Quote from Sophia in Ebbtide's Revenge
Sophia: You showed disrespect for our family, and family is sacred where I come from. Phil knew how I felt. You think it was easy for me? I did what I had to do. Angela: But what did I do? Sophia: You know very well what you did. Angela: I swear, I don't. Sophia: Your dowry check bounced. Angela: What dowry check? Sophia: Your father gave us a check for two million when we agreed to let you marry Phil. Blanche: Two million dollars for Phil? Wasn't exactly a buyer's market, was it? Sophia: Not two million dollars. It was lire. With the exchange rate, it came to about $47. But the check bounced anyway.
