• Sophia Petrillo : [twentysomething Michael is intent on marrying Lorraine, a 44-year-old black woman; Lorraine's mother and two aunts have come by to discuss how to prevent the marriage]  You know, I'm glad you showed up. There's something important we didn't discuss this afternoon, and I'd like to get that cleared up before we talk about anything else.

  Greta : What is it?

  Sophia Petrillo : Is it true what they say about black men in bed?

  Blanche Devereaux : Oh yes, definitely.

  Blanche Devereaux : [everyone stares at Blanche in disbelief as she realises what she's said]  Oh yes, definitely, that is something I would like to know about, too.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Blanche, please, that's a stereotype.

  Trudy : Call it whatever you want. I'm just grateful it's true!

  [the fact that Trudy, Lorraine's aunt, is black herself has provided a certain credibility]
