The Operation (1986)

Betty White: Rose Nylund

Quotes 

• Rose Nylund : I'll never forget the things I saw the one summer I worked as a candy striper: misplaced patients, mixed up medications, botched operations...

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Rose, do a big ugly man with a limp a favor and shut up.

• Sophia Petrillo : I'm knitting a cover for the sherry.

  Rose Nylund : Why do we need a cover for the sherry?

  Sophia Petrillo : Not the sherry here at the house, the sherry I take to the park. You drink out of a brown paper bag and suddenly everybody's your friend.

• Rose Nylund : Blanche, call the police! I just saw a big ugly man with a limp walk past my room and he was wearing Dorothy's coat!

  [sees Dorothy in the room] 

  Rose Nylund : Of course it was dark and I tend to over-dramatize.

• Blanche Devereaux : I think this is a lovely hospital room, don't you think it's lovely, Rose?

  Rose Nylund : It's very lovely... I just can't help but think of how many people have never left this room.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Where are they, Rose, hiding in the shower?

  Sophia Petrillo : She means a lot of people probably croaked in here.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : I know what she means, but I don't need to hear it the night before my operation.
