Mary Jo quotes from Designing Women

Bernice

Hi everybody! I'm sorry I'm late, but I couldn't resist finding out what 'Live, Totally, Nude' was all about!!

Mary Jo

Well what is it all about?

Bernice

Listen sister, I'm not telling. If you want to know, you go pay $17.50 for a bad Mai Tai, and then we'll talk. Dear me — what is that awful smell? Has somebody been spraying for bugs?

Mary Jo

No, that's some of Carlene's home-made potpourri, we all won some as a door prize.

Bernice

Well, you need to take that and get the hell outta here...it stinks!!

Mary Jo

(Riding on a mechanical bull) "Hey Anthony, wadda ya say we try out this bondage wheel? go on, get up there on it!"

Anthony

"I don't think so Mary Jo. Black people aren't too fund of bondage. We think that is reluncdant"

Carlene

I just can't believe you! I thought you were up here nursing a broken heart... but here you are hokey-pokeying with some showgirl!

Anthony

(looking over at the sleeping girl) Who the hell is that?

Mary Jo

Oh c'mon, Anthony! It's your little friend from the Follies Bergere!

Anthony

But how the hell did she get in my bed?!

B.J.

Boy... if you can pull that one off you're my first choice for this year's Academy Award.

Anthony

Look... I'm not kidding!! I don't have any idea how she got here! Oooh... my head.....

Bernice

You know, this girl is really a snoozer. I think that we should get her up and slap her around and make her tell us what happened.

Julia

Bernice. Please, You're not gonna slap anybody's face."

B.J.

In an impulsive moment of stupidity I've just made myself the victim of public humiliation and ruined my entire life.

Carlene

B.J., what did you do?!

Mary Jo

She's changed her hairdo.

B.J.

How'd you know?

Mary Jo

Because that's just the kind of thing that women do when they come up against a milestone event. They either sell their house or decide to become a therapist . . . or go completely crazy and change their hair. The scarf was a dead giveaway.

B.J.

Well, thank you, Mary Jo. I came in here feeling like I was stupid. Now I know it's worse . . . I'm a stupid cliche.
