Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Rose: "I was safer with Charles. I was never once robbed or murdered when I was with Charles." Dorothy: "Look, you could have just as easily have been murdered living with Charles." Irritated by Rose's neuroses, Sophia follows up Dorothy's comment with a scathing statement of her own. What is it?

Answer: I'm surprised she wasn't murdered by Charles

Rose's response here reveals a high level of anxiety, which her roommates are unable to quell. Though Sophia's quip is quite entertaining, Rose spends much of this episode, entitled "The Break-In", living in fear. Indeed while the rest of the women move on from the robbery, Rose is convinced that the robbers will come back, and is unable to work through her terror. This particular exchange occurs shortly after the girls obtain a quote for an alarm system, from a salesman who is only intent on terrifying them into spending a considerable amount of money. Needless to say, this only amplifies Rose's anxiety.

This quotation can be found in the eighth episode of season one, entitled "The Break-In".
2. Dorothy: "Blanche, would you like some broiled chicken?" Blanche: "Oh, no thank you. I'm having a raw vegetable plate. You probably haven't noticed it, but I've put on three pounds." Sophia: "___!" What cutting remark of Sophia's comes next?

Answer: On each side

Sophia makes this remark at the very opening of the episode, following a discussion about food. As noted in the question, Blanche is sticking to a rigid diet, which her eldest roommate can't help but mock. Of course, it doesn't help that Sophia is in a foul mood because there is no more pepperoni in the house, and as a result has already rejected Blanche's offer of cottage cheese, as well as her own daughter's suggestion of chicken.

This quotation can be found in the twenty-second episode of season one, entitled "Job Hunting".
3. Rose: "I'll get a job. I'm dependable, friendly, loyal, eager." Dorothy: "That's great. If she learns to catch a Frisbee in her teeth she can get work as a ___!" Which playful, high-energy dog breed belongs in the blank?

Answer: Golden Retriever

This quote of Dorothy's follows Rose's insistence that her lost job is not the disaster the former thinks it is. Indeed she insists on putting the woes of her former clients at the grief centre before her own, and busies herself with the task of finding other sources of help for them.

Once again, this quotation can be found in the twenty-second episode of season one, entitled "Job Hunting".
4. Rose: "Oh, Dorothy. I see you met Milton." Dorothy: "Oh, yes. We were just getting acquainted." [Aside] Dump him, Rose, he's ___!" Which adjective completes Dorothy's scathing assessment of Milton?

Answer: Driftwood

This comic moment occurs when Dorothy enters the patio only to discover a strange man sitting there alone, reading her "Newsweek". When she tries to make conversation, the man reveals very little, forcing Dorothy to remark bluntly, "I live here - you don't", in order to get a reaction. Finally, it is revealed that Milton is a client that Rose counselled prior to the closure of the grief centre. Clearly unimpressed, Dorothy, who initially thinks Rose is dating him, comes out with the words mentioned in the question.

Once again, this quotation can be found in the twenty-second episode of season one, entitled "Job Hunting".
5. Blanche: [morosely] "They got my jewels." Dorothy: [With sarcasm] "But I see they didn't get your cocaine!" What non-narcotic substance has Blanche been using to hide her jewels, which now covers the front of her dress?

Answer: Flour

This exchange between Dorothy and Blanche takes place after the girls discover their house has been broken into. Having immediately rushed off to check on her jewels, Blanche returns, and utters the quotation mentioned in the question. Though usually perfectly presented, she is overcome by the loss of her mama's jewels, and hardly seems to notice the large amounts of flour that covers the front of her dress.

Again, this quotation can be found in the eighth episode of season one, entitled "The Break-In".
6. Rose: "Why, oh why can't grief take a holiday?" Dorothy: "Oh, it does, Rose, it does. Eventually, it comes to ___ like everyone else." Which U.S. city, home to the Golden Girls themselves, completes this quote of Dorothy's?

Answer: Miami

Despite being unemployed, as these quotes reveal, Rose continues to help grieving individuals from her previous job. Moreover in spite of Dorothy's light-hearted retort about Miami, she is alarmed at the fact that her friend has not yet started looking for a new job. Ever the optimist, Rose continues to insist that there's "always a job for people who aren't afraid of hard work".

Once again, this quotation can be found in the twenty-second episode of season one, entitled "Job Hunting".
7. Golden Girl 1: "What did you do after Charlie died?" Golden Girl 2: "Buried him." Which simpleton, who was once married to Charlie, takes her roommate far too literally here?

Answer: Rose

In attempt to comfort Rose (aka Golden Girl 2), Dorothy (Golden Girl 1) tries to lift her spirits by pointing out that Rose has experienced (and dealt with) hardship before, and being out of work is simply another crisis to be conquered. In order to illustrate this point, Dorothy references Rose's dead husband, Charlie, resulting in the comical exchange mentioned in the above question.

This quotation can be found in the twenty-second episode of season one, entitled "Job Hunting".
8. Blanche: "Sophia, where are you going?" Sophia: "To my room." Rose: "You can't! It could be dangerous." Sophia: "Please! I'm eighty. ___ are dangerous." Shrugging off the possible perils of a break-in, Sophia shows little fear here. What word completes this quote of hers, further illustrating her point?

Answer: Bathtubs

Blanche, Rose and Sophia have this conversation shortly after the girls return from a Madonna concert, only to discover that they have been burgled. Following a hilarious Dirty Harry impression by Dorothy, whose aim is to try and intimidate any remaining intruders, Sophia comes out with the above quotation.

This quotation can be found in the eighth episode of season one, entitled "The Break-In".
9. "I wonder if jewellery comes from Jewish people. In Little Falls, the jeweller was Jewish. Jeweller. Jewish. I wonder if there's a connection." Which dim-witted character, known for coming out with corkers like this one, made this ridiculous comment?

Answer: Rose

Rose makes this absurd comment during the eighth episode of season one, entitled "The Break-In", after Blanche bemoans the fact that robbers have stolen her jewels, leaving her with none to wear. Incredulous, due to Rose's stupidity, Sophie then exclaims loudly, "I think there's a connection between your brain and wallpaper paste!"
10. Rose: [On setting off the burglar alarm] "I had to get in quickly 'cause when I got out of the car I noticed a swarthy man with a weapon!" Who exactly does this turn out to be?

Answer: The gardener trimming the hedge

As with many other quotes in this quiz, this one is also taken from the "The Break-In" and reveals Rose's growing paranoia. She truly believes that she may be in danger, and the subsequent excuse she makes to the girls is "I was running. He was blurred!"
