Rue McClanahan: Blanche Devereaux

Quotes 

• Sophia Petrillo : [talking about her new boyfriend, Tony Delveccio]  I fantasize about him all day. Last night I dreamed I was Joan of Arc, and he was comin' at me with a hose.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [embarrassed to hear her mother discussing her love life]  Ma, maybe it was just a religious experience dream.

  Blanche Devereaux : Did he put out the fire?

  Sophia Petrillo : Three times.

  Blanche Devereaux : [in awe]  Wow. The seldom-achieved Joan of Arc fantasy triple! Sophia, I hate you!

• Blanche Devereaux : [to Rose]  If you hold Miles at bay, amazing things will start to happen. Oh, he'll become more attentive, he'll send you flowers. He'll be a prisoner of love, and you'll be the warden. And if you're interested, I have costumes for both of you to rent.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Blanche! First you tell my mother to sleep with a stranger, now this. I mean, what makes you think you know everything about the opposite sex?

  Blanche Devereaux : Let the record speak for itself. I have had one hundred and forty-three relationships.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : And no convictions!

• Blanche Devereaux : [the doorbell rings, and Sophia expects it's her date, as Blanche coaches her]  Take your glasses off. And you know, it's a good idea if you can find something to compliment him on.

  Sophia Petrillo : [she opens the door, and without her glasses she can't tell it's really Miles, not her date]  Hi. Is it my imagination, or do you have less hair on your knuckles?

  Miles Webber : Well, it could be, Sophia. At my age, everything starts to go.

  Rose Nylund : Sophia, it's Miles.

  Miles Webber : [to Sophia]  Hey, you look beautiful!

  Sophia Petrillo : Boy, it has been a long time for you, hasn't it, big fella?
