Rose, could I see you for a moment?
[walks over] You're mad, aren't you?
Rose Nylund, every man I know is watching this show, this live show, this live show about lesbian lovers of Miami.
Every man you know is watching? Hey, we could beat The Price is Right!
Rose, we can't kill you here because there are cameras. Now how did this happen?
Oh, I don't know. They just said they wanted two women who loved each other and slept together.
We DO NOT sleep together!
Yes, you did! Last month, whe-, when Blanche was having her room repainted because the plaster behind her headboard all fell out!
Listen. I'm not going through with this!
Blanche, if you leave, they'll fire me!
Good. My mother is here. My teacher is here. Good!
If I lose my job, I won't be able to do anything but... sit home and tell St. Olaf stories!
Blackmail! Oh, ho, ho, ho, very smart!
Hey, they don't call me "Harold Goldstein" for nothing!
[aside, to Blanche] Maybe if we don't say anything. We're not on camera that much, I mean, we can't let Rose lose her job.
[The program begins]
We're back. Let's meet our panelists... Dorothy, a lesbian. Blanche, another lesbian. And Pat and Kathy, image consultants.
How come THEY'RE not lesbians?
We don't believe in labels.
Oh - I see we have a question from the audience. Yes, sir?
Are there male-female roles in the relationship?
Well, I AM the little homemaker if that's what you mean. [laughs nervously]
[pissed] Now, wait a minute, just w...
...and I take out the garbage.
Fascinating. Any other questions? Ah, here we go.
[pointing at Blanche] This is directed to Dorothy's lover. Do people treat you differently because you're a lesbian?
[laughing nervously] Most people don't know.
Really? I would've guessed right off. Next question to Dorothy. What kind of pain and embarrassment has this lifestyle caused your mother?
[menacingly] I really don't know but, I'll ask her tomorrow when I visit her at... THE HOME.
No more questions.
