• Blanche : [the girls have the flu]  Dorothy, where's my heating pad?

  Dorothy : How should I know?

  Blanche : [she holds up an electrical cord]  Well if this isn't it, I'd like to know what other electrical appliance you're using under that blanket

• Blanche : I feel hot.

  Dorothy : I feel cold.

  Rose Nylund : I feel guilty. This is all my fault.

  Dorothy : Oh, no, Rose. It's all my fault. The minute I found out you were contagious, I should have thrown you out on the street.

  Rose Nylund : I said I was sorry.

  Blanche : Oh, I feel just terrible! My eyes are all puffy, my nose is red, my glands are swollen. Isn't it amazing how I can feel so bad and still look so good?

• Rose Nylund : I just feel a little achy, that's all.

  Dorothy : "Achy"? What kind of achy? Head achy, stomach achy, back achy, what achy?

• [This morning at home. Entering the door of the kitchen, Rose is heading to the refrigerator to get thirsty of orange juice. But Dorothy was here first that she got the last orange juice in the pitcher] 

  Rose Nylund : Do we have any orange juice left?

  [Dorothy pour the last orange juice left in the pitcher in her glass] 

  Dorothy : No, we're all out.

  [Drat. Rose closed the fridge. And she was upset. Blanche has arrived] 

  Blanche : All right, I want an answer, and I want it now. Which one of you has been dipping into my Vicks VapoRub?

  Rose Nylund : I took it. And my chest was already completely coated. I did it out of spite because you lost the pre-measured cup off my NyQuil.

  Dorothy : Rose, I took your stupid cup. But you know why? Because I feel lousy, and being mean to you makes me feel better.

  Rose Nylund : Dorothy Zbornak, you can go straight to H-E-double hockey sticks.

  Dorothy : 'Double hockey sticks'?

  Blanche : Oh, what language. My ears are burning. Rose Nylund, you know what you are? You are an A-1, first-class, all-around nerd.

  [That's an ill-manner the way that Blanche talk to Rose that way] 

  Blanche : Oh, honey, I didn't mean that. I'm sorry. Oh. It's just that this flu is making me crazy.

  Dorothy : Oh, it's gotten to all of us. Do you know that we have been at each other's throat for 2 days?

  Rose Nylund : I've been the worst. I hope you two can forgive me.

  Blanche : Oh, girls, let's make a pact. Let's promise we're gonna help each other get through this mess.

  Rose Nylund : Would I be too big a nerd if I asked for a group hug?

  Blanche : Oh!

  Dorothy : Oh, honey, of course not.

  [the Three Golden Girls gather at each other a group hug] 

• Sophia Petrillo : What are you doing?

  Rose Nylund : We're having a group hug.

  Sophia Petrillo : Well knock it off. The neighbors will get the wrong idea.

  [the Golden Girls stopped] 

  Sophia Petrillo : By the way, I just called Harriet McConnell to cancel your reservations to the banquet.

  Dorothy : Oh, thanks, ma.
