Recap / The Golden Girls S 05 E 24 The Presidents Coming The Presidents Coming

Go To

The girls reminisce about their experiences together as an FBI agent announces that President Bush will be visiting their home, and Dorothy readies a list of points to make to the president.


Tropes:

  • Clip Show
  • Oh, No... Not Again!:
    Sophia: Pussycat, are you doing the grocery shopping today?
    Dorothy: Yeah. Something you want?
    Sophia: Pick up a couple of chicken breasts and why don't we say 40... better make it 45 tubes of sunscreen.
    Rose: Sophia, I've made that mistake before. The best thing to do is turn the oven down if you don't want the chicken to burn.
    Dorothy: Rose, I don't think my mother was planning on using the suntan lotion on the chicken — what do you mean you've made that mistake before?
  • State Visit: The girls prepare for a visit from President George H. W. Bush during his Miami tour. Everybody gets excited except Dorothy, who is critical of Bush's policies. We only get to see Bush's Secret Service agents and hear his voice (impersonated by Harry Shearer), but he's charismatic enough that Dorothy is too star-struck to call him out.
  • Take That!: Lampshaded. When the agent wants to speak to them one-on-one, Rose feels the need to point out that the others wouldn't be making fun of the vice-president.
