Quotes 

• Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : [after setting the record straight about Mrs Garrett]  Well, that's about it.

  Edna Garrett : Tootie...

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Blair, do you know that secret you told Jo about Roger and it was only between the two of you? Well, it was between the three of us.

  Blair Warner : [Both Blair and Jo stand up]  You sneaky, rotten little blabbermouth!

  Jo Polniaczek : Yeah. I got bad rapped on account of you, you little creep! I'll get you for this.

  Blair Warner : Not if I get her first!

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Gee. They're taking it better than I thought.

• Blair Warner : Really, Mrs. Garrett, if I don't spend some money soon, I'll pull all my hair out!

  Jo Polniaczek : Terrific! We can finally find out what color the roots are!

• Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Monopoly, Nancy? I'll start you with an extra ten thousand.

• Blair Warner : I wouldn't. But I need something sneaky done, and you're the best. Now promise me you won't tell.

  Jo Polniaczek : Look, where I come from, you squeal, and they ship your tongue to Cleveland.

  Blair Warner : [smiles]  Great. Now listen. Saturday night in New York, I'm gonna sneak out of the hotel.

  Jo Polniaczek : Big deal.

  [but outside the door, eavesdropping Tootie is surprised] 

  Blair Warner : If Mrs. Garrett comes around, you have to cover for me.

  Jo Polniaczek : Why? Where are you gonna be? At the bank, visiting your money?

  [chuckles merrily] 

  Blair Warner : You don't need to trouble yourself with the details.

  Jo Polniaczek : Then I don't need to trouble myself with a cover for you either.

  Blair Warner : All right. I'll be out with Roger.

  Jo Polniaczek : [surprised]  Roger?

  Jo Polniaczek : You mean the Roger that's going steady with Nancy?

• Blair Warner : [changing subject]  Uh, as I was saying, Halston really has a terrific line.

  Jo Polniaczek : Yeah, I've been out with him. You really can't believe a word he says.
