Phyllis Lindstrom quotes from The Mary Tyler Moore Show

Phyllis

Believe it or not, I too once had a feeling of inadequacy.

Rhoda

Oh, no. We're not going to hear about your honeymoon again, are we?

Phyllis

[to Mary and Rhoda] I thought I'd see how you swingin' singles spend your evenings!

Rhoda

They're not much different than yours. We sit around at night wondering what it'd be like to have a happy marriage.

Phyllis

[disdainfully eying an unkempt Rhoda, who is standing in Mary's doorway in her robe] Yes, well...uh...I always said looks aren't important when you have good clothing sense.

Rhoda

Phyllis, I'd like to tell you something.

Phyllis

What?

Rhoda

It is so hard for me to tell you this.

Phyllis

What is it, Rhoda? You can tell me.

Rhoda

[leans over and kisses Phyllis on the cheek] I'm extremely contagious.

Mary

Phyllis, I didn't say he doesn't want to talk about marriage. I said he doesn't seem to ... want to talk.

Phyllis

Mary, when they don't seem to want to talk, marriage is what they're always not talking about.
