Quotes 

• Mary Jo Shively : [the ladies discuss Ursula taking their men's attention]  Well, I don't know if we could compete with her even if we wanted to.

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : Speak for yourself.

  Mary Jo Shively : Suzanne, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I saw her bra hanging on the towel rack in the bathroom.

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : So?

  Mary Jo Shively : So you are not top dog anymore.

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : How do you know?

  Mary Jo Shively : Because -- I can get my whole head in one side of hers.

  Charlene Frazier Stillfield : Mary Jo! You put her bra on your head?

  Mary Jo Shively : I couldn't help it! You know how that fascinates me. Suzanne's cup fits me like a beanie, but Ursula's covered my whole face.

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : Well, Mary Jo. This just helps to point out the main problem that you people have that I've been talking about. You are not competitive! I mean, here you have this gorgeous girl who gets up at 5:30, cooks your boyfriend's breakfast, then goes jogging with him. And what do you do? You're in the bathroom trying her brassiere on your head! I mean, you're as impressed with her as he is!
