Quotes 

• Blanche : Sonny Bono, get off my lanai!

• George Devereaux : Blanche, that's Sonny Bono! He's a major television star.

  Blanche Devereaux : Boy, you have been gone a long time!

• Blanche Devereaux : I'm back to my old self, Blanche Devereaux has returned.

  Sophia Petrillo : Oh boy. Strike up the gland...

  [she leaves the room] 

  Blanche Devereaux : How rude. You'd think she'd feel sorry for me.

  Rose Nylund : To tell you the truth, I don't feel sorry for you either. I mean, why should I? My Charlie is dead, and nobody's giving me a second chance. Listen, Blanche, I know what it's like to have a husband suddenly taken. I never had a chance to say all those things I would have wanted to say. Well, you must know how that feels.

  Blanche Devereaux : Yes, but after what he did to me...

  Rose Nylund : Blanche, this isn't about getting even. For nine years you've been missing George. Well he's here, and I'm jealous of you. Tell him you love him, tell him you hate him, I don't care, but just see him before he leaves. Do it for yourself. Do it for all of us who wish we had the chance.

• George Devereaux : Blanche honey, I staged my death.

  Sophia Petrillo : [eavesdropping from outside]  He stained his desk?

  Blanche Devereaux : But George, I arranged your funeral. The eulogy. The flowers. I even watched them put you in the family mausoleum.

  George Devereaux : Well, what can I say, Blanche? Thanks.

• Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [Blanche is considering meeting her 'secret admirer']  I can't believe you're gonna do it. I mean, sure, the flowers are nice, but, honey, are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?

  Blanche Devereaux : Oh, come on, Dorothy, how much trouble can I get into in a public place?

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Ahhhh, how soon we forget the Greyhound Terminal incident.

• Blanche Devereaux : [seeing George again, she apologizes for speaking ill of him just before she was told he was dead]  Never thought I'd get the chance, but I'm just so sorry that my last thoughts of you were, 'I hate you.'

  George Devereaux : Well, honey, you always were fiery. I love that about you.

  Blanche Devereaux : There's more. Since the funeral, I've been with other men. Many, many men. I always felt like I was cheatin' on you.

  George Devereaux : Oh, Blanche, every day I was gone, I always wished you'd find somebody who could make you happy. How... how... how many men?

  Blanche Devereaux : Two.
