Blanche, Rose, and Dorothy find themselves vying for the attention of Hungarian sculptor Laszlo (Tony Jay), while Sophia takes up practical joking.
Tropes:
- All Women Are Lustful: When they first meet Laszlo:
- Laszlo: Women can be so silly. They think because you are an artist you must also be a great lover.[he and the girls laugh]Laszlo: They think because you are a master in the studio, you must also be a master in the bedroom.[he and the girls laugh again]Laszlo: They think because you can work a piece of clay into a piece of beautiful art, you can also work a woman's body into fits of ecstasy and passion and total screaming abandon.[Laszlo laughs again, but Dorothy, Blanche and Rose sit there looking aroused]Blanche: Would anybody else like something cold to drink?Dorothy, Rose: I would.
- Amusing Injuries: When Rose reveals Dorothy's interest in "helping Laszlo with his work" too much, Dorothy squeezes Rose's hand painfully tight to shut Rose up.
- Batman Gambit: Sophia makes Dorothy her unwitting victim in her practical joke spree. When Sophia offers her a glass of orange juice, Dorothy asks if she left something burning on the stove, then quickly switches their glasses. When they take a drink, the cup Dorothy is using (originally Sophia's) spills all over her, revealing that Sophia knew that Dorothy would try a switch and Outgambitted her.
- Incompatible Orientation: Dorothy, Rose and Blanche all find Laszlo devastatingly attractive... they just aren't his type. The art exhibition's director is.
- Overly Narrow Superlative: As posing for Lazlo starts to drive a wedge between the girls, they confront him and make him choose. In order to get him to choose her, Blanche butters him up by saying she thinks he's the greatest Hungarian sculptor of our time. Dorothy then calls her on this, saying that if she can name two other Hungarian sculptors of any time, she will eat the statue they're standing beside.
- Whoopee Cushion: Sophia decides to pull pranks on her housemates after being on the receiving end of a prank by someone else. She places one of these on a chair, embarrassing Dorothy and Blanche when they sit on it (Blanche especially, after making comments about herself being "graceful and sophisticated"). To top it off, Sophia knows how not to set it off herself when she sits on it.
