- Blanche Devereaux: Bobby Lee has asked for my hand in marriage... And I accepted.
- Roland Wilson: You did?
- Blanche Devereaux: I did!
- Rose Nylund: I don't know what to say.
- Sophia Petrillo: I do. Congratulations!
- [everyone enthusiastially agrees]
- Blanche Devereaux: Wait a minute, wait, there's more. He also asked me to have his baby. And I said 'Yes' to that, too.
- [stunned silence]
- Roland Wilson: You did?
- Blanche Devereaux: I did!
- Rose Nylund: I don't know what to say.
- Sophia Petrillo: I do. You're old!
- Rose Nylund: Sophia!
- Sophia Petrillo: What? She's a fossil.
- Blanche Devereaux: I am not!
- Sophia Petrillo: Oh, puh-leeze.
- Rose Nylund: Come on, Blanche. Sophia exaggerates, but she does make a point. I think it may be too late in your life to have a baby. I mean, don't you think maybe that ship has sailed?
- Sophia Petrillo: [slowly, emphatically] THAT SHIP HAS SUNK!
- Sophia Petrillo: [Sophia comes into the lobby, distraught] It's gone. I can't believe it. Thirty years, and now it's gone.
- Chuy Castillos: Let me guess: your short-term memory.
- Sophia Petrillo: My short-term memory? Please! My short-term memory!
- Sophia Petrillo: [quietly, to Blanche] Who's the Mexican?
- Blanche Devereaux: [looking forward to her date with Bobby Lee] I have a feeling he's going to ask me a 'special question' tonight.
- Chuy Castillos: Oh, yeah? I assumed you were goin' out with him because it's your birthday tomorrow.
- Roland Wilson: Oh, wait, so that's why Rebecca's comin' in.
- Blanche Devereaux: [annoyed] Yeah, that's right. Daughters just love to come watch their mothers get older.
- Rose Nylund: [patronizing to the hilt] Oh, honey, I'm sure she's coming to watch you get fatter, too.
