Speaker B
It's a defense mechanism. I guess it's to hide my feelings when I'm deeply upset.
Speaker A
Oh, well, I understand, in that case, I won't take it personally.
Speaker B
Thanks, you human mattress.
Speaker B
You're too competitive, it's always been your worst feature.
Speaker B
Actually, your ears are your worst feature, but competitive is right up there.
Speaker B
Jealousy is a very ugly thing, Dorothy, and so are you in anything backless.
Speaker B
Oh, Dorothy, can I make a little suggestion when you go for your makeover?
Speaker C
Sure, what is it?
Speaker B
Don't expect a miracle.
Speaker B
I've never seen you look so beautiful.
Speaker A
Oh, thanks, Ma.
Speaker B
Who's the designer? He deserves a Nobel Prize for miracles.
Speaker B
I don't see Blanche.
Speaker D
Oh, she said she'd be over right after her hair appointment.
Speaker D
She wanted to look her best for Charmaine's big day.
Speaker A
Blanche is handling this a lot better than I would.
Speaker A
I would kill Gloria if she ever wrote about my sexual escapades.
Speaker B
You'd kill your sister over a pamphlet?
Speaker A
Oh, no, I can't see myself swinging my hips and wildly gyrating my pelvis.
Speaker A
I am not interested.
Speaker B
And the world heaves a collective sigh of relief.
Speaker B
My daughter may be no spring chicken and her jaw might crack when she chews.
Speaker B
And she may have noticeable trouble digesting raw vegetables, but one thing she's not is mental.
Speaker A
Thanks, Ma.
Speaker B
I raised her, and I was the one who got her through that awkward period, the 50 toughest years of my life.
Speaker C
And I knew you'd be special.
Speaker A
And I didn't disappoint you.
Speaker B
A little.
Speaker A
Come on now, would it hurt to spend a little time with your daughter?
Speaker B
That remains to be seen.
Speaker B
Strictly hypothetical, let's say a man wants to take out a date.
Speaker A
Why isn't that hypothetical?
Speaker B
Check your calendar, pussycat.
Speaker A
Now, Ma, remember, don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Speaker D
I think I crossed that line when I got a date.
Speaker A
Oh, Dorothy, a man called for you while you were out.
Speaker B
Finally, now we can break out that bottle of champagne we've been saving.
Speaker B
Arrested for prostitution, I can't believe it.
Speaker A
Oh, Sophia.
Speaker D
Sophia, we're innocent.
Speaker B
I know that, I can't believe these dumb cops would think anyone would pay money to sleep with you.
Speaker B
Who are you?
Speaker D
It's me, Blanche.
Speaker B
You look like a prostitute.
Speaker D
I'm going to have to meet men lying down.
Speaker B
I thought you did.
Speaker D
I take very good care of myself.
Speaker D
I treat my body like a temple.
Speaker B
Yeah, open to everyone, day or night.
Speaker D
My life is a romance novel.
Speaker B
Your life is a sports page.
Speaker D
Oh, please, everybody says what a giving person I am.
Speaker B
She's talking about when you're in an upright position.
Speaker A
How are you insulting me?
Speaker B
It's a defense mechanism. I guess it's to hide my feelings when I'm deeply upset.
Speaker A
Oh, well, I understand, in that case, I won't take it personally.
Speaker B
Thanks, you human mattress.
Speaker A
You would have made a very good psychologist.
Speaker B
Great idea, pussycat, give Blanche an office with a couch and a license to charge by the hour.
Speaker D
Sophia, there's something I don't understand, now you're always a bit ornery, unpleasant, impolite, even downright mean, that's part of your charm.
Speaker B
Thank you, you bed hopping relic.
Speaker D
Oh my goodness, we have company.
Speaker D
I'm just so embarrassed to be seen in this old thing.
Speaker B
Don't worry, Blanche, the dress covers most of it.
Speaker D
We were always so much alike.
Speaker D
And so close, just like Siamese twins.
Speaker B
It's a shame when they separated you, you got both butts.
Speaker A
Stop it.
Speaker D
Stop it.
Speaker A
I cannot stand it anymore.
Speaker B
You know what I can't stand anymore, that phony accent of yours?
Speaker B
What is this, Designing Women?
Speaker E
Hello, Blanche, how are you?
Speaker D
You don't have cataracts, you tell me.
Speaker B
Beat it, you 50-year-old mattress.
Speaker D
Why, thank you.
Speaker A
Miserable old Blanche, Blanche, you know the rules.
Speaker A
When one of you is out with Fidel, the other one does not interfere.
Speaker D
My apologies.
Speaker D
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go take a long, hot, steamy bath.
Speaker D
With just enough water to barely cover my perky bosoms.
Speaker B
You're only going to sit in an inch of water?
Speaker F
Why don't you just kiss and make up?
Speaker A
Why don't you just blow it out your ditty bag?
Speaker F
I wonder if jewelry comes from Jewish people.
Speaker F
You little fools, the jeweler was Jewish.
Speaker F
Jeweler, Jewish, I wonder if there's a connection.
Speaker B
I think there's a connection between your brain and wallpaper paste.
Speaker B
Rose, what the hell are you doing?
Speaker F
I'm making omelets for us without yolks so we don't get too much cholesterol.
Speaker F
And that leaves us all these yolks which I hate to throw out, so I thought we'd give them to the homeless.
Speaker B
Fine, give them egg yolks, they'll die of heart attacks, they won't need homes.
Speaker B
Your heart's in the right place, Rose, but I don't know where the hell your brain is.
Speaker G
Rose Nylund.
Speaker B
No, and if I start acting like her, pull the plug.
Speaker F
Dorothy, you're the smart one, and Blanche, you're the sexy one, and Sophia, you're the old one, and...
Speaker F
I'm the nice one.
Speaker F
Everybody always likes me.
Speaker B
The old one isn't so crazy about you.
Speaker F
You're moving, Rose.
Speaker B
Too bad, this would be touching if I liked you more.
Speaker F
I know if he got to know me, he'd like me.
Speaker B
Why, I got to know you, I don't like you.
Speaker F
You just say that.
Speaker B
Repeatedly.
Speaker B
Go ahead, stand up and say it, my name is Rose and I'm an idiot.
Speaker F
Are you all right, Sophia?
Speaker B
Why does everyone keep asking me that, I'm okay.
Speaker B
I'm fine.
Speaker B
I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker F
You know, I saw a lot of this where I worked at the Grief Center.
Speaker F
You're angry about Phil's death and that's normal.
Speaker F
But you shouldn't be angry with Angela.
Speaker F
You know, I think you haven't cried because you haven't accepted his death yet.
Speaker B
Thank you, I've never been psychoanalyzed by a dipstick before.
Speaker B
The man in that box was a bum.
Speaker B
A scoundrel, a cheat and a liar.
Speaker B
But there was another side to him.
Speaker B
And it was beautiful.
Speaker B
He awakened feelings in me I haven't felt in 35 years.
Speaker B
We used to hug and kiss and hold hands.
Speaker B
And it was, it was nice.
Speaker B
He made me feel attractive and desirable again.
Speaker B
He probably made the rest of you feel that way too.
Speaker B
Looking down at this kennel club that was no small accomplishment.
Speaker H
This nectarine is beautiful.
Speaker H
I never saw a more perfect piece of fruit.
Speaker B
No, then try kissing my behind.
Speaker B
It's a real peach.
Speaker I
Hi, it's me, Stan.
Speaker B
What do you want?
Speaker I
I have a surprise for Dorothy.
Speaker B
What, now that you're off the blood pressure medicine, it's working again?
Speaker J
Hi, Sophia.
Speaker J
Remember me, Stan's brother, Ted?
Speaker J
I danced with you at their wedding.
Speaker B
Where were you when they got divorced, I was looking for someone to dance with then.
Speaker A
Come on in, Stanley, we were just talking about you.
Speaker I
Well, I thought I felt my ears burning.
Speaker B
Maybe that cheap toupee you're wearing retains heat.
Speaker I
Dorothy, baseball was meant to be seen from the bleachers.
Speaker I
And small, intimate parks with real grass, if there's anything I hated, it's artificial turf.
Speaker B
That never stopped you from growing it on your head.
Speaker I
It's me, Stan.
Speaker I
Wait, let me rephrase that, it's me, the new Stan.
Speaker A
What are you talking about?
Speaker I
Don't you notice a difference, can't you see the glow, can't you see the light radiating off of me?
Speaker B
Sure, it's the porch light glaring off your head.
Speaker I
Morning.
Speaker A
Okay, I know what it looks like.
Speaker A
And frankly, that's exactly what it is.
Speaker B
You had to bring him home, you couldn't find a drunken sailor on a street corner.
Speaker A
Honey, you okay?
Speaker D
Oh, why do these things keep happening to me?
Speaker D
And why do I let them keep happening?
Speaker D
I'm just tired of getting all dressed up, looking gorgeous, going out.
Speaker D
Only to lose out in the end.
Speaker D
On the other hand, I am dressed up and I do look gorgeous and.
Speaker D
It is Gringo night at Hernando's Hacienda.
Speaker D
Oh, but I don't think I'll go, I'm just so vulnerable.
Speaker D
Does anybody know how to say vulnerable in Spanish?
Speaker D
Oh, never mind.
Speaker D
I'll say it with my eyes.
Speaker B
I said it before and I'll say it again, sluts just heal quicker.
