Women of the House1995

Natalie Hollingsworth:
If you go on Crossfire and they're gonna start asking you those questions like, oh - do you pay social security taxes on your maid?

Suzanne Sugarbaker:
Well, I just pay her cash. What she does with it is her own business.

Natalie Hollingsworth:
Oh, please! Now that's gonna be in every paper in the country! Sapphire will tear you apart.

Suzanne Sugarbaker:
I don't think so, I don't think she even takes the paper.

Natalie Hollingsworth:
Who are you talking about?

Suzanne Sugarbaker:
I'm talking about my maid, Sapphire. Who are you talking about?

Natalie Hollingsworth:
Oh, I'm talking about Bill Sapphire, the columnist. You have a black maid named Sapphire?

Suzanne Sugarbaker:
Yes, I do.

Natalie Hollingsworth:
Are you aware that that is a racial stereotype, like Amos 'n Andy?

Suzanne Sugarbaker:
Look, I can't help what it is. Sapphire's her damned name and she's too old to change it now!
