Quotes
-
Rose Nylund : Four nights in a row and I still can't sleep!
Sophia Petrillo : Please! I haven't had a decent night's sleep since I was seventy.
Rose Nylund : I shouldn't complain; I mean, four nights is nothing compared to Elsie Uteruden back in St. Olaf. She stayed away for 17 straight days in a rocking chair marathon. Course she couldn't have done it without the moral support of her children... and her husband... and his cattle prod.

Rose Nylund : [Rose has been unable to sleep, and Dorothy is upset with Blanche] Calm down, Dorothy, I'll brew you some tea.
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : I don't want any tea.
Rose Nylund : Oh, but this the special blend. It's very soothing.
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [she reads the label] Rose, have you been drinking much of this?
Rose Nylund : Only at night when I can't sleep.
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Hon-... this is *loaded* with caffeine.
Rose Nylund : But we need caffeine, especially women our age, or our bones'll get brittle and we'll walk all stooped over.
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : That's calcium, Rose. Calcium, not caffeine. This is what has been keeping you awake.
Rose Nylund : You mean if I stop drinking that, I can sleep?
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : You may even blink again.
