Betty White: Rose Nylund

Quotes 

• Rose Nylund : Dorothy Zbornak, you're a barbell!

  Dorothy Zbornak : That's a DUMBBELL, you twit!

• Rose Nylund : Dorothy, you owe me an apology. Your ad's right here.

  Dorothy Zbornak : [mortified]  Oh, Rose, this is the Personals column.

  Rose Nylund : So what?

  Dorothy Zbornak : So what? You put an ad in the Personals column that said I will do anything for eight dollars an hour? It's right under an ad that reads, 'History professor seeking non-smoking Oriental woman who is into Wesson Oil and bears a resemblance to Florence Henderson.'

  Carl : Is that one signed "Doug"?

  Dorothy Zbornak : Yes, it is.

  Carl : I know Doug. He's a sick, sick man.

  Dorothy Zbornak : [as she is hustling Toto out the door]  I'm very sorry for this mix-up. Good-bye!

• Carl : [Just as Dorothy is saying goodbye with apologies to a priest she mistakenly thought was responding to her ad, Carl comes barging through the front door and approaches Rose]  Hi, here's my eight dollars. Let's get started, Dorothy.

  Rose Nylund : Oh, I'm not Dorothy, she is.

  Carl : [takes a good look at Dorothy]  I'll give you four dollars. Let's get started.

  Dorothy Zbornak : [outraged]  How would you like your rear end kicked across the street?

  Carl : [ecstatic]  Oh, great! Here's the other four dollars.

  Blanche Devereaux : [Dorothy throws Carl out, just as Blanche is coming home]  Girls. Girls, there is a bus-load of Greek sailors out front. They all want to know how many drachmas there are in eight dollars!

• Dorothy Zbornak : Rose, I have read every want-ad in the paper. Mine is not here. Are you sure you dropped it off at the newspaper office?

  Rose Nylund : Dorothy, you told me exactly what you wanted me to do a dozen times. Any idiot could have done it.

  Dorothy Zbornak : I know, honey, but you were the only one going downtown.
