Kim Fields: Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey

Quotes 

• Edna Garrett : What is going on here?

  Tootie Ramsey : You're not turning this brat into bratwurst!

• Tootie Ramsey : [a loud whine of a knife sharpener is heard]  Hear that? She's sharpening her knives again. I'm convinced that woman's possessed!

  Blair Warner : Tootie.

  Tootie Ramsey : Don't Tootie me! Poor Mrs. Garrett's a textbook case of possession! She's got all the symptoms: sleeping in the presence of a cold evil spirit, she's forgetful, she's lying, she's even got that glint in her eyes!

  Jo Polniaczek : Oh Tootie will you calm down?

  Tootie Ramsey : How can I calm down when poor Mrs. Garrett's in trouble? There must be something in one of my books to help her out.

• Mr. Bigley : Unexplained things started happening like Gertrude's bedroom, the one in the back, got much colder than the rest of the house.

  Tootie Ramsey : Hey that's Mrs. Garrett's bedroom. Remember she complained how cold it was last night?

  Jo Polniaczek : Oh big deal, her bedroom faces north, a cold room is not that strange.

  Mr. Bigley : That's true, that's true, until the people who live in that bedroom star to lose their minds. The way I heard it, there's been five over the years, all women, all crazy.

• Tootie Ramsey : Mrs. Garrett, I thought you were Grizzly Gertie with that knife!

  Edna Garrett : Tootie, why were you sleeping in that chair?

  Tootie Ramsey : I was getting nervous, I wanted to sleep closer to the door.

  Natalie Green : Mrs. Garrett, your joke worked a lot better last night.

  Edna Garrett : What joke?

  Natalie Green : Oh come on, last night you were standing over my bed at 3 A.M., sharpening that butcher knife, doing a terrific Grizzly Gertie. "Helga, you will now learn some respect, ja?"

  [laughs] 

  Natalie Green : Good joke.

  Edna Garrett : I wasn't in here at all last night, and I'm in no mood for jokes!

• Blair Warner : Natalie, you were kidding about Mrs. Garrett coming in here last night, weren't you?

  [Natalie shakes her head] 

  Blair Warner : Well then you were dreaming?

  Natalie Green : Hey anything's possible, but when I dream somebody's standing over my bed, it's going to be Rick Springfield.

  Tootie Ramsey : Guys, this is serious. What if Grizzly Gertie's spirit really is affecting Mrs. Garrett?

  Blair Warner : Tootie, you've been watching too many horror movies.

  Tootie Ramsey : This is nothing to do with movies! If Natalie was dreaming last night, what's Mrs. Garrett's slipper doing in here?

• Edna Garrett : Tootie, why were you sleeping in that chair?

  Tootie Ramsey : I was starting to get nervous, I wanted to sleep closer to the door.
