- Sophia Petrillo: So what's all this crap about you putting a curse on my daughter?
- Marguerite Brown: What is she talking about?
- Sophia Petrillo: Don't play dumb with me. I've been known to cast a curse myself. Do you think Shelley Long was really tired of playing in Cheers? Wrong, baby! I was tired of her!
- Marguerite Brown: Is that what you think this is all about? You think I put a curse on you?
- Blanche Devereaux: Well, it's true! You got mad at us for firing you, that's why you reversed that love potion you gave me.
- Marguerite Brown: Honey, that wasn't love potion. That was Chanel Number 5!
- Rose Nylund: I'm not buying that! Dorothy uses Chanel Number 5 all the time and she never attracts men!
- Blanche Devereaux: So, Marguerite, wont you start by telling us a little about yourself.
- Marguerite Brown: Well, there isn't much to tell. I'm hard working. Honest. And I'll work for a reasonable wage.
- Rose Nylund: That's it?
- Marguerite Brown: Alright. I wont go on with this charade any longer. There is something else, I'm black. Now if that's a problem for you, I'm white. Course that'll cost you extra!
- Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Oh, Marguerite, I could kiss you!
- Marguerite Brown: And I don't go for that freaky stuff.
- Rose Nylund: Oh, neither do Dorothy and I.
- Marguerite Brown: [Sophia said she cursed Shelley Long off the show Cheers] Thank you for taking care of that Shelley Long. I'm tired of that thin, uppity, white woman too.
- Sophia Petrillo: She's the housekeeper, right?
- Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Right.
- Sophia Petrillo: But she's not supposed to lift a finger, right?
- Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Right.
- Sophia Petrillo: If anything needs to be done, you take care of it, right?
- Sophia Petrillo: Right. Where are you going, Ma?
- Sophia Petrillo: To get a job as a housekeeper!
- Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: [coming onto the lanai carrying a small painted rock] Girls, look what I found under my bed.
- Rose Nylund: Gee, that's the most colorful dustball I've ever seen.
- Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: This is no dustball, Rose. I think it may be some kind of charm.
- Marguerite Brown: [overhearing] It is! I learned it from my grandmother. You put a specially painted rock beneath a person's bed to bring them a restful sleep.
- Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Are you telling me that you put this under my bed?
- Marguerite Brown: Well, I was only trying to be helpful! I figured with those terrible bags you needed the rest.
- Rose Nylund: Dorothy always looks like that.
- Blanche Devereaux: And besides it'll take a lot more than rest to get rid of those babies!
- Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Listen, I have an idea. Why don't each of you take it in turns hitting me with a two by four?
- Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: [walking into the kitchen and finding Rose sweeping the floor] Rose why are you cleaning the kitchen? This is Marguerite's job!
- Rose Nylund: Dorothy, I know what you're gonna say. But I talked to Marguerite on the phone and this time she has a really good excuse for being late.
- Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Fine. What is it?
- Rose Nylund: She had to go pluck a hair from the chin of a dawrf.
- Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: And you fell for that old excuse?
