Quote from Sophia in Rose Fights Back
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.
