Dorothy: Ma, I hate to admit it, but there may be something to Rose's positive-thinking course. Last night I decided to write down all the negative thoughts that come into my head, and Ma, I cannot believe how many there are. I mean, just listen to this, right here on page 187: "The faucet is dripping. I know it's gonna keep me up all night. Then I'll be tired for my crummy job tomorrow. Life is a swirling eddy of despair." I mean, I can't believe that something as insignificant as a leaky faucet could bring all these bad thoughts about myself.
Sophia: It's a very serious thing, Dorothy.
Dorothy: Ma, what can I do about it?
Sophia: Try changing the washer.
