Grace Sheffield quotes from The Nanny

Fran

Look, Gracie! Santa took a bite out of the cookies we left him.

Grace

I didn't know Santa wore red lipstick.

Fran

The man gets out of the house once a year. Live and let live.

Grace

How about severe depression brought on by feelings of inadequacy and fear of death?

Fran

Gracie, where do you come up with these things?

Grace

Usually during hopscotch.

Grace

You have no idea how cruel children can be.

Fran

Honey, I've had this voice since the second grade. Need I say more?

Fran

What did I tell you about snooping?

Grace

That there should always be a lookout.

Fran

Good! Go wait in the hall.

Don't you have a big reunion tomorrow night?

Fran

[Swooning] Yeah...

Well, I'm the hombre who's taking you.

Fran

Oh, my God! This is amazing! This is like a dream! How could this be?

Grace

We told him how desperate you were.

Fran

[Still ecstatic] Oh, THANK YOU!!

Fran

Honey, to you, Brighton's an obnoxious brother. But to other little girls, he's 79 pounds of pure stud muffin.

Grace

Ew!

Fran

I felt just like my mother when I told her I lost my virgin... [Sees Grace] Airline tickets.

Grace

Did they give you another one?

Fran

No, honey. When you lose that ticket, it's non-refundable.

Niles

Unless you get engaged to Prince Charles, then it miraculously reappears.

Fran

[chuckles] I love her. You know, I've seen her in person. She looks much younger.

Grace

Fran, the storm is getting worse. How is Santa going to deliver all the presents?

Fran

Gracie, the man is bigger than Dom DeLuise and can fit through a chimney. Believe me, he can get through a blizzard.

Brighton

Gracie, I'm in so much trouble. I lost Yetta at the movies.

Grace

How could you lose a person?

Brighton

I don't know. One second, she's talking to a cardboard cutout of Walter Matthau and the next second she was just gone!

Grace

Did you ask the other cutouts?

Brighton

This is serious! There is a woman loose out there who is asking where Chucky's Bride is registered.

Brighton

Niles, do you know what Mom and Dad have been up to?

Niles

Um... They're trying to co-produce a new project.

Grace

How? Dad's gonna let Fran handle his business?

Niles

[After a long pause] Eat your eggs.

Grace

Daddy you know what I think your problem is. You feel guilty about leaving Fran on Hanukkah.

Oh I do not

Grace

So do

Do not

So do

Do not, Gracie look Fran said she understood this is business and sometimes business has to come first

Grace

She's rehearsing us until two in the morning!

C. C.

It's because you stink!

C.C., what do you expect when you choose "Antony and Cleopatra" for a grammar school?

How hard is it to play a pushy broad who runs around half-naked with too much makeup on? [To Grace] Have you learned nothing from your mother?
