Favorite Golden Girls Moment — Page 2

Dorothy: I am the wolf! Bum Bum! The big bad wolf! Bum Bum! HELLO!

---

Blanche: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go take a bath with barely enough water to cover my perky bosum.

Sophia: You're only gonna sit in an inch of water?

My all-time favorite episode is the one where they have the Full Moon Madness party and Dorothy kisses Miles. She decided to confront Rose in the kitchen to tell her and decided to use a cupacke metaphor. She uses Miles trying her "cupcakes" to tell Rose, but Rose honestly believes they are talking about cupcakes. Rose says "Nobody likes your cupcakes Dorothy, they're dry and stale!" to which Dorothy replies "My cupcakes are most and delicious, everybody LOVES my cupcakes...wait a minute, Rose, you honestly think we're talking about cupcakes?"

I wish I were better at remembering dialogue as well as you all...

Dorothy: You'll have to excuse my mother; she suffered a slight stroke a few years ago, which rendered her totally annoying.

Blanche: I never had to pay a penny in backtaxes. I have a way with auditors. The last time I was audited I even got money back from the government.
Sophia: Blanche, it's not a refund when the auditor leaves two twenties on your nightstand.

And my FAVORITE:

Dorothy: Why can't you sleep on the couch and give Clayton and Doug your room?
Blanche: Are you crazy, what will the neighbours think if they see two men in my bedroom?
Sophia: They'll think it's Tuesday.


Sophia: There's just something I don't like about him. I can't put my finger on it, but if I did, I'd have to wash it.

"We'll find out when we talk to four lesbians..."

So, so many:

Blanche: Mel makes me feel young and beautiful and special. When we're together we laugh a lot.
Sophia: Why wouldn't you? You're both naked.

Blanche (to Janet, about God): Oh honey, of course HE exists. Just look at the beautiful sky, the majestic trees. God created man, gave him a heart, and a mind, and thighs that could crack walnuts.

Dorothy: Blanche, what exactly makes you think he's your man?
Sophia: Who?
Blanche: Maybe the fact I found him first.
Sophia: Who?
Rose: What about the fact he dumped you for me?
Sophia: Who?
Dorothy: Laszlo, Ma.
Sophia: Who's Laszlo?
Rose: A Hungarian artist we've all been posing nude for.
Sophia: In the future, a simple 'none of your business, Sophia' will suffice.

After Rose has the heart attack and Blanche promises God she won't sleep with anyone unless they REALLY NEED IT if he'll just save Rose. The doctor comes out and tells them Rose is all right, then asks Blanche out. She declines, then looks up to Heaven and says "Oo, you are a vengeful God."

And I love "I am the wolf! Bum bum!" too God, there are so many.

Oh my I haven't watched this show in such a long time. But reading these favorite quotes brought back memories.

My favorites were already mentioned: The spanish fly, the Full Moon party episode about cup cakes, and when the girls vote someone out of the house.

Just to name a couple (because a gay man picking a favorite Golden Girls moment would be like Cher picking out a favorite wig) :

Dorothy and Rose find out the toilet is too heavy and :
Rose: Dorothy if the Egyptians built pyramids than we could move this toilet!
Dorothy: Fine,Rose get me 20,000 Hebrews and I'll see what I can do.

and another:
The heart surgery episode where they're all on the table as heads
Dorothy : Oh, God we look like a reunion of Henry the VIII's wives!

I remember Bea Arthur speaking about censorship on tv on her "Just Between Friends" on Broadway Cd and she said on the pilot episode that after Blanche introduced her date for the evening , Sophia was supposed to say, instead of "scuzball" , "The man is a deuche bag!".

That one would sure as hell have been a favorite!

My favorite episode is when they're at the murder mystery weekend and they think Blanche killed someone. There are so many hilarious moments.

(while solving the setup murder mystery, where an old man and his wife were shot and stabbed)
Detective: But (guy's name) was shot.
Rose: Then there must be a gun!!
Detective: ...St. Olaf?
Rose: Uncanny!

(later, after Blanche's boss is found stabbed in their room)
Rose: Maybe that bloody knife will lead us to the murder weapon!
Detective: ...west side?
Rose: It's like I'm wearing a sign!
(those were probably butchered quotes...)

Detective: She then slipped a steak knife into her purse from dinner...
Sophia: Big deal! I took a whole place setting!
Dorothy: NOT NOW, MA!!!
(And then at the end, when Sophia can't pick up her purse and needs Dorothy to do it for her because it's full of stolen flatware.)

Other favorite moment was when they had tickets for Burt Reynolds, accidentally got arrested for prostituion because they were staying at a seedy hotel, and then Sophia, when called to bail them out, denies knowing them and steals the tickets (because they had previously voted her out since they only have 3 tickets).

Yenta - and Rose wants the lambskin, in black. That kills me!

I love that moment, EverythingIsRENT. I also love this one:

Blanche: She walked in on me and William last night. I could have fallen off my headboard and chipped a tooth.

Rose: You think that's bad? She came into my room while Albert and I were re-enacting the plank-walking scene from "Peter Pan".

Dorothy: What the hell goes on in this house at night?!

Since this is BWW, we probably shouldn't forget George Hearn's turn as Foxy Loxy in the Henny Penny musical! Is it just my wishful memory, or does he hold a fork and knife aloft a la Sweeney?

Oh, Lord. There are so many moments that I love from this show. Here are just a few...

- Both of Blanche and Rose's tap dances (to "Too Darn Hot" and "Tea for Two" ) when the three girls take tap and Dorothy injures herself

- Yes, "little balls of sunshine" has already been discussed from the ep when Blanche writes her great Southern novel but my two of my fav. parts are when Rose says she doesn't like the manuscript and Blanche (to paraphrase) says,"What do YOU know about great literature? You're from Minnesota, what do y'all read? Silas Marner? The Sears-Roebuck catalogue?" Also, when she says that Hollywood will never get their hands on her work because she will never have her words coming from "Glenn Close's mouth"

- I also have a soft spot for the Mother's Day ep where each girl flashbacks to a Mother's Day: Blanche with her aging mother at a nursing home, Dorothy asking Stan's mother (played by Alice Ghostley) for money, Sophia (a "young" Estelle... god, didn't you love a good Sophia flashback) with her mother (played by Bea), and Rose's... I can't remember... something about a train station... or something

- Dorothy and Sophia in full Sonny and Cher drag singing "I've Got You Babe"

- The girls singing "Mr. Sandman" with Dorothy as the Sandman's "Yeeeeees?"

- Any episode with the full length theme song is gonna be good

That is all for now.
