Quote from Sophia in Ebb Tide
Sophia: What do you want me to do? Kick them out? There's not a room in town. These people come from a small town in Iowa, much like St. Olaf. Rose: Really? Sophia: I don't lie about stuff like this, Rose. The good people in that town saved and sacrificed so that Peter and Maddy could have one weekend of fun before his operation. Rose: Well, he looks fine. Sophia: Oh, tell him that. Look, call me crazy. I don't see anything wrong with giving a veteran his last wish, and making some dough. Rose: Well, I guess they can stay. Sophia: Thank you, Rose. Here, take this out there, make sure they pay. Rose: Oh, I don't think it's right to charge them. Sophia: Neither do I, but he hates pity. Rose: I understand. [exits] Sophia: What a tool.
