Rosetta LeNoire: Estelle 'Mother' Winslow

Quotes 

• Harriette Winslow : Carl, put a sock in it.

  Carl Winslow : [yelling]  I will *not* put a sock in it!

  Estelle 'Mother' Winslow : Then I will!

  [stuffs her sock in his mouth] 

  Estelle 'Mother' Winslow : Let's go, Fletcher.

• Estelle 'Mother' Winslow : Alright, Carl, what's all this malarky about me being too old?

  Carl Winslow : Well Mama, you're 84, don't you think that's a little late to take up parasailing?

  Estelle 'Mother' Winslow : That's where you're wrong, Carl. There's nothing so cute, as a granny with a chute.

• Carl Winslow : [rides in the living room on a motor chair]  Hi Mama, what do you think?

  Estelle 'Mother' Winslow : [aghast]  Lord, you've gotten too lazy to walk around your own house?

  Carl Winslow : No, Mama it's for you.

  Estelle 'Mother' Winslow : Carl, what am I going to do with that thing?

  Carl Winslow : Well you can do lots of things, it can take you to the store, take you to the movies, take you to the park.

  Estelle 'Mother' Winslow : Carl, if I take that to the park, won't somebody steal it while I'm jogging?

  Carl Winslow : Mama, that's my point, you shouldn't be jogging.

  Estelle 'Mother' Winslow : Why not?

  Carl Winslow : Because you're too old.

• Carl Winslow : Mama, I'm worried about what'll happen to you if you don't slow down.

  Estelle 'Mother' Winslow : Carl, I'm worried about what'll happen to me if I *do* slow down.

  Carl Winslow : But Mama, some of the things you do are dangerous, you could get hurt, even... you could die, and that scares me.

  Estelle 'Mother' Winslow : I'm not scared about dying, I'm too busy being thankful that I'm alive.
