- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Blanche, I didn't know you were in here.
- Blanche Devereaux: I was hiding behind the drapes.
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: What is this, Hamlet?
- 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.
- Stan Zbornak: Morning ladies. Hey the way you leave that back door open any idiot could walk in here.
- Sophia Petrillo: Any idiot did!
- 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.
