accused the guy of malpractice and ruined his business. Unfortunately, little did I know...
Blanche: Know what, Rose?
Rose: That was the look she was going for!

Rose
Episode 7 - Zborn Again
Rose: Oh, what a day! I wasn't able to get any work done today because of that new girl, Abby. I mean, she's constantly talking to me all day long! And she never listens to me. Do you know what it's like to be totally ignored?
Sophia: So how was your day, Rose?
Rose: The truth is, she's a sweet girl looking for a friend. And we do have a common bond. She used to be a newscaster. Now she's just an assistant like me. So there's this cognitive dissonance between her actual and her ideal self which causes her to be practically dysfunctional. Of course, I'm no psychologist.
Blanche: No, you're a nitwit. How come you know those words?
Dorothy: Blanche, come on, it's not nice calling her a nitwit, but since the cat's out of the bag, how do you know those words?
Rose: I guess it's from reading the American Journal of Abnormal Psychology. It's published in St. Olaf, you know? In fact, my uncle Gunter used to be the editor.
Sophia: And what were you, the centerfold?
Blanche: I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe you have ever read a scientific journal.
Rose: Believe what you want. See if I care. Hypersexual bitch.

Rose: What was the best sex you ever had, Blanche?
Dorothy: Oh, way to go, Rose. Look, Blanche, it's late. There's only one cheesecake left, so let's make menopause the cutoff point.
Blanche: Best sex...oh, it's just so hard to rate these things. There's degree of difficulty, style points, choice of music. Did they land on their feet during the dismount? Different people have different strengths. It's just impossible to tell, but anything over a 9 is excellent.
Rose: Over a nine?!
Blanche: Points, Rose. Points!

Rose: Oh, my God!
Dorothy: Oh, come on, no matter what - oh, my God! "Does you face look like this? Do your hands look like this? You need Ponce de Leon Anti-Aging Cream." [laughs] I'd sue.
Blanche: Dorothy Zbornak, how could you? Oh, look! They have airbrushed liver spots all over us!
Dorothy: Tell me about it. You guys look like you should be barking on the front seat of a fire engine [laughs]. I really would sue.
