Answer: 'Hey, I'm on a break here'

When Dorothy was offered a new job by a former student of hers, Sophia packed her lunch for her first day as a business woman. As Dorothy was about to leave the house, Sophia gave her one last advice:

"Dorothy, remember, you're a Petrillo, which in Italian means 'Hey, I am on a break here'".

Answer: Hopi Indians

During the episode where Dorothy discovered that Sophia had secretly been saving money, she got into a big fight with her mother:

Sophia: "That money is for my old age."
Dorothy: "Old age? You don't leave fingerprints anymore!"
Sophia: "I'm in my twilight years..."
Dorothy: "You're in the twilight zone; Hopi Indians are walking around saying 'how does she do it?' Ma, you're cut off!"

Answer: Virginia

Virginia was Blanche's younger sister, Charmaine was Blanche's older sister. She did not get along very well with either one, but when Virginia asked Blanche for her kidney, she decided to give it to her. In the end, due to some physical problems, Blanche could not donate her kidney after all. Virginia survived anyway, when she received a 'brand new kidney' that belonged to a Mormone school teacher. Gloria was Dorothy's younger sister and Holly was Rose's foster sister.

Answer: Oprah Winfrey

This was a conversation during an episode where Rose and Dorothy witnessed a test flight of a new aircraft of the US Air Force. Rose thought she had spotted a UFO.

Answer: Guido Spirelli

Sophia's first marriage was arranged when she was 12. At the age of 18 she had to marry Guido, a boy who owned his own vendetta company and as such was considered quite a catch. Sophia had the marriage annulled in 1920 and fled to America, because she did not want to disgrace her family. This action made Dorothy call her a pioneer for the Women's Rights Movement.

Answer: a nautical toilet

This is what Rose (with a little help of Dorothy) told Blanche after she found pictures of Blanche in bed with her late husband.

Answer: Charlie

Stan was Dorothy's ex-husband, George was Blanche's late husband and Sal was Sophia's late husband and Dorothy's father.

Answer: Chicago

We met Rose's boyfriend when he was a college professor called Miles Webber, but during one episode he reveals that he is in the Witness Protection Program after he snitched on a dangerous criminal called 'Cheeseman'. Miles' real name was Nicolas Carbone and he came from Chicago, where he was an accountant.

Answer: False

In one episode, Blanche applies for membership with the 'Daughters of the Confederacy'. In order to become a member, she must prove that she is of 100% Southern stock. During her quest through the family tree she finds out her great-grandfather married a lady from Buffalo, named Feldman.

Answer: Like Easter in Rotterdam.

The Netherlands are the market leaders in the export of flowers and the tulip is the national flower of this West-European nation. During certain holidays, like Easter and carnival, Dutch people organize huge flower parades. Rotterdam is a city in the Netherlands.

In the Golden Gate Park there is a section which is dedicated to the Netherlands and their agriculture. It features many colourful tulips. The tulip originally comes from Turkey.

Answer: Deverocks

Blanche dates often and has a lot of sex. If you pronounce Devereux - Blanche's last name - as 'Deverocks', you can guess what the rhyming word will be in a limerick.

Dorothy came up with this joke, when a delivery boy rang the door to deliver a package to 'Blanche Deverocks'.

Answer: Norway

Even though Rose is usually called 'Scandinavian', we find out she is from Norway in the episode where her cousin Sven comes to the USA to get married.

Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland make up the European region called 'Scandinavia'. Contrary to popular belief, Finland is not a part of Scandinavia.

Answer: True

Among their neighbours we find Freida Claxton, a woman that gets a heart attack during a fight with Rose and the Westons, who later starred in their own comedy 'Empty Nest'.

Answer: thank you for being a friend

The lyrics from the opening tune of "The Golden Girls":
"Thank You For Being a Friend" (music/lyrics Andrew Gold)

"Thank you for being a friend;
Traveled down the road and back again;
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant.

And if you threw a party;
Invited everyone you knew;
You would see the biggest gift would be from me;
And the card attached would say 'thank you for being a friend'."
