After Sooni walks away from Winchester for good, at Rosie's, Rosie comes over to clear the table & says to Charles, "You are better off without her." Charles makes a reply that I couldn't quite make out---I thought it might be, "I was looking for a friend". Then Rosie replies, "So is SHE!", which draws the stronger reaction from the laugh track & closes the scene. Anyone know what Charles actually says?
shareHe only said "Oh, Really".
Then Rosie said "So is SHE"
I suspect that he didn't expect the same thing that she was expecting, which is why she walked away. He thought she should like poetry, and be a high class broad.
Are you sure you're not mixing up two episodes with the "I was looking for a friend", because that's when Charles says that line to her. It was in "No Laughing Matter" as he was trying to get some companionship for Colonel Baldwin.
Destroying an empire to win a war is no victory and ending a battle to save an empire is no defeat
No, I wasn't confusing the two eps; I was only wondering what Charles said that brought on Rosie's summation of the situation. The whole "moral" of the story was that Charles couldn't "make" Sooni into a high-class lady, the same way that Debbie couldn't fall for Klinger in a long-term relationship. I appreciate your filling in the blank, thanks! :-)
shareWinchester's Korean whore had the best line in the episode:
"Forget it, skinhead!"
