With the recent announcement of Sarah Levy's (Twyla Sands) pregnancy on social media, her Schitt's Creek co-stars flooded her Instagram feed with congratulatory messages. The small reunion in the comments section was sweet for Schitt's Creek fans to see because her role as Twyla was special.
While characters like David and Moira were known for their witty humor and theatrical facial expressions, Twyla deserves more credit for her notable quotes that were both unintentionally funny and surprising.
*While Looking Sweetly At Alexis* "Thanks, My Friend Gave It To Me."
Alexis and Twyla became friendship goals by the end of Schitt's Creek. It took some time but the two learned from each other and grew from their experiences together. Twyla, especially, was the voice of reason for Alexis.
In one of Alexis and Twyla's final scenes, Twyla said goodbye before Alexis moved to New York. After an emotional send-off, Alexis realized Twyla was wearing a dress she gave to her. After telling her she had a cute dress on, Twyla proudly said, "Thanks, my friend gave it to me." It doesn't sound like much but this quote proved how much their friendship grew.
"One Foot On The Ground, One Foot On The Pedal, And Then Get The Hell Out Of Here!"
Although some fans felt that Alexis and Mutt should have ended up together, her leaving the series single was important for her character development. When they were dating, he tried teaching her how to ride a bike.
Mutt didn't do the best job in teaching Alexis how to ride a bike but Twyla did. She saw Alexis struggling and gave her the same advice her mom's ex-boyfriend gave her: "Put one foot on the ground, one foot on the pedal, and then get the hell out of here!"
"Mr. Rose, The Special Is Cream Of Mushroom Soup. We Don't Actually Have To-Go Containers For That, So I've Just Double-Bagged It. Would You Like A Spoon Or A Straw?"
Some of Twyla's more memorable scenes were at Cafe Tropical. As the cafe's head waitress (and future owner), she always waited on the Roses and formed a relationship with the family because of their Cafe Topical run-ins.
In one hilarious scene, Twyla's perky energy disguised how strange her quote was. After Johnny asked for soup, Twyla served him the soup in a to-go bag instead of a bowl because that's all the cafe had. The idea of Johnny walking around town with a bag of soup became a hilarious image for fans, and it was all thanks to Twyla.
"No, Meadow Harvest Is Exactly How It Sounds. It Just Changes Every Day."
There were a few things that didn't make sense about Cafe Tropical and one of those was the elaborate menu. The long-running joke was that Alexis barely ate anything from the cafe besides water, tea, or a smoothie.
When she first inquired about the smoothies, Twyla's response became a memorable quote. She told Alexis that the Meadow Harvest smoothie changed daily and the ingredients were based on her mood. When Alexis asked if it was "fruity," Twyla responded, "Yes, it is. Yup. At times. And then other times, not." Her indecisive answer became a favorite for Twyla fans.
"Money Can Buy A Lot Of Snowmobiles, But It Can't Buy Happiness..."
While many would say David and Stevie had one of the best friendships on Schitt's Creek, Twyla and Alexis' friendship was underrated.
When Twyla told Alexis that she won millions of dollars in the lottery years prior, Alexis wondered why Twyla was still in Schitt's Creek working as a waitress. In a beautiful sentiment, Twyla explained to her that money couldn't buy happiness and she was perfectly content living a quiet life.
"Oh, My Gosh. That's So Exciting. I Wonder If They'll Go To The M&M's Store?"
Moira and the Jazzagals were excited when Johnny, Roland, and Stevie got invited to visit a firm in New York City for the potential of franchising their motel idea.
When Moira and Jocelyn first told the Jazzagals that their partners were in New York, Twyla's first thought wasn't about the business deal or the iconic tourist attractions one could see in the Big Apple, it was if "they'll go to the M&M's Store." This quote said everything a fan needed to know about Twyla's personality.
"In All Honesty, Mutt Was Just A Place Holder. According To My Tea Leaves, The Guy I'm Suppose To Marry Is Black, So..."
In 'Little Sister,' Twyla and Alexis were anything but friends when Alexis encouraged Twyla to break up with Mutt, only to date him right after.
When Mutt broke up with Twyla, she was seen telling David that Mutt was "just a placeholder" in her life because her tea leaves told her her future husband was supposed to be Black. Fans found it endearing that Twyla was dictating her future based on tea leaves. It was also inspiring that Twyla was so optimistic after a breakup.
"You're Welcome. Yeah, Judging By Your Tips, I Was Never Really Sure."
The series finale of Schitt's Creek was an emotional one. After years of wanting to get out of the town, the Roses realized they were going to miss this small town after all.
After Johnny thanked Twyla for taking care of him and his family for all those years, she bluntly said she was never sure if Johnny liked the job she was doing because he never tipped her well. To be fair to the Roses, they had financial problems and couldn't tip the way they would normally, but it was still a hilarious Twyla quote.
"I'm Sorry To Hear That. Although, Part Of Me Is A Little Relieved. Since You Did Tell Me To Break Up With Him, And Then You Dated Him..."
When Mutt and Alexis broke up, she felt guilty that she dated him so shortly after Twyla dated him. As a way to make it up to her and gain her trust back, Alexis invited Twyla over to the motel for a girls night sleepover.
Twyla didn't care much for a sleepover with Alexis, and when she found out Alexis and Mutt broke up she was anything but sympathetic. Fans gave her credit for her strong, passive-aggressive response to Alexis since she was conniving during Twyla and Mutt's relationship.
"I Overheard Someone Wanted Mozzarella Sticks For Their Birthday. Pretty Sure I Scraped Off All The Freezer Burn."
Fans knew Patrick and David were soulmates when Patrick invited David out to dinner for David's birthday. While David thought it was a casual dinner, Patrick intended the dinner to be more of a date.
He wore a suit jacket and gave David a special gift, showing his true intentions. While the two were talking, Twyla showed up with a plate of thawed mozzarella sticks and hilariously mentioned that she "scrapped all the freezer burn" off. While Twyla loved Cafe Tropical, she didn't always sell its food appropriately.
