Quotes 

• Julia Sugarbaker : [Suzanne enters the shop, obviously distraught]  Something wrong, Suzanne?

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : Yes, something is wrong. I'm driving down the street this morning, the sun is shining, I'm young, I'm beautiful. I look in the rearview mirror and what do I see? There is a hair growing out of my chin. I mean, have you ever in all your life? I simply could not believe my eyes. Here I am, hardly 30 years old, and there's this hair sticking out right here. It's unbelievable. Obviously, I'm being punished for some heinous sin, like telling Kyle Westheimer's parents that he is, in fact, a bisexual. But all I know is, whatever it is, I did not merit this.

  Mary Jo Shively : You told some guy's parents that he's a bisexual?

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : That's right. I always tell the parents. And I'm not sorry either. I don't believe in bisexuals. I figure the rest of us have to choose, so why shouldn't they?

• Suzanne Sugarbaker : [leaning her chin in towards Julia]  Julia, do you see anything else there?

  Julia Sugarbaker : No Suzanne, I don't.

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : Good. Cause if I get another one, I'm just gonna have to get a gun and shoot myself through the head.

  Mary Jo Shively : Why don't you shoot yourself in the chin? Maybe that way you'll hit the root.

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : I'm glad you all find this so amusing.

  Charlene Frazier Stillfield : Oh c'mon, Suzanne. Don't you think you're being just a little bit shallow?

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : No I do not Charlene. I don't think it is shallow not to want to go through life wearing a goatee.

• Tyrone : [Tyrone watches as Julia frosts Anthony's birthday cake]  Man, this is a good looking cake.

  Julia Sugarbaker : We're gonna have to make one for your birthday. What kind do you like?

  Tyrone : I don't know. I've never had a birthday cake.

  Charlene Frazier Stillfield : You haven't...?

  Tyrone : Naw, but that's ok. I really don't like cake anyway.

  Mary Jo Shively : So, Tyrone, what'd you get Anthony?

  Tyrone : Some socks. If I'd had the money I could have gotten something from my uncle. He's in merchandising.

  Mary Jo Shively : Oh? Where?

  Tyrone : Everywhere. Mostly gas stations. He sells jewelry, stuffed animals, air fresheners. When I get my first paycheck I'm gonna buy all you guys ankle bracelets with you names and birthstones on 'em.

  Julia Sugarbaker : Aww, that's so sweet, Tyrone. We want you to save your money.

  Tyrone : Why? It's just green paper with dead presidents on it.

  Mary Jo Shively : Kinda has your philosophy, doesn't he Suzanne.

• Suzanne Sugarbaker : Well, I just had breakfast at the country club and it's all everyone is talking about. They want to know if we're gonna change the name "Sugarbaker's" to "Bonnie and Clydes."

  Mary Jo Shively : Well, I hope you told them it's all just a big mistake, the child in question is in juvenile hall, and Julia has not been charged with anything.

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : No. I just said that it was her time of the month and her hormones had made her insane.
