Although I’m currently marathoning The Pretender, I’ve added Golden Girls to my TV show marathoning queue. It’s the only show that literally makes me laugh out loud. I don’t snicker, chuckle, or make any other understated sounds of amusement. I’ve tried to figure out why I’m so entertained by Rose, Dorothy, Blanche, and Sophia; however, nothing comes to mind. To share the amusement, I surfed around to find some quotes from the show. I found some quotes that I wanted to share:
The Spanish Fly Quote
Dorothy: It is not a fly, Rose.
Rose: Spanish fly is not a fly?
Dorothy: No.
Rose: What is it?
Dorothy: It’s a beetle.
Rose: They call it a fly, but it’s really a beetle?
Dorothy: Yes.
Rose: How do they know it’s Spanish?
Dorothy: Cause it wears a little sombrero, Rose!
A Child who’s Gay Quote
Dorothy: Ma, are you awake?
Sophia: Is it morning already?
Dorothy: No, Ma. I have a question for you. What would you do if you found out one of your children was… gay?
Sophia: I know you don’t get many dates, Dorothy, but stick with what you know.
Blanche’s Son Quote
Blanche: I’ll give you anything. I’ll give you one of my sons!
Dorothy: Blanche!!
Blanche: Dorothy, I’ve given this a lot of thought. I’ve had 3 sons, I’ve never had a Mercedes. Which one do you want? Biff, Doug, Skippy? No, don’t take Skippy, he’s got asthma!
Dorothy on Flirting Quote
Blanche: Look at the shameless way she’s flirting with him. Disgusting!
Rose: You flirted with him.
Blanche: I’m from the South. Flirting is part of my heritage.
Rose: What do you mean?
Dorothy: Her mother was a slut too.
Below is one of my all-time favorite clips from Golden Girls. In this clip, Dorothy reveals a secret to Blanche about her friend Jean. Blanche just doesn’t get it.

I love that episode too. Another of my favorite quotes in”Isn’t It Romantic” is also from Sophia:
“Jean is a nice person. She happens to like girls instead of guys. Some people like cats instead of dogs. Frankly, I’d rather live with a lesbian than a cat. Unless a lesbian sheds—that I don’t know.”
Sophia:
“Let me tell you girls the three most important things I learned about life: number one, hold fast to your friends; number two, there’s no such thing as security; and number three, don’t go see ‘Ishtar.’ Woof.”
