Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Upon being invited into the psychiatrist's office, which Golden Girl promptly informs him that her "idea of a good psychiatrist is a bartender who pours without a spout"?

Answer: Sophia

This comedic quip of Sophia's is uttered right at the beginning of this episode, and expresses her distrust of psychiatry and its practitioners. Following this, both Rose and Dorothy introduce themselves normally, while Blanche (as usual) takes the flirtatious route, following up her own introduction with the comment "It's not pertinent at the moment, but I'm double-jointed".

2. Psychiatrist: "Before we get to the nitty-gritty, tell me a little about yourselves." Dorothy: "I'm a teacher, I'm divorced..." During this little exchange, Blanche bluntly cuts across Dorothy in order to communicate the fact that she herself is a widow. What snide little comment does she follow up this nugget of information with, in order to insult her roommate?

Answer: "No man would leave me unless he absolutely had to"

When the psychiatrist asks the girls to tell him a little bit about themselves, Blanche can't resist having a little dig at Dorothy by insinuating that the she can't keep a man. However Dorothy soon gets Blanche back, as when the latter then claims that she is "41 years old", weighs 108 pounds and has hair that is "its natural hue", Dorothy is unable to resist commenting. Audibly scoffing at Blanche's colourful fabrication, Dorothy immediately exclaims aloud, "Sure, Blanche! Yours and Lucy's."

Answer: "But then again, this 104 fever may be clouding my judgement"

The moment described in the question occurs as a result of the psychiatrist's insistence that Dorothy "give an example of how Blanche is selfish". During this flashback, Blanche, ever the serial dater, tries all ways to convince Dorothy not to cancel their double date that evening.

In the end she is successful in her endeavour, though Dorothy insists it was the night from hell, claiming she "spent the evening going in and out of consciousness while a guy with a silver tooth and a scorpion tattoo on his arm tried to grope [her] through the Vicks VapoRub".

Answer: Runny

Needless to say, Dorothy's story certainly illustrates Blanche's selfishness, and even the kind-hearted Rose agrees, insisting "Blanche, you owe Dorothy an apology". Unfortunately for Rose though, Blanche then turns on her, nastily demanding, "Shut up, Rose!", which leads on to Rose voicing her own gripes to the psychiatrist.

5. While attempting to emphasise Rose's shortcomings to the psychiatrist, the girls turn on her, referencing the time that she put a part-time job advert in the classifieds on Dorothy's behalf. Did Rose really put this advert in a personals column that said Dorothy would do anything for $8 an hour?

Answer: Yes

Poor, old Rose really makes a mess of Dorothy's attempts to secure a law-abiding part-time job, and ends up making her friend seem like a hooker instead. However this particular flashback does provide plenty of entertainment for the audience, particularly when an in the dark Blanche announces "Girls! There is a busload of Greek sailors out front.

They want to know how many drachmas there are in $8."

Answer: The precise moment that dog doo turns white

When the psychiatrist asks Rose to verbalise her opinion of Blanche, she doesn't hold back, and insults her roommate with the literal word used in St. Olaf for the precise moment that dog mess turns white. Though Blanche appears to be stunned into silence by this, an angry Dorothy retorts with "Rose, if you say one more of those stupid words", only to be cut off by Rose, who yells, "Blow it out your tubenburbles!"

7. Psychiatrist: "Now, we talked about Rose, we talked about Blanche. Nobody has said a word about Dorothy." Sophia: "___." How does Sophia respond to the psychiatrist's statement?

Answer: "That's because they're afraid of her"

As soon as Sophia states that Blanche and Rose are afraid of Dorothy, both emphatically claim they are not. However they do admit that they have a problem with her. In order to illustrate this, Blanche and Rose pinpoint one particular instance, when Dorothy was trying to study for her education exam and was clearly annoyed when she was interrupted by them.

Answer: "Aliens"

In this amusing flashback, Rose and Blanche get into bed with Dorothy while she tries to study for her education exam. Blanche then informs Dorothy that "Rose and I rented that movie "Aliens" and it just scared us half to death", prompting Sophia to pipe and say "Scared me too. That Sigourney Weaver's a sweet girl, but she really shouldn't go without makeup".

9. "It's not easy living with someone who's always so together. She's so efficient, so organised. She even balances her cheque book." Which Golden Girl is Blanche talking so enviously about here?

Answer: Dorothy

Interestingly, this moment reveals that Blanche actually feels somewhat inferior to Dorothy in some respects. Following the quotation mentioned in the question, Dorothy asks her, "Since when is competence a crime?" only to be interrupted by the psychiatrist, who tells Blanche and Rose that "Dorothy cannot be blamed for being capable".

10. "Picture it: Miami, 1987. A house, the only one in the neighbourhood without a pool, but I digress. Four women, friends - they laugh, they cry, they eat. They love, they hate, they eat. They dream, they hope, they eat. Every time you turn around, they eat." Which character speaks these words, prompting the girls to ignore the psychiatrist's recommendation that they shouldn't live together, because as this wise woman says, "what's going on here is living. Just because you have some rough times doesn't mean you throw in the towel. You go on living and eating"?

Answer: Sophia

This heart-warming ending is indeed brought about by Sophia, whose words persuade the others to disregard the psychiatrist's negative recommendation. Following these wise words the ladies promptly revert back to their usual routine, with Rose exclaiming "I'll get the cheesecake", Blanche uttering "I'll get the whipped cream" and Dorothy finishing with "I'll get the chocolate syrup".
