For Beatrice Arthur

It's so weird. I just mentioned Bea Arthur in a post. She died the day before yesterday. She really was a wonderful actress with an awesome sense of humor. "The Golden Girls" had some great lines and everyone was perfect for their role. This one's for Beatrice Arthur. Thank you for the laughs.

Rose Nylund: Can I ask a dumb question?
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Better than anybody I know.

Blanche: I still haven't lost my hour glass figure.
Dorothy: It seems as if someone added 90 minutes of extra sand in the glass.

Dorothy: [to Sophia] You're a furry little gnome and we feed you too much.

(Dorothy is carrying a pizza box into the kitchen)
Rose: Whats for dinner Dorothy?
Dorothy: A bucket of Chicken Rose, I hope you like it extra flat and crispy.

Sophia: No offense pussycat.
Dorothy: None taken you cancerouse little prune!!!

Blanche: The Great Herring War?
Rose: Between the Lindstroms and the Johannsens.
Dorothy: Oh, THAT Great Herring War.

Dorothy: You'll have to excuse my mother. She suffered a slight stroke a few years ago which rendered her totally annoying.

Dorothy: When a 22-year-old girl marries a man who's 80, chances are she is not after his body.

Dorothy: [to her ex husband] Stanley, you are truly one chromosome away from being a potato!

Blanche: [enters covered in flour] They took my jewels.
Dorothy: But I see they didn't take your cocaine!

Dorothy: Get back here you deceitful little sicilian gecco!!!
Sophia: I wuv you!
Dorothy: Too wittle too wate!!!

Blanche: This is strictly off the record, but Dirk is nearly five years younger than I am.
Dorothy: In what, Blanche, dog years?
