‘Ebbtide's Revenge’
Season 6, Episode 12 - Aired December 15, 1990
After the death of her son, Phil, Sophia can't bring herself to patch things up with his widow, Angela.
Quote from Sophia
Angela: I don't know who I'm madder at. My father for thinking he had to pay a dowry, or you for lettin' this go on all these years for a lousy $47.
Sophia: Nobody stiffs the Petrillos.
Angela: Fine. You think your family was wronged? Let me make it right. Here. Here's a check, we're even. Now are you happy?
Sophia: Can I see your driver's license and a major credit card, please? [Angela takes the check back; to Dorothy:] It was an out-of-state check.
Quote from Dorothy
Dorothy: I don't want you to go like this.
Angela: There's nothing left to say.
Dorothy: My mother wants to apologize.
Angela: Then why didn't she come in?
Dorothy: She's shy.
Angela: Sophia is shy?
Dorothy: In an obnoxious sort of way.
Quote from Dorothy
Dorothy: Look, Angela, I have to get you and Ma to end this. Not for you, not for me. For Phil. I realize now that I was wrong not doing it while he was still alive. Now, come on, Angela, take the first step. What is it gonna take?
Angela: She has to admit that she's a little witch without much sense when it comes to family matters, who takes pleasure in making other people miserable.
Dorothy: That wasn't so bad, was it?
Quote from Dorothy
Dorothy: Ma, she really likes you. I think this whole thing can be fixed.
Sophia: Forget it.
Dorothy: Ma, you know, when I think of Phil, you know what I think of? His capacity to love. You know, no matter what anyone did to Phil, he always gave back love. And you know where he learned that, Ma? From you. Now, Ma, what's happening to you? Oh, come on, please. Won't you come into the kitchen?
Sophia: Sure, as soon as she comes on her knees and begs my forgiveness.
Dorothy: I think she'd like that.
Quote from Dorothy
Dorothy: All right, the little witch is ready to apologize for everything.
Angela: She said that?
Dorothy: In her own old-world way, yes. Come on. [crawls out]
Angela: What are you doing?
Dorothy: I thought we'd walk out on our knees.
Angela: Why?
Dorothy: Icebreaker?
Angela: She didn't apologize, did she?
