[edit] Plot Outline
During a tap dance rehearsal with Rose and Blanche, Dorothy injures her foot and is later hesitant about having foot surgery just as she is scheduled to dance with Rose and Blanche in a dance recital. With Dorothy out of the recital, the other two must re-work their act.
[edit] Trivia
- Robert Picardo also played a doctor on China Beach and Star Trek: Voyager.
- Dorothy's hospital fear and Blanche's fear of performing are never mentioned again.
[edit] Goofs
- As Blanche and Rose conclude their first dance in the living room, you can see a microphone over Sophia's head as she enters from the kitchen.
[edit] Memorable Quotes
- Rose: (in response to Blanche's stage fright) Hey, we all have our sad stories. Listen, Blanche, we've paid for our costumes, we've practiced for weeks, we told everyone we were going to be there, and you are not backing out on me! And if you melt into a puddle, well then, you better just break into Singing in the Rain!
- Rose: Blanche, quick, call the police! There's a big ugly man with a limp outside and he's wearing Dorothy's coat! (she looks and sees Dorothy sitting on the bed) Of course, it was dark, and I tend to overdramatize.
- Dorothy: What do you think you are doing?
Priest: I'm here to give you the last rites, Mr. Ferguson.
Dorothy: I'm not Mr. Ferguson.
Priest: Then what are you doing in bed with him? The man's dying, for god's sake!
- (After Dorothy sneaks back from the hospital and refuses to go back for surgery)
Sophia: Fine, it's settled, we'll do it here! Blanche, boil some water and get me a pillow. Rose, go sharpen my ginsu knife. Dorothy, pick out a shoe you'd like to bite on.
Dorothy: Ma, you're not serious.
Sophia: Of course not, I'm just acting as stupid as you!
