Quotes
-
Blanche Devereaux : Are you tellin' me that St Olaf printed its own War Bonds?
Rose Nylund : Yes. Oh, we were very patriotic. In late '42, we wanted to fund the development of a top-secret weapon that we were sure would end the war: attack cows.
Blanche Devereaux : Take me now, Lord.
Rose Nylund : No-one expects trouble from a cow. The plan was, we would drop these highly-trained, killer cows behind the enemy lines. It wasn't 'til they were airborne that we realized, a cow can't pull a ripcord. Well, the project wasn't a total failure. If there's one thing the Germans hate, it's a mess!

Blanche Devereaux : They're not gonna redeem the bonds?
Rose Nylund : Oh, they want to, but the city would have to liquidate all its assets. St Olaf would be bankrupt.
Blanche Devereaux : And this affects me how?
Rose Nylund : Don't you understand? If we take that money, there won't be any left for the police cars, and the fire trucks, and the Children's Cheese Museum.
Blanche Devereaux : You have a museum where children go to look at cheese?
Rose Nylund : Hey, it beats learning about it in the streets.
