- Rose Nylund: I have to tell you what happened. I died! I died and went to Heaven!
- Dorothy: Rose, honey, you didn't die. You passed out. You hallucinated. Remember that New Year's Eve when you had the three margaritas? Hmm? You thought you were an animated broom in Fantasia?
- Rose Nylund: Look, I know it sounds crazy. That's why I wouldn't tell anybody but my two closest friends. But it's true! It really is! I died and went to Heaven. Well, it wasn't actually Heaven Proper, it was somewhere on the outskirts.
- Blanche: You died and went to a suburb of Heaven?
- Dorothy: This death trip is probably harder on her than it is on us.
- Blanche: What do you mean harder on her? We're the ones doing everything around here while she's out there... eating life!
- Sophia: I ate Life once, not a bad cereal... when we run out of the shredded wheat, let's give it another go.
- Dorothy: Ma, go to bed.
- Sophia: Maybe I'll have some shredded wheat now, that way we'll get to the Life sooner.
