Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma's been feeling a little down lately, so I invited her to play golf with us.
Raymond: Oh, wonderful. Glad to have you along.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: You know, with all the work I put in on this campaign, I might as well run for fashion show chairman myself.
Blanche: [laughing]
Rose: What's so funny?
Blanche: You? Rose, you can't be fashion show chairman. Well, you thought Giorgio Armani was a puppet on Ed Sullivan.

Quote from Dorothy

Rose: Where are you going all dressed up?
Dorothy: Raymond invited me out for an intimate dinner. It'll be the first time in weeks that we've been anywhere without Ma.
Blanche: Is that why you sent her off to the drugstore?
Rose: You're dumping your own mother?
Dorothy: Faster than CBS dumped Jimmy the Greek.

Quote from Dorothy

Raymond: Dorothy, I'm getting tired of dating your mother.
Dorothy: I promise this is the last time this'll ever happen.
Raymond: Okay.
Dorothy: Coming, Ma.
Raymond: Just one more thing.
Dorothy: What is it?
Raymond: When we are through with dinner and she begins to pick her teeth-
Dorothy: I'll ask her to keep them in her mouth.

Quote from Dorothy

Waiter: May I get something from the bar?
Raymond: Yes. Bring me a bottle of scotch.
Dorothy: Raymond, we still have to get through dinner.
Raymond: That's right. And a bottle of gin.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ah, dinner was just wonderful, Raymond.
Sophia: And the rolls were the best I ever tasted. You want one?
Raymond: No, thank you, Sophia.
Dorothy: How about some coffee?
Sophia: Sorry. I didn't steal any. But I have plenty of matches.

Quote from Sophia

Sophia: I can't believe it. I'm going to the Bahamas. [singing] Day-oh Day-oh Day-oh

Quote from Dorothy

Raymond: It's okay, Dorothy. I respect your being so considerate of your mother. Have you ever considered having her put away?
Dorothy: Every day of my life.

Quote from Rose

Rose: Dorothy, can I confide something in you I've never told another living soul?
Dorothy: Of course.
Rose: Promise not to tell anybody?
Dorothy: I promise.
Rose: Are you willing to spit in each other's hand and rub on it?
Dorothy: Who are we, Wally and the Beaver? What is it you wanna tell me, Rose?

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, I know what you're trying to do. It's not working.
Sophia: What?
Dorothy: You made up something to do because you're afraid you'll be intruding on Raymond and me. You don't have to worry about that. Honey, you are more important. And that's why I'm spending the entire weekend here with you.
Sophia: Jeez, you're a yutz.
Dorothy: Try not to get all choked up.
