Dorothy: Now, Ma, what is going on?
Sophia: I don't know. It makes me feel good. In a strange way, shopping there makes you feel immortal.
Dorothy: I don't follow.
Sophia: Let's say you buy 20 cases of sardines.
Dorothy: This better be just an example.
Sophia: Of course. You get 20 cases of sardines, you figure: "God doesn't want me to waste good sardines. He's gonna wait till I finish the 20 cases." That could take five, six years.
Dorothy: Yeah, well, why couldn't you just eat one case slowly?
Sophia: Silly, isn't it?
Blanche: What in the hell are all those sardines doing in the kitchen?
Dorothy: Oh, Ma!
Sophia: Wait till you're my age. We'll see what kind of straws you clutch at.
