Sophia: Everybody's gonna be talking about me when they see what I cooked up for the talent show. I call my new act "Sophia and Sophia." Get a load of this. Uh, hi, Sophia. [as the sock puppet] Oh, hello, Sophia. How are you feeling today? I've got a little arthritis in my neck. I was wondering why my wrist was hurting. What do you think?
Dorothy: Oh, come on, Ma, you could see your lips moving.
Sophia: So?
Blanche: Well, a ventriloquist's lips aren't supposed to move, Sophia.
Sophia: Is that common knowledge?
Dorothy: I'm afraid so, Ma. I mean, otherwise it would just be you talking with a sock on your hand.
Sophia: [to the sock] Tough break, Sophia. One minute you're about to entertain the masses, the next you're back on a foot covering a corn pad. Now you know how Valerie Harper feels.
