View Quote Edna: No one is auditioning for anything in this household!
Tracy: But why not? Why not?
Edna: Because dancing is not your future. One day, you’re going to own "Edna’s Occidental Laundry".

Penny: [deadpan] Oh, you've met my mother?
View Quote Link: I was just at home, practising my new twist on “The Twist”, when I overheard it on the news. I can’t believe Tracy savagely bludgeoned an Eagle Scout! That’s just not like her!

View Quote Maybelle: Miz Edna, is it? Hi, I mean, you don’t have to rush off, you know.
Edna: Well, I do. I left my iron on.

Edna: [after a long moment] Is that braised?

Maybelle: Now, honey, we got more reason to be scared on your street.
