Quote from Sophia in Hey, Look Me Over
Dorothy: Well, I picked up this pamphlet on the four warning signs of hearing loss. I think Ma may be having a problem. Blanche: Sophia? Dorothy: Warning sign number one, avoidance of social activities. Number two, people who can't hear act forgetful. Ma forgot about these tickets. Blanche: Oh, that was just an excuse. Sophia's not really getting forgetful. Sophia: [holding an empty tray] Hot coffee! Coming through! Number three, they act cranky. Sophia: Ah, the hell with you. Get your own coffee. Dorothy: Number four, they usually laugh out of context. Sophia: [laughing] Rose: What are you laughing at? Sophia: I'm sorry. I thought you said, "My dog has no nose. Well, how does he smell? Awful." "Awful." Nothing, huh? Well, I laughed when I thought you said it.
