I don't want a TV crew comin' in here, messin' up my kitchen, settin' up all that video equipment!
Well, how about shooting it in your bedroom, Blanche? The equipment's already set up there!
“High Anxiety” · Season 4, Episode 20
In this episode: Dorothy Zbornak (6), Blanche Devereaux (6), Sophia Petrillo (6), Rose Nylund (3)
I got the director to change his mind.
[excitedly] Oh, then he's comin' back here to shoot the commercial?
No, he doesn't wanna get anywhere near Rose. He's gonna shoot it at his studio.
But if he shoots it at his studio, then I get screwed and have nothin' to show for it!
Welcome to show business.
[making malted milkshakes for herself, Blanche and Rose] Didn't I tell you I used to work in a malt shop when I was in high school?
Soda jerk?
No thanks, I'll have a malted.
[rolls the dice, moves her game piece and picks a card from the center of the gameboard] How odd, I can either buy the library or the phonebooth in the center of town. I'll buy the library.
If I were you, I'd buy the phonebooth.
Why?
People use the phonebooth.
That's because you're hooked on these Rose. But honey, there's a place for people with this kind of problem.
Please, what is she gonna do in the NBA?
[when Rose says she'd be too embarrassed at a rehabilitation center] Was Betty Ford embarrassed? Was Liza Minnelli embarrassed?
She should've been. Did you see Arthur 2? [makes a face]
Sorry Dorothy. There are two things a Sicilian won't do: Lie about pizza, and file a tax return.
Well, Rose, I might not have any idea what it's like to feel the kind of dependency you do, but, there was a time in my life when I tried quittin' somethin'.
Blanche, you don't mean...
Sex, Dorothy. I tried quittin' sex.
Obviously you fell off the wagon.
And onto a naval base!
[on why her attempt to give up sex failed] Barely a month had gone by before I started feeling those awful stirrings and urges. I was like a spring bloomin' peach bud just ripened to dewy fruition, waitin' to be plucked by the first handsome man to come my way!
You were looking for some nookie.
Exactly.
Before my mama sent me off to beauty camp, I was a pencil-thin, flat-chested, four-eyed nerd!
I don't believe it. You, pencil-thin?
