Lily quotes from The Golden Girls

Blanche

You still watch television?

Lily

Well, I don't exactly watch it. I just pretend it's radio.

Sophia

[about television] We don't exactly watch it either, with our crummy TV. We get two channels at once. For a while there I thought Benson was having an affair with Miss Ellie.

Lily

Girls, I'm feeling a little chilly. I think I'll go and get my sweater.

Rose

Oh, no, I'll get that, I'll get that for you.

Lily

Oh, Rose, for heaven sakes, I can find my own way. [the girls frantically move all the boxes from her path] I know you're trying to help, but if I could pilot my own plane cross-country during a storm, I can certainly find my way across the room! [reaches the hallway, turns to face the girls] There. Now, do you see that I don't need anybody's help?

Lily

[holds up a pink dress] Do you see this dress, Rose? It's my favorite.

Rose

It's awfully pretty.

Lily

It's my favorite because it's the only one I can clearly remember. I remember what it looks like, and I remember what it looks like on me, and because of that I wear it all the time!

Rose

You'll adjust...

Lily

I don't want to adjust! I want to be the person that I used to be!

Rose

But you have to face the truth, you need help! Now you can deal with it, but you can't do it all by yourself!

Lily

[crying] Rose, all my life I've done everything I wanted to do, nothing's ever stood in my way before. For the past six months that's how I've been trying to deal with everything! I thought that I could overcome this thing by myself! I guess that deep down inside I thought I could make it go away. But I can't. Every morning when I wake up it's still there, and that terrifies me! Rose, I do need your help. That's why I came to Miami, to ask you to come home with me! Oh Rose, please come home with me! I can't make it by myself! [Lily and Rose embrace as Lily sobs]
