Quotes 

• Magda : Now the way it was we knew what to do. When there is one road no one gets lost.

  Rose Nylund : Not so, back in St. Olaf...

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Rose, is this a story about getting lost?

  Rose Nylund : Yes.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Well don't tell us, show us.

• Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [talking about sisters]  When I was a little girl I had this doll, Mrs. Dolittle, and Gloria was not supposed to touch...

  Sophia Petrillo : Do we have to hear that damn Mrs. Dolittle story again? So your sister broke your doll, it was over 50 years ago.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : It was very traumatic. It was my favorite doll.

  Rose Nylund : I have a sister story...

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : And she didn't just break it, she fixed it so the eyes would never close again. She made Mrs. Doolittle look like a morphine addict!

• Rose Nylund : [Stan's communist cousin is making Rose uncomfortable]  This is terrible. I was raised to *hate* communists. I remember in the early '50s, when McCarthy came to St Olaf to speak in the town square. I was never so moved by a public speaker, although some people thought he was a puppet for the Right Wing. No, wait, that was Charlie McCarthy.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : I'd have put money on that.

  Rose Nylund : But still, St Olaf's town motto was, 'Better Ned than Red'. Ned was sort of the town idiot.

  Sophia Petrillo : When, on your days off?
