Sophia Quote #737

Quote from Sophia in Blanche's Little Girl

Sophia: Oh, boy. What a day.
Dorothy: What happened, Ma? Butch and Sundance steal your seat on the bus?
Sophia: I had a miserable day at work. That stupid manager docked me a half day's pay because I said hello to the customers.
Rose: You're not allowed to say hello?
Sophia: Not at Pecos Pete's Chow Wagon. You have to say howdy. As a matter of fact, you have to say, "Howdy, partner? How about a saddlebag of fries with that ranch house burger?" I don't know why it doesn't trip naturally off my tongue.
Rose: Sophia, they took half your day's pay just for that?
Sophia: This manager is a shark. He's buckin' for supervisor. He told Mildred and Edna they could only take ten-minute bathroom breaks.
Dorothy: Well, Ma, that's not unreasonable.
Sophia: Please! They're 85. It takes Mildred ten minutes to roll down her stockings.

Quote from Sophia

Sophia: Wait, McCracken. Before you begin, I wanna tell you something. I'm no novice when it comes to negotiations.
Mr. McCracken: Oh, really?
Sophia: Let me tell you a story. Picture it: Sicily, 1922. An attractive peasant girl, who has saved her lira, embarks on a glorious vacation to a Crimean resort on the Black Sea. For weeks, she frolics at the seaside resort and enjoys the company of many young men, all of whom adore her.
Edna: All of them?
Sophia: Shut up, Edna. I work alone. All of them. When it's time to return to Sicily, three different suitors beg her to stay. But she can't decide who to choose, so she chooses none of them. But she agrees to meet with them at the same resort many years later. To her trio of suitors, that eventful gathering was referred to as "Rendezvous With Sophia." But to the rest of the world, it was better known as the Yalta Conference.

Quote from Rose

Rose: Boy, I remember when I was a little girl when we'd get depressed. Grandma could always cheer us up. She'd take out her dentures and she'd take a healthy swig from the aquarium, and then she'd put a flashlight under her chin and we could watch the goldfish swim from cheek to cheek. We could've watched it all day. But visiting hours were only from 10 to 4.

Quote from Sophia

Sophia: Now I understand why she's sleeping in Blanche's bed. We know it can support the weight of an average female and two Venezuelan soccer players.
