• Sophia Petrillo : It's not that easy to make new friends.

  Rose Nylund : It sure wasn't for the first Eskimo family that moved to St. Olaf.

  Dorothy Zbornak : Oh, geez.

  Rose Nylund : Especially after they sawed a hole and went salmon fishing in the middle of the local ice skating rink. And then there was the Halloween they gave all the kids whale blubber. And then there was the time they borrowed every ice tray in town to build an addition over their garage.

  Dorothy Zbornak : What was the point, Rose?

  Rose Nylund : I guess, after the baby came, they needed more room! The point of the story! Well, gradually they were able to make friends, and they ended up the most popular family in town!

  Blanche Devereaux : But only because they went out and met people. Isn't that right, Rose?

  Rose Nylund : No, it was because, in the drought of '49, their house melted and kept the town from dehydrating!

• Dorothy Zbornak : I know what I'll say if a man asks me to sail around the world.

  Sophia Petrillo : Please! You can't even get anyone to ask you out for a cup of coffee. Sail around the world? That'll be the day! Like, there's a line waiting around the block. We've to install one of those ticket machines like they have at the bakery. Around the world, yeah, right!

  Dorothy Zbornak : I get the picture, Ma!
