Rue McClanahan: Blanche Devereaux

Quotes 

• Rose Nylund : [Talking about raising children]  The hardest part for me was explaining to my Kirsten the difference between boys and girls. I knew the time had come but I kept putting it off. Finally I decided it was time to take the bull by the horns.

  Blanche Devereaux : So you told her?

  Rose Nylund : No - I took the bull by the horns, turned him around and showed her what makes a bull a bull.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : You are kidding, Rose?

  Rose Nylund : No! That's how my mother taught me.

  Blanche Devereaux : Honey, didn't that give you a false impression about... what a man would look like?

  Rose Nylund : It sure did! Can you imagine my surprise on my wedding night with Charlie?... Boy, that bull would have been jealous.

• Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : [Rose is upset about work and Dorothy is upset after falling out with Michael]  Now look - Rose, stop whining! You know that you're going to have to speak to your boss about your workload. Wallowing in self pity is not going to help!

  Blanche Devereaux : [walking in]  How are you feeling, Dorothy?

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : My life is falling apart and now Rose is bothering me!

• Blanche Devereaux : [about Michael]  You just did what you had to!

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Blanche, knowing that does not help! I am going crazy - wondering where he is - I mean he could be sleeping under a pier for all I know - or in some flophouse or out on the street!

  Sophia Petrillo : [walking in]  Michael called - he's staying with Stan.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : OH GOD, IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN I THOUGHT!

• Rose Nylund : [Exhausted, doing research for work]  I have to make sure this watch really is waterproof.

  Blanche Devereaux : [Pitying Rose's stupidity]  Honey, why don't you take the watch off your wrist?

  Rose Nylund : Come on Blanche, then I'd have my hand in a bucket of water for nothing.

• Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Stanley, why are you here?

  Stan Zbornak : Michael and I made plans to see each other tonight, y'know, a real father-son evening where we can rap, and share our feelings, and create good vibes.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : [mocking]  I can dig it. Where are you taking him?

  Stan Zbornak : The Hacienda Hut. Thought I'd show the kid the town, give him some quality time. Maybe it'll make up for never teaching him how to ride a bicycle.

  Blanche Devereaux : Stanley, how come I've never seen you at the Hacienda Hut?

  Stan Zbornak : I never have to stay long. I'm a chick magnet. That's why they call me Mr Lucky.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : You mean for thirty-eight years I was Mrs Lucky, and never knew it? Uh, what about the, uh, present Mrs Lucky. Does she know what a maggot you are?

  Stan Zbornak : Magnet, Dorothy. *Magnet.*
