Quotes 

• Ron : [to the studio audience]  Any other questions? Ah! Here we go!

  [Runs over to Sophia] 

  Sophia Petrillo : This is directed to Dorothy's lover: Do people treat you differently because you're a lesbian?

  Blanche Devereaux : [obviously really embarrassed]  Well, most people don't know.

  Sophia Petrillo : Really? I would've guessed right off. Next question to Dorothy: What kind of pain and embarrassment has this lifestyle caused your mother?

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : I really don't know, but... I'll ask her tomorrow when I visit her at... THE HOME.

• Blanche Devereaux : [In a fake friendly voice]  Rose, could I see you for a moment?

  Rose Nylund : [Rose fakes wondering if Blanche meant her, in order to stall for time. Approaches Blanche and Dorothy]  You're mad aren't you?

  Blanche Devereaux : Rose Nylund, every man I know is watching this show. This *live* show. This live show about "Lesbian Lovers of Miami".

  Rose Nylund : Every man you know is watching? Hey, we could beat "The Price Is Right"!

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Rose, we can't kill you here because there are cameras.

• Blanche Devereaux : Listen, I'm not gonna do this.

  Rose Nylund : Blanche, if you leave, they'll fire me.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Good!

  Rose Nylund : If I lose my job, I won't be able to do anything but... sit home and tell St. Olaf stories!

  [glares menacingly at Dorothy and Blanche] 

  Blanche Devereaux : [gasps]  Blackmail! Oh, very smart.

  [backs onto the studio couch with Dorothy] 

  Rose Nylund : Hey, they don't call me "Harold Goldstein" for nothing.
