Blanche: And I'm Sister Blanche. We're... uh, going...
[looks at panties in her hands]
Blanche: ...door to door collecting lingerie for... needy sexy people.

Side splitting, this episode is pure class, hilariously funny from start to finish. I'd put this one in my top five.
Dorothy was so ahead of the time, she had 2023 views before it was even such a thing. Seeing her and Stan squabbling under the pretence of being happily married is a scream.
Some of the one liners in this episode will have you aching laughing, some of the best for some time.
'I could vomit just looking at you,' 'The Nazis are coming,' 'That was my mother's knee.'
Herb Edelman was tremendous as Stan, arguably his best episode.
Magical. 10/10.
