- Blanche: [shocked] All right, what in the hell is going on here?
- Chuy: What? We were playing poker and she won. What did you think?

- Chuy(to Roland): Yeah, go ahead and say it. [in a guttural voice] SEXXXXXXXXXXX!

- Roland: I know. I just haven't anticipated this happening so soon. I mean, Just yesterday I saw him in his room, making little animals with Rose's Play-Doh Fun Factory. And now I gotta tell him about-
- Chuy: [in same guttural voice] SEXXXXXXXXXXX!
- Roland: Man, will you stop saying that? Look, I gotta have this big talk with Oliver, I just wish I knew what to tell him.

- Dorothy: Blanche, do you know what your problem is? You're all talk and no action. Just like your sex life.

- Sophia: Ah, bite me.
- Roland: I don't know much about Blanche's personal life, but so what if she likes to date?
