Dorothy Zbornak quotes from The Golden Girls

Dorothy

Oh I HATE reunions! Everyone so dressed up and fake, pretending to be someone they're not. Why can't people just be themselves?

Cindy Lou Peeples?

Dorothy

Tommy Lunt?

[the two act as if they ARE the people in question, embrace and walk off together] AAH! AAH!

Rose

My great-grandfather once removed his neighbor's appendix, and he wasn't even sick!

Dorothy

Why would he do that?

Rose

Let's just say they were playing poker and the stakes got a little high.

Blanche

[on studying old yearbooks to fit in at the class reunion] We have to know all the basics, you know, like, oh, senior class president, quarterback of the football team, class slut.

Dorothy

Blanche, how do you tell a slut from a yearbook?

Rose

Oh - how do you tell a slut from a yearbook? Uh... you don't have to buy a yearbook dinner!

Blanche

Rose...

Rose

You can take a yearbook home to your parents!

Blanche

Rose!

Rose

There's nothing wrong with having a yearbook on the coffee table!

Dorothy

Rose, this isn't a riddle.

Rose

Well, make it one! I had three good answers!

Dorothy, will you marry me for real?

Dorothy

For real? Oh, Lucas. Yes. Yes!

Dorothy

Well...

Blanche

Well...

Rose

Yea...

Sophia

...I guess this is it.

Dorothy

[nodding] Right. Listen-

Blanche

Dorothy, you don't have to say anything.

Rose

What can you say about 7 years of fights and laughter...secrets...cheesecake...

Dorothy

Just that...it's been very...it was been an experience that I'll always keep close to my heart. [sobbing] And that these are memories that...I'll wrap myself in when the world gets cold and I forget that there are people who are warm and loving and...

Blanche

We love you, too...[girls embrace and cry]...You'll always be a part of us.

Dorothy

Your friendship was something I never expected at this point of my life, and I could never ask for a better surprise

Blanche

[sobbing] That's how we feel too.

Dorothy

I have to go.

Rose

Dorothy......is this goodbye?

Dorothy

[walks to the door, looks at the girls and nods]...I love you, always [leaves room while the girls stare at the door. Dorothy re-appears from the door] Oh god I love you! [girls embrace again]

Blanche

[sobbing] Oh Dorothy...Dorothy...

Dorothy

[sobbing] Lucas is waiting [heads to the door again, looks at girls] You're angels...all of you [leaves room again while the girls stare at the door again. Dorothy comes out from the backyard hall] OH GOD, I'LL MISS YOU!!! [girls embrace once more] Listen I have a flight... [heads for the door once more] ...you'll always be my sisters... [sobbing] always [leaves room for good while the girls stare at the door again then at the backyard hall and at the kitchen door. The three remaining girls embrace, sobbing]
