Betty White: Rose Nylund

Quotes 

• Rose : Wherever she goes, she always finds a man!

  Sophia : So do hookers.

• Blanche Devereaux : Oh, well the most wonderful thing happened, they found a donor! And excellent match! She was a retired Mormon school teacher.

  Rose : Virginia is so lucky!

  Blanche Devereaux : Oh, I'll say! That kidney was showroom new! Why, the wildest thing that ever passed through there was Ovaltine!

• Rose : What would you do?

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : For my children, I'd give both my kidneys, I'd cut them out myself.

  Rose : Me too, I'd give my heart.

  Sophia : I give to all my children, except Phil.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Why not Phil?

  Sophia : Because he never calls, he never writes, I only hear from him at Christmas when he sends me a cheddar cheese nativity scene. I'm Catholic, I can't spread a wise man on a Ritz cracker.

• Rose : Sophia, if you hated your sister would you clean the house?

  Sophia : I'd put Vaseline on the tips of her walker!

• Rose : Why would Virginia need a kidney?

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : *To feed the cat, Rose!*'

• Rose : [talking about diapers]  Remember when we had to use cotton and fish oil?

  Sophia : In Sicily they used a leaf and the river.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Ma, you never had a baby in Sicily.

  Sophia : I *was* a baby in Sicily.
