Sophia Quote #82
Quote from Sophia in The Competition
Dorothy: It's a shame he has to go back to Sicily so soon. It would have been nice if the two of you had more time together.
Sophia: I'm glad you said that because he wants me to go back with him.
Dorothy: What?
Sophia: Not for good. Just for the San Genero festival. That's where we met, 65 years ago. I want to go back.
Dorothy: Oh, gee, Ma. I'm sorry, honey, but I can't let you go.
Sophia: Who's asking your permission? I'm going anyway.
Dorothy: Ma, look, I absolutely forbid it! Come on, you've had a stroke, you have high blood pressure. It would be lunacy to risk your health this way! Listen, you are not the woman you used to be. I'd feel terrible if something happened to you.
Sophia: At my age, I can't worry about that. This is special. I've made up my mind! I'm going.
Dorothy: Oh, then I'm wasting my breath. You're a grown woman. I can't tell you what to do.
Sophia: I know. Now lend me $1,200 for the airfare.

Quote from Blanche
Dorothy: So who did you sign me up to bowl with?
Rose: Oh, I wanted to talk to you about that.
Blanche: [entering] Well, I am stunned! Just stunned! Stunned is the only way to describe how stunned I am!
Dorothy: Just a minute, just a minute, Blanche. Are you trying to tell us that you are stunned?
Quote from Rose
Rose: Oh, look, I know you're both still angry with me and you have every right to be, but I hope you can forgive me for the way I acted. Winning doesn't mean anything if it means losing your two best friends. Besides, we all bowled well this year. That's why I had all our names engraved on this trophy. In my opinion, we're all winners.
Blanche: Well, Rose. What a sweet thing to do.
Dorothy: Oh, Rose, can I ask you a question?
Rose: Sure.
Dorothy: Why is your name three times larger than ours?
Rose: Because I'm the one who actually won it. If you ever want to look at it, it'll be in my bedroom.
Quote from Dorothy
Dorothy: You go get 'em, Blanche. Blanche? Blanche?
Blanche: I'm fine. I just feel a little cold and clammy and just a little short of breath.
Dorothy: Now you just settle down, you hear me? Settle down.
Blanche: Don't make me do this, Dorothy.This ball feels like it weighs about 100 pounds.
Dorothy: Honey, I sympathize with you. Anyone who has ever competed understands what you're going through. Listen, sweetheart, if you don't feel like bowling, you don't have to.
Blanche: Oh, good.
Dorothy: You just hold onto the ball and I'll throw you down the alley.
