• Kathleen : Y'all can snap at me all you want, but just remember, you'll never cheat me out of my inheritance.

  Marshall : Now, Kathleen, why would we want to do that? After all, you gave Daddy ten of the best months of your life. Certainly ought to be worth thirty or forty million.

• Kathleen : I worked too hard to get where I am.

  Marshall : Yeah, pulled yourself up by your bra-straps.

• Kathleen : Well, I don't care two hoots for this cryogenic-frozen business. I'd like to march right down to that crypt and turn up his little thermostat!

• Kathleen : I mean, how can a person date when her husband's lying a hundred yards away in a tank full of liquid nitrogen?

• Kathleen : Really, Carlotta, you should learn how to rub elbows with the little people more often. After all, this country was built on the common man.

  Carlotta : Yes, not unlike your reputation.

• Kathleen : Anyway, I just came by to tell you some fantastic news.

  Carlotta : Have you decided to move away, change your name and never contact us again as long as you shall live?

  Kathleen : No.

  Carlotta : Then you do not have fantastic news.

• Kathleen : Why, even Bootsie says....

  Carlotta : If you don't mind, Kathleen, we prefer not to seriously consider the opinion of a woman whose dog wears hot pants.

• Kathleen : Why can't I make fun of Bootsie and Wild Bill, just like y'all do?

  Carlotta : Because you're not good enough.

• Kathleen : I just had the most fantastic idea. I've decided to bust up the Westchester marriage.

  Carlotta : Oh, did you finally run out of couples in your own group?

• Kathleen : Well, we're certainly not going to send a woman with a mustache to do the job.

  Carlotta : Oh, that's right. You don't have one, do you? When you were coming down the assembly line, they said: "Hold the hair on this one, piano legs will be quite enough!"

• Kathleen : I'm sorry to bust in, but you'll never believe what just happened.

  Carlotta : Don't tell us! Random House has decided to publish your autobiography, "I Was an Elementary School Virgin."

• Kathleen : Well, sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.

  Carlotta : How I hate it when she pummels us with clever repartee.

• Bootsie : Here's a woman who was walking down the street and suddenly went up in flames.

  Bootsie : "Scientists speculate that in rare cases, the human body is capable of manufacturing such a high degree of heat that internal combustion occurs spontaneously."

  Kathleen : What does that mean?

  Mother B : Honey that means you're in big trouble!
