... but I believe Flo says that line at least once in ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE by Martin Scorsese, which is the basis for the "Alice" series. I could be wrong on that, because she generally has a dirtier mouth than the tv Flo, and it could be a cleaned up version of a dirtier movie expression...
