Blanche Devereaux : [after learning her father, Big Daddy, had an affair with her Mammy] This changes everything I ever thought about Big Daddy. I always assumed that he and Mama had a wonderful sex life. I walked in on 'em once when I was a little girl. There was all this huffin' and puffin' and high-pitched sounds, and then suddenly Big Daddy shouted out, "GLORY!", and they both lit up cigarettes. I vowed, then and there, I would *never* do anything so repulsive.
Rose Nylund : So what happened?
Blanche Devereaux : Oh, Bobby Joe Porter explained to me that the cigarette part was optional.
Sophia Petrillo : Remember that one time you walked in on me, Dorothy?
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Oh, yeah. I still remember what you said: "Mommy's sick, get help."
Rose Nylund : I would have *died* if I had ever caught my parents having sex.
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : What, you never walked in on them?
Rose Nylund : Once, but they were only playing leapfrog.
