Quotes
-
Blanche Devereaux : Caroline, you think your daddy has become involved too soon after your poor mother's demise, but, honey, a year is more than respectable. Why, I've had men call me when their wives were in intensive care!
-
Blanche Devereaux : You can tell a lot about a man from the way he drives.
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : You know, that's true. Sometimes, Stan couldn't even get the key in the ignition.
-
Rose Nylund : You're not having company, are you, Blanche? Because I want everything to go smoothly for Miles and Caroline. It's a big step meeting a man's family.
Blanche Devereaux : [Blanche's scheme is to meet men by telling them she's selling a Mercedes she doesn't have] Don't worry about it, honey, men'll be over, but they'll be in and out all day.
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Don't say it, Ma.
Sophia Petrillo : I have to, Dorothy. At my age, when you don't say it, it can back up on you and come out some other way.
Blanche Devereaux : [later] My first appointment's here, right on time. I've been out there watchin' him. He's been lookin' at the car and smilin'. I feel just like a fisherman with a new lure.
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : You catch 'em, you clean 'em.
Blanche Devereaux : [James is her first "customer" for the phantom Mercedes, as Blanche goes into action] You stay right there, and I'll get the keys.
James : How much mileage has she got on her?
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : [Sophia looks to Dorothy for a comeback to this tempting line] Let's just say that she's been around the block.
James : [Blanche comes back with the keys, and they go outside] I can't believe anything that beautiful is so cheap.
Sophia Petrillo : [she covers Sophia's mouth, until Blanche and James are gone] I'm crampin' up!
-
Rose Nylund : [distraught] I tried so hard to impress Caroline.
Blanche Devereaux : I remember when a woman had to impress a man's *parents*, not his *children*. Oh, Mama Devereaux was fit to be tied when George introduced me. She wanted her boy to marry a *virgin*.
Rose Nylund : How did she know you weren't?
Sophia Petrillo : Maybe it was all the 'honk if you had Blanche' bumper stickers.
