Quotes 

• Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [when Dorothy's adult student, Mr Tanaka, comes to her first class he's read the text, has done all the work ahead of time, and has written an extra report]  We're *never* going to get ahead of you people, are we?

• Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [explaining to her former student why she's going to leave the job he gave her teaching his employees, and go back to teaching High School]  All these gentlemen were goof-offs, and you were a goof-off and I managed to cut you off at the pass. I figure 'the pass' is about the 10th grade. And that's where I belong.

• Blanche Devereaux : [trying to help Rose find a good birthday present for Miles]  Oh, I know. You can give Miles one of those boudoir photographs. You know, where you pose for pictures in sexy lingerie.

  Rose Nylund : Oh, I don't know. I'd feel cheap... Like... Well, like you.

  Blanche Devereaux : Oh, Rose, come on. It's a great idea. The pictures are just an intimate way to let a fella know he's the one and only man in your life. I've done it, twenty, thirty times.

  Rose Nylund : [Dorothy and Sophia come into the living room]  Oh, Dorothy, how would you feel about a birthday present of a picture of me in sexy lingerie?

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : I'd rather have the cash.

  Rose Nylund : Actually, it's not for you, it's for Miles.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : He'd rather have the cash.

• Randy : Hey '75 was a big year for me. My grades were in the toilet. I was ready to bail. Until they brought in Atilla the Sub.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : I loved that name. I EARNED that name!
