 * Dorothy: Rose, is this another one of those Scandanavian Viking concoctions?
 * Rose: Yes! It's called Geneukenfleuken cake. An ancient recipe but I amercanised it.
 * Dorothy: So one might say you brought "Geneukenfleuken" into the 80s? Rose: Yes. But I'm not one to blow my own grutugenflugen!
 * Dorothy: So one might say you brought "Geneukenfleuken" into the 80s? Rose: Yes. But I'm not one to blow my own grutugenflugen!
 * Sophia: I can't even reach mine.


 * Angela: You know I like Rose. When a woman throws herself on a platter of chicken and screams "murderer" she's not playing with a full set of Bocce balls.


 * Dorothy: Ah...Rose, do you know off hand if 911 is the right number to call for a straight jacket?
