Rose Nylund : Like oysters.

Blanche : [Blanche's first ever lines] Dorothy, can I borrow your mink stole?
Dorothy : It's Miami in June - only cat's are wearing fur!
Rose Nylund : Are you going out?
Dorothy : No, she's going to sit here where its 112 degrees and eat enchiladas.
-
Sophia : [Late at night, Sophia walks into the living room] Oh its you!
Rose Nylund : Sophia, did we wake you?
Sophia : I heard voices, I thought there were robbers, so I hid my jewels. Now I can't remember where.
Dorothy : Ma, you don't have any jewels!
Sophia : Thank God because I can't find them.
-
Rose Nylund : We were all so lonely and then by a miracle we found each other.
Dorothy : Rose, we both answered an ad to share Blanche's house that we found in the supermarket. It was not the resurrection. It is hardly a miracle.
Rose Nylund : To me it was, because we're happy.

Rose Nylund : [Dicussing sleep] Charlie on the other hand moves all night long - his side of the bed looks like a murder took place.
Dorothy : Rose, Charlie is dead.
Coco : Why tell her?
Dorothy : Coco, its been 15 years.
Rose Nylund : I know he's dead - I'm not crazy. I just like to speak of him in the present tense, sometimes, it makes him seem closer.
Coco : That's fine Rose, you do that!
Dorothy : Sure Rose - set a place at the table!
-
Blanche : I just wonder what my husband, George, would make of me and Harry.
Dorothy : Well, if he was alive he probably would not like it. But since he's dead I don't think it poses a problem.
Blanche : Well, I just want him to know I'm happy, but I could never be as happy with Harry in the same way - as I was with him.
Rose Nylund : He knows, Blanche, he knows. Your thoughts and feelings go right to him, you can communicate directly from your heart, can't you, Dorothy?
Dorothy : Oh don't ask me - I can't get through to New Jersey with MCI.
