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!

• Dorothy Zbornak : [Stan is telling the Girls about his latest invention]  What is it this time, Stanley? Whoopee cushions for the hearing-impaired?

  Stan Zbornak : It's not a novelty, it's a Zbornie!

  Rose Nylund : What's a Zbornie?

  Dorothy Zbornak : I put up with it for thirty-eight years, Rose, you don't want to know.

  Stan Zbornak : It's not that, Dorothy, I just used the same name.

• 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.
