Crazy Continuity
Rose: “Because
tonight is the anniversary of the death of my beloved cat Fluffy.”
Dorothy: “You have
never had cats. You're allergic.”
Ahh, how soon we
forget about poor Mr. Peepers in "The Way We Met."
St. Olaf Vocab
Humpaflagel cake –
a tall Scandinavian cake that's extremely sensitive to noise and
movement
Gügenspritzer – a
Monopoly-like board game that uses St. Olaf geography
That’s What She
Said
Dorothy: “Rose,
spit it out! Right now Rose!!”
Take Me Out to the
Ballgame, Stanley
Rose: “Look, the
truth is I can't stop tonight because I'm afraid. I don't know if I
can.”
Dorothy: “That's
because you're hooked on these, Rose. But honey, there's a place for
people with this kind of problem.”
Sophia: “Please,
what is she gonna do in the NBA?”
Lewd Ladies
Dorothy: “OK. OK,
Ma. Where are you going to shoot this commercial?”
Sophia: “Well, we
discussed many exotic locations, and we settled on right here.”
Blanche: “Oh, now
hold on here. I don't want a TV crew coming in here, messing up my
kitchen, setting up all that video equipment.”
Rose: “Well how
about shooting it in your bedroom, Blanche? The equipment's already
set up there.”
Insult Watch
Dorothy: “One
thing, do I look at my mother or at the camera?”
Sy: “Look at the
camera, and here's a little tip. Look at it like you're making love
to it.”
Sophia: “It might
help if you give her a reference she's more familiar with.”
Product Placement
Dorothy: “This is
Fred Flintstone. His nose is dissolved, but it's definitely Fred
Flintstone.”
Rose: “They're my
vitamins.”
Sassy Sophia
Dorothy: “Ma, what
are you doing out? I thought you were in your room.”
Sophia: “I
whittled a gun out of a bar of soap and overpowered the guards.”
Back in St. Olaf
Blanche: “I didn't
know you'd hurt your back.”
Rose: “Oh it's an
old farm injury from St. Olaf. Oh I'll never forget when it happened.
It was time to plant the crops, but after 17 years of pulling the
plow, poor old Bessie was worn out.”
Dorothy: “Well why
didn't you just get another mule?
Rose: “Oh Bessie
wasn't a mule. She was a big fat lady who pulled farm plows for a
living… Anyway, we had to till the soil, so I volunteered to pull
the plow, and I hurt my back.”
Best of B.E.D.
Blanche: “Barely a
month had gone by before I started feeling those awful stirrings and
urgings. I was like a spring-bloomin' peach bud just ripened to dewy
fruition, waitin' to be plucked by the first handsome man to come my
way.”
Dorothy: “You were
looking for some nooky.”
Blanche: “Exactly.”
Sweet, Single-Digit-IQ Rose
Rose: “I'll never be cured, but I know now I can live without drugs
my whole life, one day at a time.”
Sophia: “I'm just glad you got that monkey off your back.”
Rose:
“I never had a monkey on my back, Sophia. Although, when I was a
child, I had a chicken named Gordon...”
Reel References
Dorothy: “What is
there to be ashamed of? You have a medical problem. Was Betty Ford
embarrassed?” Was Liza Minnelli embarrassed?”
Sophia: “She
shoulda been. Did you see 'Arthur 2?'”
The Boob Tube
Sy: “Miss, this'll
only take a second.”
Rose: “Oh yeah,
It'll only take a second to knock you on your keister, buddy. Now
what's it gonna be?”
Sy: “Look, if I
wanted this kind of abuse, I'd be directing The Roseanne Barr Show.”
Golden Quotes
Blanche: “Dorothy,
I didn't know you were good at making malts.”
Dorothy: “Good?
I'm an expert. Didn't I tell you I used to work in a malt shop when I
was in high school?”
Blanche: “Soda
jerk?”
Rose: “No, thanks.
I'll have a malted.”
Sophia: “Forgive
me, my memory's not as good as it used to be. Nothing on me is as
good as it used to be. Once upon a time, I had a butt you could
bounce a quarter on. Now you could lose a Krugerrand in the creases.”
Dorothy: “Ma, what
are you doing up?”
Sophia: “I've got
an hour till my paper route starts, so I thought I'd do some
chin-ups.”
Blanche: “There
was a time in my life when I tried quittin' something.”
Dorothy: “Blanche,
you don't mean?”
Blanche: “Sex,
Dorothy. I tried quittin' sex.”
Dorothy: “Obviously
you fell off the wagon.”
Sophia: “And onto
a naval base.”
Dorothy: “How odd. I can either buy the library or the phone booth in the center of town. I'll buy the library.”
Rose: “If I were you, I'd buy the phone booth.”
Dorothy: “Why?”
Rose: “People use the phone booth!”
Sy: “Little Slice of Sicily is a family restaurant, and a mother-daughter commercial would be great. How'd you like to be in it?”
Dorothy: “I don't know. I mean I'd have to check my schedule. You see, I'm a substitute teacher.”
Sophia: “Please! So someone else sets up the driver's-ed cones.”
Dorothy: “There's
something wrong with the line. That's why I can't say it.”
Sy: “There's
something wrong with the line?
Dorothy: “Yes, you
see, I'm an English teacher. I should know. The reason I can't say it
is because the line itself is not grammatical. See, it should be
'real-LY good pizza,' not 'real good.' 'Perfect pizza with pizazz.'
Even better. Hey, I can act and write! Gee, I love this business!”
Sophia: “You can't
pay me enough to endorse that slime on a shingle.”
Dorothy: “Ma, this
is a nationwide commercial. There is a lot of money involved here.”
Sophia: “Sorry
Dorothy. There are two things a Sicilian won't do: lie about pizza
and file a tax return.”
Critique:
You know it's a good episode when it opens on one of my all-time
favorite lines. Obviously, the girls are such dicks to Rose that
she'd actually think Blanche was calling her a jerk. Even if I love
when the girls are insulting each other, I also love it when they band
together to solve a problem. Especially when it involves playing
bizarre board games from St. Olaf. The real comic highlight here
however is the B story involving the pizza commercial. First Rose
bitches out the director in a delightfully awkward scene and later
watching Bea Arthur pretend to act like she can't act is simply
priceless (“Boy do you stink.”) And the way Dorothy slams the
pizza on the table after being forced to switch roles is the
definition of rewatchable. But finally, two things, first, what shady
pharmacy fulfills a prescription that's over thirty years old? And
why exactly is Rose swallowing Flintstone vitamins with water?
They're chewable. I mean I know she's not always the brightest color
in the box, just something that always bugged me. Still, this is a
classic episode all around. GRADE: A
This reminds me of when Dorothy had chronic fatigue syndrome. No issues or symptoms before this episode & no issues or symptoms after. And how long was Rose in the drug treatment program? I get the meaning of the show, I just think drug addiction takes more than 20 minutes to solve.

ReplyDeleteEveryone experiences worry from time to time, but if your worries and fears are pervasive enough to prevent you from functioning normally and relaxing, you may have generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Common anxiety disorders like GAD are characterized by ongoing, chronic concern, jitters, and tension. The anxiety associated with GAD is diffused—a general sense of dread or unease that permeates your entire life—unlike a phobia, when your fear is associated with a particular thing or circumstance. While less severe than a panic episode, this anxiety lasts considerably longer, making it difficult to function normally and relax. It is draining to have generalized anxiety disorder both psychologically and physically. It depletes your vitality, disrupts your sleep, and exhausts your body.
