The Golden Girls1985

Dorothy Zbornak:
[Sophia enters the kitchen carrying a letter] Oh, hi, Ma.

Sophia Petrillo:
Listen to this, "If I were truly free, o fire of my loins. I'd take you to a paradise in the sun where we could lie naked, bronze body against pearl body, locked in a frenzy of love.

Dorothy Zbornak:
Ma, who wrote that?

Sophia Petrillo:
Merrill Kellog.

Dorothy Zbornak:
Merrill... Who's he?

Sophia Petrillo:
Ask Blanche. It's her letter.

Dorothy Zbornak:
[snatches the letter from Sophia] This is from that guy in prison Blanche has been writing to.

Rose Nylund:
How are you going to explain this opened letter to Blanche?

Sophia Petrillo:
[taking the letter back from Dorothy] Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Blanche Deveraux:
[entering the kitchen] Morning girls.

Sophia Petrillo:
Morning, Blanche. Rose opened your letter

[hands it to Blanche and leaves]

Rose Nylund:
Blanche, I didn't!

Blanche Deveraux:
Oh, it's no problem, honey. It's just another letter form Merrill. I'd read it to you anyway. It's not personal.

Dorothy Zbornak:
Not personal! Blanche, the man says he wants to lie naked with you on a beach.

Blanche Deveraux:
Well, sure. And I wrote him that I wanted to make passionate love to him in a hammock suspended between two Magnolia tees. You know that couldn't possibly happen!

Rose Nylund:
Well, maybe if you lose a few pounds.

Blanche Deveraux:
[obviously miffed] Shut up, Rose.
