[Blair enters the banquet room and is surprised to find that only Mr. Bradley and Miss Mahoney are present]
Blair Warner : Where's my mother? Did she leave?
[Blair's mother, Nancy, Molly, Cindy, Natalie and Tootie enter the banquet room from the kitchen]
Monica Warner : Oh, Blair, you look beautiful.
Blair Warner : Is that you mother? In an apron?
Monica Warner : Well, I thought it was about time that I started acting a little more like you than you like me.
-
Blair Warner : Meet my gorgeous mother.
Nancy Olson : You're the most beautiful woman I ever met.
Monica Warner : Oh, thank you, dear.
[chuckles]
Sue Ann Weaver : What do you have to do to look the way you do?
Monica Warner : Well, I get plenty of sleep, I exercise, and I drink plenty of milk.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Wow, if I could look like that, I'd drink a cow.
Nancy Olson : Come on, guys, we gotta get back to work.
Edna Garrett : On the double, on the double.
Sue Ann Weaver : [still thinking Blair's mom] Wow, what a figure.
Cindy Webster : Yeah, wouldn't you just love to have a pair of legs like that.
Natalie Green : I'd settle for just one.
-
Edna Garrett : Okay, so we both know your mother's slightly flirtatious.
Blair Warner : That's like saying the Eiffel Tower's slightly tall.
-
Blair Warner : My mother's made a date with her latest conquest, Justin Branch. He's a married man! I never want to hear 'like mother, like daughter' again.
Edna Garrett : Oh, but Blair, your mother and Mr. Branch are old friends. They're having an innocent reunion.
Blair Warner : I've lost three fathers because of 'innocent' little reunions like this. I wonder how many husbands I'll go through.
-
Monica Warner : [huge parcel] I brought you a little surprise, dear. It's your first Christian Dior.
Blair Warner : Oh, mother, thank you!
Monica Warner : Let's pull it out and see what it looks like.
Blair Warner : There's a full-length mirror in here.
[they go off next door]
-
Edna Garrett : You know, Blair, I had to learn that loving someone doesn't mean loving the parts you like. Loving means accepting the whole package, warts and all.
Blair Warner : If my mother ever had a wart, she'd sue Elizabeth Arden.
-
Nancy Olson : You're crazy. You're giving us this dress? But your mother gave it to you.
Blair Warner : I don't want it anymore. There's a curse attached to it.
Sue Ann Weaver : [grabs dress] Oh, I'll take it. I'm not superstitious.
Nancy Olson : [grabs it back] This dress must have cost a hundred dollars.
Blair Warner : The buttons cost that much.
Nancy Olson : Oh, boy, if it's that expensive, I'd be too embarrassed to take it.
Sue Ann Weaver : [grabs dress again] Oh, I'm never embarrassed.
Nancy Olson : Neither of us should have it. Give it back to Blair.
[grabs dress, gives it to Blair, but Blair tosses it into wastepaper bin]
