Quote from Sophia
Sophia: I'll tell you something, Dorothy. No matter how much pain I went through - and it was a lot - I wouldn't give up having you for anything in the world.
Dorothy: Thanks, Ma.
Sophia: And I knew you'd be special.
Dorothy: And I didn't disappoint you?
Sophia: A little.
Quote from Sophia
Dorothy: Rose, listen, you don't have to do anything to please your parents.
Sophia: She's right. I'd like to be proud of Dorothy for something, but I'm not gonna kill myself if that day never comes.
Rose: But my parents called me "Twinkle Toes."
Sophia: I call Dorothy "Big Foot." That doesn't mean she has to make tracks all over the Northwest.
Dorothy: What Ma is trying to say is that she loves me for what I am.
Sophia: That's right - an over-the-hill schoolteacher who has to wait for the phone to ring to know if she's gonna work that day.
Quote from Rose
Sophia: In other words, Rose, hang up the skates.
Rose: Oh, Sophia. Big Foot, thank you. I mean, you're terrific. You made me realize you don't have to please your parents. I don't know how I can thank you. No more ice-skating. And I'm not gonna go over Niagara Falls in a barrel.
Dorothy: No, Rose, that you should do.
Quote from Blanche
Blanche: Oh, honey, baby, I'm here. One more push and we'll be there.
Becky: No, I can't.
Blanche: You know I've never been real strict with you, but you have to.
Becky: No, I'll just carry this baby with me for the rest of my life.
Blanche: No. It's a bad look.
