Quotes 

• Dorothy : We're looking for my mother.

  Rose Nylund : Maybe she's lost.

  Brother Martin : Congratulations, Rose, you finally got one.

• Brother Martin : Excuse me, but do I know you? You look awfully familiar.

  Rose Nylund : I get that a lot. People say I look like Wilma Flintstone. Not when she was on the air, more the way she looks today.

• Brother Martin : I was cloistered in a small monastery in St Olaf, Minnesota.

  Rose Nylund : Where every Spring the ducks return?

  Brother Martin : If we remember to throw out the corn, yeah... You know it?

  Rose Nylund : I know it very well. I was born and raised in St Olaf.

  Brother Martin : Well, this is extraordinary. Did you know an Ingrid Kerklavaner?

  Rose Nylund : You knew Ingrid?

  Brother Martin : She must have been about nineteen then. She worked in the kitchen in the monastery. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, thats all she ever did. We were a silent order, so that was very refreshing.

  Rose Nylund : I suppose it was. Shortly after that Ingrid died in childbirth.

  Brother Martin : You know the story?

  Rose Nylund : Oh, yes. Late one night, a basket was left at the local Orphanage, containing hickory-smoked cheese, spicy beef sticks, a baby, and some kind of crackers that didn't go with anything. Eventually the Lindstroms took the baby... and the beef sticks, 'cause that was the deal.
