Quote from Sophia

Guy Corbin: And last, but not least, is a grandmother of six. Sophia Petrillo. Sophia, it says here that you and Dorothy are mother and daughter.
Sophia: No, Guy. Rose is my daughter now. And you, Dorothy, are the biggest disappointment to hit the streets since the AMC Pacer.

Quote from Blanche

Guy Corbin: Welcome back. It's time to spin the big money wheel on Grab That Dough. Spinners, mosey on down. We'll start first with Blanche from the green team. Blanche, show us your stuff.
Blanche: You first, Mr. Game Show Host.
Guy Corbin: Blanche, spin the wheel.

Quote from Sophia

Guy Corbin: The green team makes a miraculous comeback and wins the game! Oh, blue team, we don't want you to go away empty handed, you have $400, that's $100 a piece, and you have the home version of Grab That Dough which attaches to any vacuum cleaner. Thank you for being with us.
Sophia: Cram it, piano teeth.

Quote from Rose

Dorothy: Oh, look, look. There's Guy Corbin. Oh, what a hunk.
Rose: Oh, that man makes my Ovaltine boil.
Guy Corbin: Good morning, ladies. Welcome to our show. I'm Guy Corbin. And this morning, I've arranged something especially for you. Fresh ground coffee and prune Danish. Tiffany, why don't you tell them all about it right now.

Quote from Sophia

Guy Corbin: Say, it's time to play Grab That Dough. Hands on buzzers. Let's begin with our trivia lightning round. What famous Tennessee Williams play was recently made into a film by Paul Newman? Willard.
Willard:Oh, I'm sorry.
Guy Corbin: Rose.
Rose: Was it The Glass Menagerie?
Guy Corbin: That's correct for 100 points. What innovative industrialist invented the assembly line? Willard.
Willard: I'm sorry, I did it again.
Guy Corbin: Sophia.
Sophia: Henry Ford.
Guy Corbin: That's correct.

Quote from Dorothy

Guy Corbin: For another 100 points, who is the current Secretary of State?
Willard: Charles Schulz.
Dorothy: He created Peanuts.
Willard: I thought that was George Washington Carver.
Dorothy: Willard, don't ever touch your buzzer again.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, you're still mad at me, aren't you?
Sophia: Dorothy, you let greed cloud your judgment. Money blinded you. You turned your back on the people you love. You did a terrible, terrible thing. It's unforgivable.
Dorothy: Ma, isn't there anything I can do to make it up to you?
Sophia: Give me $100.
Dorothy: Make it 50.
Sophia: Done, I love you.

Quote from Sophia

Sophia: Hang on to your cannolis, because the four of us are gonna be contestants on Grab That Dough.
Dorothy: Grab That Do- Ma, do you mean that ridiculous game show where people humiliate themselves for the sake of a lousy dollar?
Sophia: That's the one. [all yelling]

Quote from Rose

Blanche: I think my purse is missing, too.
Rose: So is mine! Girls, you know what this means? Somebody snuck in here while we were asleep and-
All: Grabbed our dough!

Quote from Sophia

Sophia: Dorothy, I'm in the ladies room, I look in my brassiere, what do you think I find?
Dorothy: Hopefully, what we all find when we look in our brassieres.
Sophia: Please, I haven't been able to find those since I nursed your brother Phil. But I did find the tickets to the game show.
