Dorothy : [Blanche comes into the house moaning after a date] Why do I feel the need to bathe?
Rose Nylund : So, how was it, Blanche?
Blanche Devereaux : Oh, you might as well ask me to describe the glory of the Great Smoky Mountains as they rise from the mist of a Carolina dawn.
Dorothy : [interpreting] They went to a sleazy motel.
Blanche Devereaux : Or the colors of the monarch butterfly, spreadin' its wings as it emerges from the miracle of the cocoon.
Dorothy : She got him to pay for half the room.
Blanche Devereaux : Or the sturdy cypress, reaching heavenward, tall and mighty and proud.
Dorothy : That one I think is pretty self-explanatory.

Dorothy : Put the marriage back together? You told me we were coming here for closure!
Dr. Halperin : Stan, I'm confused. Is this true?
Stan Zbornak : Doc, we're both men. Let's not do this to each other.
Dr. Halperin : Stanley.
Stan Zbornak : Okay, okay. I lied, but so what? You never have?
Dorothy : Only once, Stanley. The night I told you it was good for me, too.
Dr. Halperin : [laughs] And you said she didn't have a sense of humor.

Dr. Halperin : Now, Stan, what you have to do is ask yourself, why would you want to be with a woman who so clearly doesn't want to be around you?
Dorothy : Well, I think I can answer that, Doctor. There's no other kind!

Rose Nylund : [her colleague, Jerry Kennedy, the local TV station's news anchor is coming to the house] Boy, the timing of Jerry's visit works out perfectly for me. See, his birthday is in two weeks and the office is giving him a surprise roast. So I have to come up with one or two things I can kid him about. I can get away with it, because he considers me a good friend.
Dorothy : Well, then, why not tease him about his taste in friends.
