Fran Fine quotes from The Nanny

Fran

Oh, please! I come from Flushing. There is nothing these kids can throw at me that I haven't seen before. Except maybe their trust funds.

Fran

You can't fire me! I quit! [walks out the door, comes back in] No, you fired me. That way, I can collect unemployment.

Fran

[after an argument with Mr. Sheffield] Can you believe he just sent me to my room? He is so adorable sometimes.

Fran

I'm just trying to expose the children to other cultures. We order Chinese food, they learn how Jewish people eat.

Fran

[About her uncle] Jack was always trying to one-up my mother. We bought a Skylark, he bought an Eldorado. We moved to Flushing, he moved to Florida. I'm telling you, she could never win. Oh yeah, once, she grew a moustache before him.

Fran

He is truly sensitive. When he cries, snot comes out of his nose.

Fran

Aw he must've been so cute in his little crib, with his lil' silver pacifier in his little three pieced diaper

Fran

Maggie, shut your mouth. We are not a PEZ dispenser.

Fran

Maggie has to learn to handle 14-year-old boys so that when she grows up, she can know how to handle full grown men who, when you think about it, are a lot like 14-year-old boys.

Fran

Shister Meffield, I love you.

Fran

Too bad we didn't have this conversation in the garden. The plants would have loved the fertilizer.

Fran

(to Yetta) What are you thinking?! This is the Sheffield's house! NO ONE EVER HAS SEX IN THIS HOUSE!

Fran

I tell ya, these personals are such a joke. Look at this: "Single White Female". That could mean anyone from Madonna to Janet Reno. Here's one: "Exotic Good Looks". I'm seeing a depilatory problem... Here's a gem. "Young bi-couple digs snakes. Contact Feoni. P.O. Box 666. No weirdos."

Fran

I can't wait to hit the buffet tables in Atlantic City. He's got a safari jacket with 40 pockets in it. We won't have to order room service.

Fran

[suspiciously] Hello?... Ma, how did you find me here?... Well what's the emergency?... Ma, Mike Douglas isn't on Channel 4 because they cancelled him 22 years ago! Would you spring for a new TV Guide?
