“If At Last You Do Succeed...” · Season 6, Episode 3

In this episode: Dorothy Zbornak (5), Rose Nylund (5), Blanche Devereaux (4), Sophia Petrillo (3), Stan (2)

You have a museum [in St. Olaf] where children go to learn about cheese?

Hey, it's better than them learning about it in the streets!

[on a St. Olaf plot to end World War II] The plan was, we'd drop these highly trained attack cows behind enemy lines. Problem is, it wasn't until they were airborne that we realized, cows can't pull a ripcord!

Oh, Sophia, no bingo tonight?

I'm staying home to try to recapture my lost youth. ... I see you haven't got it.

Stan, I am not driving around with license plates that say POT HEAD.

That's just an abbreviation. I didn't have room for the whole 'potato head.'

[about Stan's latest invention] What's a "Zborny"?

I put up with it for thirty-eight years, Rose. Trust me, you don't want to know.

[The girls and Stan are watching a commercial for his patented potato opener on TV]

[on TV] Now, you can finally open your baked potato without burning your hands!

[watching wide-eyed] No, it can't be done!

[on TV] Yes, it can be done!

Now, look, we can't go on living like this with Blanche and Rose not speaking to each other. So, whatever the results of the secret ballot, we go with it. No more arguments. Agreed?

All right, yes, yes.

Okay, here we go. [reads votes] "Split the money." "Let Blanche keep it." "Give it to the old lady."

Yes!

"Split the money." Well, Blanche, looks like the splits have it.

Big Daddy was right. Women should not be allowed to vote.

If it's any consolation, Blanche, when I wrote "Give it to the old lady," I did mean you.

[about how Stan's changed] This is not the same man who screamed "Paint my toenails, we've invaded Korea!"

You're not gonna believe this, but I have a St. Olaf story about this.

I believe you. I just hate you.

Well, Gunilla Bjorndunker, St. Olaf's tallest woman - of course, nobody ever made fun of her for that - anyway, when Ol' Space Needle was in high school, she drank some Cherry Herring and made love in the back seat of a Fjord Fjairlane. [notices puzzled looks from others] Local car.

Oh.

And she... got in trouble, if you know what I mean, Dorothy. Ganakkadopenschpingel.

She knows what you mean.

Anyway, her boyfriend, Yutz Hernsberg, St. Olaf's only bald high school student, had to marry her.

Well, why would she marry a guy like that?

Because I was young! [catches herself] I- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Rose, this is your story. Go- go on, go on.

Well anyway, after 38 years of marriage and a painful divorce, he finally came back, having invented Hernsberg's Press-On Warts.

Who bought those?!

Hags, mostly. Don't you see, he was successful, and he wanted Gunilla back.

Well, what happened to her, Rose?

Skylab fell on her.

What is the POINT of this story?!!

Be thankful for your health!
