[reading Dorothy's "bio" at the bachelorette auction] "If Dorothy's not off winging her way to Molokai to assist Father Damien in his work with the lepers, you can find her hang-gliding high above the Florida Keys."
Rose... where did you get that?!
From your mother. Before she and I talked, I wasn't aware of any of it. [continues reading] "She's a scratch golfer who, under President Jimmy Carter, served as the United States Senate Majority Whip. And she likes to read."
[to Blanche] I figured, close with the truth. It'll kind of anchor the rest.
I want to thank you all for holding this event on a night when my hang-glider is in the shop, and Congress is in recess, and the lepers are on Geraldo. Go ahead Rose.
Right Dorothy. All right, now let's start the bidding at five dollars.
Five dollars!
[entering lobby] One hundred dollars.
Stanley! What are you doing here?
I'm buying a date with the woman I love.
Oh geez! Not in front of people!
One hundred and ten!
[to Blanche, about the bidder, who is a man they all "bought" for Dorothy] What the hell is he doing? Didn't you give him a limit?
Stan Two hundred!
Security! Have this man removed! He's a lonely male impersonator.
Two-ten!
[jumps up from table] What?! What is WRONG with you? The woman's been with lepers!
Three hundred!
Stanley stop it! I am not going out with you. I would rather be bound and gagged, and left on an anthill covered with honey.
FOUR HUNDRED!
Four-ten!
SOLD!
Dorothy, I say that.
Five hundred!
SOLD!
[pointing to Rose] SHE says that!
Rose, do something!
SOLD! Sorry Dorothy, that's $500 for the Children's Hospital. I guess dreams really can come true.
