Goofs

In # 3 of Season 6, Dorothy is tying Stanley's bow tie and says she remembers the last time she did that: the night of their senior prom. However, in # 22 of Season 6, the entire storyline is about Dorothy being reunited with John Naretti: the guy who stood her up for her senior prom. See more »

Quotes

John: It was an enchanting evening, Dorothy.
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Some Enchanted Evening. That was the theme of the prom that we never got to.
John: A little more romantic than the theme they had tonight.
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Hm. "Wear a Condom" is more than a prom theme. It's sort of become the school slogan.
