Question

Fans discuss where George quotes "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" and determine it occurs in "The Airport" when he taunts a handcuffed prisoner over a Time magazine.

What episode was it where George does the line from "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" ["But you are, Blanche!"]??? AND--who did he say it to? It's been driving me nuts and I don't want to go thru all of my episodes. THANKS!

George says it to the handcuffed prisoner in "The Airport":

PRISONER: Gotta get my Time magazine... Never miss my Time magazine. GUARD: Yeah, get your magazine and let's get out of here.

[George lifts the last copy from the rack before the con can get it.]

PRISONER: Hey, I was gonna take that! GEORGE: Gee, I'm sorry... I got here first. PRISONER: I don't care when you got here, I want the magazine... GEORGE: You don't understand, there's a blurb about me in this magazine! PRISONER: A blurb?! YOU'RE a blurb! Check out the cover, idiot! GUARD: All right, let's go...

[George checks out the cover shot which shows a picture of the aforementioned prisoner with the caption "Caught!'' written below.]

PRISONER: I want the magazine! GEORGE: Umm... No. PRISONER: You know what I would do to you, if I wasn't in these shackles... GEORGE: But you are Blanche... You ARE in the shackles. Oh, I can't wait to read my Time magazine! Laaaast copy, too. Maybe I'll read it tomorrow--in the park! It's supposed to be a beeyootiful day! Have a nice life... sentence, that is! -----------------------------------------------------------------------
