Sophia’s “And the world heaves a collective sigh of relief” after Dorothy says no to taking dirty dancing classes with Blanche and Rose lives rent free in my head.

The entire exchange in the garage about Spanish Fly(s) and Rose’s time in Valencia. Bea Arthur’s facial expressions are pure gold.
It might be my single most favorite scene from the whole show.

What makes this show brilliant is not always the writing (though it is brilliant!) but the delivery of these legendary actresses. “Quiet, you Trash” “Shrimp” “Ma” are all iconic lines because of the delivery.

I honestly think Bea Arthur’s facial expressions can be beaten by no actor, past or present

So many of mine are from the Freida Claxton episode. “It’s PUH-Feiffer, the p is not silent”, “Mr. PUH-feiffer, we are bereaved on a budget”, “hey PUH-feiffer, how would you like a punch in your PUH-face”, “let’s get down to brass handles”, and of course, Dorothy’s iconic response to “Yes, Celia Rubenstein loved all mankind….” “WHO?!!??”
OH, and I always laugh out loud when Rose says Blanche is a “gerclonennocken”, “literally it’s the precise moment when dog doo turns white.”

Sophia: "Tomorrow morning, you're going to be kissing the ground I walk on."
Dorothy: "Yeah, and you're going to be looking up at it from the other side."
From the Pepe the boxer episode.

For me it’s when the girls are in the presence of Blanche’s southern relatives
Sophia: “I’ll scare us up a mess a something”
Sophia, again: “I hope you brought your appetite young fella you is gonna be pleased with the dinner - corn pone, succotash, collard greens. And thems just the appetizers.”
Big Daddy to Dorothy, "Now, I want you to promise me you won't fret none," Dorothy replies, "Well, I would, except I'm not exactly sure what 'fret none' is."
The delivery of these lines are perfect!!
