• Blanche : I haven't told you my wonderful news: my mother-in-law died.

  Rose Nylund : Oh, I'm sorry.

  Blanche : Well, I'm not. I loathed Mama Devereaux, and the feeling was entirely mutual. 'Til the day George died, she always introduced me as his 'first wife'. I just hope the old witch went slowly.

  Jamie : [later her brother-in-law Jamie arrives to settle Blanche's part of the estate]  Fortunately the business with the Will shouldn't take long.

  Blanche : I shouldn't think so. I'd hardly expect Mama Devereaux to leave me the family silver.

  Jamie : Well, as her executor I had to go over her Will with her, the list of beneficiaries. Well, she was pretty far gone by then, but when we got to your name, she kept repeatin' in this weak, little voice, "I want her to have it. I want her to have it."

  Blanche : Well, I am surprised.

  Jamie : She was talkin' about her disease.

• Rose Nylund : [the girls are discussing Blanche's notion of marrying her late husband's brother, Jamie]  I remember back in St Olaf, when Inge Engstrand married her late husband's brother, Lars, and the whole town was shocked. 'Course, that could have been because at the time Inge was on trial for her late husband's dismemberment.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : It was probably a factor.

  Rose Nylund : The trial went on for months. Attorneys' fees cost her an arm and a leg.

  Sophia Petrillo : [impatiently]  Rose, get to the part where they steal the brain out of the dead body and sew it into your head.

  Rose Nylund : So anyway, she got a suspended sentence.

  Sophia Petrillo : [incredulous]  They let her go?

  Rose Nylund : No, they hanged her.
