thirtysomething Quote
Rose Waldman: [clinking her glass with a knife and standing up at the head of the table] Can I have anybody's attention? Well, uh, tonight we have three birthday girls. One of them is eighty. But I'm not going to tell who. But I am going to tell a story about business. A manufacturer falls in love with a fabric, and buys five thousand yards. But he can only sell half of it. Well, I save his life. I take the other half. Now he's got something. People need to have something in their hands. Tonight, my hands are full. So is my heart. Tonight...
Rose Waldman: [laughing and tossing down her notes] I'm eighty years old tonight! And as i look back on my life, I... I know my hands are too full. And I want to count my blessings. My biggest blessings are right here: my daughter, Elaine. Her husband, Murray. And my darling granddaughter, Melissa... to whom I am going to leave the business. After I have trainer her properly. [Everyone present is shocked into a stunned silence, including Ellyn and Michael]
Rose Waldman: [to Melissa] And I trust and hope you will carry my name into the future. [Aunt Muriel enters with a cake and everyone starts to sing 'Happy Birthday' as Melissa just sits there, in unhappy shock]
