In the Devereux house, when Rose cooks dinner, everyone fears dinner time.
Rose (talking aloud): "I hope you all like my homemade Sloppy Joes".
Sophia (whispering to Dorothy on the phone): "Heads up, Pussycat. Rose made homemade Sloppy Joes. Make sure your purse is mostly empty, or else we're all going to have really upset stomachs tonight."
Blanche (talking to Rose): "Alright Rose, what's that slop warming up in my slow cooker?"
Rose (talking to Blanche): "I made homemade Sloppy Joe sandwiches, Blanche. I used 'Mama's Book of Special Recipes'."
Blanche (talking to Rose): "Oh, then maybe they'll taste halfway decent. You've always told us that your mother was a really good cook".
Rose (talking to Blanche): "Oh no, not my mother's recipe. My mother hated Sloppy Joes. I got the recipe from a book called 'Mama's Book of Special Recipes'.
Sophia (talking to Blanche): "Who knew Rose knew how to read? That's what really surprises me."
Rose (talking to Blanche): "I hope Dorothy will be home soon so we can eat."
Dorothy (thinking to herself): "I can't believe Ma and Blanche let Rose cook dinner tonight. Although, those Sloppy Joes do look good."
