Sophia: Would you two knock it off? I'm telling you there's nothing to worry about.
Dorothy: Ma, how would you you know that?
Sophia: When you reach my age, you get pretty good at spotting the 12 warning signs of death.
Blanche: What are they?
Sophia: Number one, your children start visiting during the week. Number two, your doctor won't let you postdate a check. Number three, you can't eat Cream O' Wheat because it's too spicy.
Dorothy: Will you stop? Will you stop? I mean, this could be serious.
Sophia: Of course it could. That's why I'm trying not to think about it. I'll be honest, if anything happened to Rose, it would be like losing one of my own children. I'm going to the cafeteria. My canasta club gives this hospital's jello three stars.
