Quotes 

• Dorothy Zbornak : I can never make my lasagna as good as Ma's. She says that's because I don't sing to it. She sings opera to her lasagna, except during the holidays when she does Nat King Cole.

• Rose Nylund : [everyone is relieved as Sophia improves after a rough night in the hospital]  What about you, Dorothy? You must be exhausted being here by yourself all night.

  Dorothy Zbornak : No, I wasn't alone. Stan came by and stayed with me. Brought me food, held me, showed me that special part of himself.

  Rose Nylund : Right there in the waiting room?

  Dorothy Zbornak : Not that part, Rose.

• Rose Nylund : [Sophia can't stop coughing]  Dorothy, should I get Sophia some water?

  Dorothy Zbornak : No, Rose, you should stand there and watch her hack herself to death.

  Rose Nylund : ...really?

  Dorothy Zbornak : GET THE WATER!

  Blanche Devereaux : *I* am calling the doctor.

  Sophia Petrillo : I can't breathe!

  Dorothy Zbornak : Blanche, forget the doctor, call the paramedics!

• Rose Nylund : Would it be too much to ask for a group hug before we go?

  Dorothy Zbornak : Oh honey, no.

  [the girls and Stan hug] 

  Dorothy Zbornak : Hands ABOVE the waist, Stanley!

• Dorothy Zbornak : You should've seen the way Stan took control, this is not the same man who screamed 'paint my toenails! We've just invaded Korea!'
