Quotes 

• [Blanche and Rose are concluding an afternoon of clothes shopping] 

  Blanche Devereaux : I just haven't found a thing today. I don't look right in American clothes. I have a more European body.

  Rose Nylund : Oh, in Europe do they all have big butts, too?

• Blanche Devereaux : [Rose comes in carrying a large box]  What's in the box, Rose?

  Rose Nylund : Oh, brochures for the Be a Pal program. I'm mailing them out.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Oh, how does that work?

  Rose Nylund : Well, you just put 'em in an envelope, and stick a stamp on 'em...

• Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : [trying to explain why she is wildly attracted to plain-looking Eddie]  Honey, there is more to Eddie than meets the eye. But the only thing we have in common is under the sheets.

  Rose Nylund : What's under the sheets?

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : [barely believing Rose's naïveté]  His cappuccino maker. Sex, Rose, I am talking sex. We don't go to dinner, we don't go to the movies, we just go to bed, and it is *terrific*.

  Rose Nylund : All that, and cappuccino, too?

• Eddie : [Dorothy's blind date finally arrives]  Hi, I'm Eddie.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : [to the girls]  It took a computer to come up with this?

  Eddie : [Eddie explains that he's been in a long depression, and is still not completely recovered]  After twenty-five years of marriage, my wife, Roberta sent me a Dear John letter.

  Rose Nylund : That's terrible. Married twenty-five years and she doeesn't know your name is Eddie?

• Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Well, there's not that much to tell. Eddie took me to the restaurant where he met his ex-wife Roberta.

  Rose Nylund : Well, I'd think going to that restaurant would just remind him of her.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : It did, especially since she owns it, runs it, and calls the place "Roberta's"! As she was seating us, he begged her to come back to him. And after he had wept over his crab cakes, I begged her to come back to him.

  Rose Nylund : So I guess you're not going to see him again?

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Oh yes! Yes, I will!

  Blanche Devereaux : WHAT?

  Sophia Petrillo : Listen, Pussycat. It's been a long time, since you'd been out on a date. And it's quite possible you can no longer judge a good one from a bad one. So let me be of help: Bad date, Dorothy! Bad, bad date!
