- Miles Webber: [Rose is embarrassed that Miles's college colleauges saw the racy photograph she gave him for his birthday] Let me tell you something: Back when I was in the Army, inside my locker I kept a picture of Betty Grable, and she was wearing a lot less than you were wearing in my birthday photo. Sweetheart, she was the darling of America.
- Rose Nylund: Miles, she was in her twenties, and she had the most beautiful legs on the planet.
- Miles Webber: [intimately] Ah... the *second* most beautiful.
- Rose Nylund: [flattered] Oh, Miles.
- Miles Webber: Rita Hayworth had a set of gams on her, boy... Well, no, look, Sweetheart, about the age thing. Something I read someplace I've always believed. Y'know, when you're... when you're young and beautiful, it's an accident of nature. But when you're beautiful older, you've earned it. That you created yourself.
- Sophia Petrillo: [on how she became the proud new owner of a giant-screen TV] The salesman tried to jerk me around on the price, but once he found out I was Jessica Tandy, I got a deal!
- 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!
