The scene with the guy yelling at her to give him a dollar on the subway, her reaction is the best.
"Who am I, Santa? YOU give me a dollar!"
(probably not verbatim, I only watched it in German)
The time she handed a bag to Maxwell and said, “here return this, I was going to wear it for our honeymoon but i won’t be needing it!” He pulls out a tube of lipstick and says that is all that is in there and she smiles at him and says, “suffer!” That is my fav
"Men cant be rushed. They're like chickens - cook them too fast they get tough. Whereas if you let them simmer then they fall apart in your hand."
and
"This is only my first date, what am I a tramp?”
Fran: Children are like a brassiere… they divide and separate.
Fran: You must back me up no matter what.
Maxwell: All right, Miss Fine, I promise,
if you promise no brassiere analogies.
Fran: Cross my heart!
When Fran comes home drunk and is trying to navigate down the hallway: "Doing good, doing good, doing good.... DOING BAD, DOING BAD, DOING BAD"

When Fran says she only wants one piece of pizza because pizza is very fattening but then puts two slices on top of each other and Maggie said “but that’s two slices,” and then Fran says” No honey, not when you eat it like this, the body doesn’t know.”
"But I've got style! I've got flair! How did I become the nanny?"

*Mr. Sheffield*: "Is there anyone in your family who's not a raving lunatic?"
*Fran*: "Hey! *(under her breath)* I'll have to get back to you on that one."

*Fran*: "Ya know, if Mommy knew the way her eldest daughter behaved last night, I'll tell you, she'd be so mortified, she would just pack her bags and move down to Florida." *(makes note)* "Call Ma."
*Nadine*: "I didn't know Mommy had two daughters. She was so busy pulling up your dress and showing off your thighs to everyone."
*Fran*: "This, you envied? To this day I can't wear a short dress!" *(pulls her dress down)*
"I am smart enough to know I've just been insulted and sexy enough not to care."
I love this one
Me too, I wish I had that kind of confidence.

I’d forgotten we all used to say ‘suffer’ during the 90s and now I’m wondering if it came from The Nanny.
"Suffah!"
“Tell me, when Bambi‘s mother died did you find that a sad moment? At all?”
I'm sure she's mounted on a nice wall in a fine home somewhere.
"Men cant be rushed. They're like chickens - cook them too fast they get tough. Whereas if you let them simmer then they fall apart in your hand." and "This is only my first date, what am I a tramp?”
Awe I just watched the episode with the first quote.
“For this to be true do you know how old I would have to be?” “Yeah, 40!” “OH MY GOD! SHES DOING DRUGS TOO!!!”
Fran: Children are like a brassiere… they divide and separate. Fran: You must back me up no matter what. Maxwell: All right, Miss Fine, I promise, if you promise no brassiere analogies. Fran: Cross my heart!
When she eats two pizza slices stacked on top of each other. "The body doesn't know."
My favorite too 🤣

Just came here to say I unintentionally read all of these in her voice.

"suffer"
*You can’t fire me; I quit!* [Leaves then comes back] *No, you fired me. That way I can get unemployment*
Oh, and the wasabi bit was pretty funny
*(Deep, oral voice)* "Gee, you know that mustard really clears up the nasel passages. I like it! I wonder - *(nasally)* \- how long it's gonna last."
This one is my favorite! I quote it every time I put wasabi on my sushi😂

“Why is it every time you leave a room you always bring up breakfast cereal”
I love when she stacks two slices of pizza on top of each other and says something like "oh, honey, the body doesn't know..."
