Ma, you can't sleep either?
No, I'm sleeping so good I thought I'd come try it in the sink.

In this episode: Dorothy Zbornak (6), Rose Nylund (5), Sophia Petrillo (5), Blanche Devereaux (2)
I did learn that Baked Alaska can actually be baked locally.
Rose, I have an even bigger scoop for you. Mars Bars are made right here on earth.
[on the charity banquet] I told the manager, if he let us have that room, I would persuade my sister to sing for free in his piano bar!
You mean your sister Virginia?
No, I mean my sister, Miss Susan Anton!
Blanche, how could you tell such a lie?
He didn't believe me for a minute! He told me I was much too attractive to be related to her. But he gave us the room anyhow because he said he liked my moxie!
And I bet you liked showing it to him!
Blanche, sometimes you act just like a woman I knew in St. Olaf!
Please, no one say "what woman?"
[describing a nightmare she had to Dorothy] I'm at the banquet. It looks beautiful, I look beautiful, everyone looks beautiful. Suddenly Charlton Heston walks in dressed like Moses, and he tries to part the dessert table. And when that doesn't work, he rounds up all the guests and leads them to the lingerie department of the nearest J.C. Penney's, where everybody starts making fun of the fat lady underwear. What do you suppose it means?
That you spent too many years sleeping on curlers.
You know, sometimes when people are under pressure, they sleep to escape.
Dorothy's father used to do that. Unfortunately it was usually during foreplay.
Ma, the man is dead.
Longer than you think.
[on the difference between Jake and her "ideal" man] But I'm not going to let that discourage me from finding my Mr. Right, and I'm not going to compromise my standards either. I am simply going to look high and low, far and wide, and never lose heart, for I know one day my prince will come. [leaves]
Now what was that supposed to mean?
I wasn't paying close attention, but from what I could make of it she's going to sleep with that little black guy Prince.
