[edit] Plot Outline
Rose has been dating Dr. Johnathan Newman for quite a while, and she thinks the relationship will lead to the altar. Second thoughts (and embarrassing moments for the other girls) come up though, mainly because Dr. Newman is a midget. Meanwhile, Sophia goes away for her grandson's graduation.
[edit] Trivia
- This episode won the Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Technical Direction for a Series.
- Tony Carreiro, who plays the waiter in this episode, returns later in the season in Flu Attack (a.k.a.) The Flu to play yet another waiter. He returns once more in the fifth season episode 72 Hours to play Rose's doctor. Most may know him best as Joe, Daphne's love interest on Frasier.
[edit] Memorable Quotes
- Dorothy: (in Rose's dream, about the wedding) You can't disappoint the guests.
Rose: The guests? But I have to think about what's best for me!
Dorothy: That's only in real life. In dreams, you do what's best for the guests!
- Sophia: My son married a welder. Too bad she didn’t weld his zipper shut; they got ten kids they can’t afford.
- Blanche: I've found a great way to meet more men.
Sophia: More men? You're gonna need a turnstile in your bedroom.
- Sophia: That guy over there....is he a midget?
Dorothy: Yes, Ma.
Sophia: Thank God, I thought I was having another stroke!
- Blanche: He analyzed my dream.
Dorothy: What dream?
Blanche: The one where I'm running naked through a train going through tunnel after tunnel while a sweaty bodybuilder chases me. He said he thinks it's sexual.
Dorothy: He thinks ? For God's sake, Blanche, you smoke a cigarette after that dream.
