Just as thick as Louisiana black strap molasses on a stake of Johnny cakes just as high as an elephants knee. On a riverboat floating down da Mississippi, just finish da damn story Blanche!!! Literally dyeing of laughter!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You like that line, too? When the other girls return Dorothy's criticisms with a snide remark of their own, I applaud them. The "socially acceptable as Brooklyn" line gets me smiling all the time.
*Deborah Kerns* Brooklyn was not socially acceptable, especially back then, so it is Blanche who is the one being snooty, since she's sarcastically putting down Brooklynites and calling them classless.
@@musicaltheatergeek79 ~ We'll have to agree to disagree on this. I've always found Dorothy's character to have a "high & mighty" attitude. Dorothy was always putting down the other characters if she disagreed with them on something...
I always felt so bad for Dorothy having to listen to the other 3 girls's stories: Rose's dumb St Olaf stories, Blanche's southern drawn out stories, and Sophia's exaggerated Sicily stories.
Rose: too silly. Blanche: too poetic (southern). Sophia: too unrealistic. Dorothy can't stand anyone's stories, basically 😂. She's the one that tells them the least and the best.

dorothy: blanche, I am in no moode to hear about the endless parade of sexual encounters you have experienced up and down the florida coastline with nothing but this blanket between your sweaty bodies and the cold wet sand! Blanche: This blanket is what I brought my son skippy home from the hospital in when he was born! Dorothy: You're lying Blanche: Damn you're good!
...all life long, in return for your self-respect, dignity, values and mostly the deeplt satisfying allegations against the bastard fermenting inside of you as a wife, mother and a self-determined woman?! I mean, I too would love myself a brand new Cadillac, I just don't think the man could afford enough all marriage long. 🤔 But have a good trip while your husband spends his long afternoons "licking the nectar right out of the honeycomb!" 😁
This scene is included in the DVD's and unedited seasons of the Golden Girls that I purchased here on RU-vid. Hallmark, TV Land, and Country Music Television has edited this scene out for some reason. I remember when the Golden Girls were on Lifetime they kept this scene in. I laugh so hard every time I see this scene.
There's always funny bits in Golden Girls, but this is one of the episodes I was like, meh... the paramedics didn't check Trudy's vitals? Or did the Girls just go "oh well, Trudy's dead, let's go home" and leave without trying to check/revive her/call 911?? Did Trudy find a doctor willing to risk his medical license to officially declare her dead for a joke? I guess it makes the episode more amusing than EMT's going "Well, her heart beat and blood pressure look fine and she's faking being unconcious, so..." Insurance company: "That'll be $1000... great prank lol"
The suspension of disbelief is difficult for me on this episode, too. I agree with the opinion that the plot is poor. The fantastically funny lines are the only saving grace for me.

@@artandcard Within the past twenty years, Brooklyn has been gentrified (i.e., influx of affluent residents/businesses). It's become a popular destination for rich, young hipsters.
1:38 They flubbed their lines. Rue meant "stack of Johnny cakes" but she said "steak".. Bea starts to say "...tell the damn story..." but she stops and says "tell the... finish the damn story!"
Sometimes I wonder if is possible, The Golden Girls could be a film, names like Diane Keaton, Annette Benning, Rita Moreno, Bette Miller to name a few have the comic chops to make it work by giving respects for the originals and a sprinkler of their own personal touch, I'll see it
I'll accept that Dorothy Zbornak was the most annoying, self-centered character on TV until Dr. Sheldon Cooper came along. She was a horrible woman, but Bea Arthur was always good at playing that.
