Best Golden Girls Moments
By far the best Rue McClanahan scene in the whole series is when she storms in during “Sick and Tired part 2” and explains she’s been up for 72 hours writing all day and all night…
Blanche: What day is this? I’ve been up for 72 hours. I had a breakthrough, I discovered a new form of writing, I will go down in history. First I wrote all day and then I tore it all up. Then that night it came to me and the words poured through like liquid from a stream it was almost a mystical experience, somebody else was writing this.
Rose: Who?
Blanche: Everyman. This is everyman’s work, it’s all gold, just open it anywhere the magic will touch you. But I’m so tired, I must sleep, and I cannot sleep. I am too tired to sleep. I will never sleep again. I may die from this what am I gonna do…?(Stares at plastic bag of egg yolks leftover from baking) My god I’m hallucinating, I see little balls of sunshine in a bag! Does this mean something?
Rose: Those are eggyolks Blanche
Blanche: My brain’s gone; and the thing is I’ve decided not to sell my book, it’s too good to sell, they can publish it after I’m dead. Like Vincent Van Gogh
Dorothy: Van Gogh was a painter Blanche
Blanche: Whatever it’s all the same thing, we’re all artists we’re all misunderstood. He cut off his hair maybe I’ll cut off mine.
Dorothy: He cut off his ear.
Blanche: I have too many earrings.
