• Blanche Devereaux : [coming on to a man in the library]  Hi, whatcha readin'?

  Blanche Devereaux : [she looks at the spine of his book]  Ohhh, you must be a passionate man. 'Females to Fondle'.

  Ted : Well, it's volume seven of the encyclopedia.

• Blanche Devereaux : [on a first date, Blanche brings along Sophia and introduces her as her Grandmother]  Having a chaperon is an old Southern tradition. Grammy here brought me up since I was a child. She's the one who taught me how to put up peach preserves, and make my own clothes.

  Sophia Petrillo : We was po'.

  Ted : Blanche, you didn't strike me as the type who needed a chaperon.

  Blanche Devereaux : Well, as I said, it was a tradition. We Southern families stick together.

  Sophia Petrillo : We sho' do.

  Ted : Well, I suppose it's been nice, having someone look after you since you were young.

  Sophia Petrillo : I had to. When she was fifteen, I caught her under a pile of hillbillies. Picture it: me with a crowbar, prying cousins off, left and right.
