Sophia Quote #834
Quote from Sophia in Larceny and Old Lace
Rocco: Sophia, I'm disappointed.
Sophia: Not half as disappointed as I am. I admit, at times, your stories about being a big-shot gangster seemed colorful to me, but I figured you weren't that guy anymore. And if you are, you're not for me.
Rocco: I wish you'd have told me that before. Sophia, I have some confessions to make to you. I was never a big-shot gangster. I was never a big-shot nothin'. All I was was an assistant cook at chowder house in Bayonne, New Jersey. Not the kind of fella you're used to goin' with. I didn't wanna lose ya. That's why I made up those stories of the bank robbery. $45,000 was my life savings. I thought with that money I could I could treat you like you oughta be treated. Like a queen.
Sophia: I can't believe this.
Rocco: I can't believe it either. There's a gate. I could've got a hernia comin' over the wall! Wait a minute. Look, I've messed everything up. I'll just get out of your life.
Sophia: What I can't believe is that you went through all this. Rocco, you always treat me like a queen. Come here.

Quote from Dorothy
Blanche: What's the most romantic thing a man did for you, Dorothy?
Dorothy: Oh, well, the most romantic thing was when Stan proposed. He took me to a very expensive restaurant, and I went to the powder room, and when I returned, there was an open bottle of Dom Perignon and two filled glasses. And we clinked the glasses in a toast, and Stan gave me a coy smile, and I winked at him, and then I just downed the champagne in one gulp. And it didn't go down smoothly. Later, Stan told me that he put my engagement ring in the bottom of the glass.
Rose: Aw. Aw.
Dorothy: It turned up three days later.
Rose: Where'd it turn up, Dorothy?
Dorothy: On the Home Shopping Network, Rose!
Quote from Blanche
Rose: Blanche, what was the most romantic thing a man ever did for you?
Blanche: Oh, that's easy. When George and I were courting and it was getting to the intimate stage, we went for a date in his big old Packard. Well, halfway home, we ran outta gas. It was dark, it was cold. So we held each other close. Both of us knew, right then and there, this was the night. Sure enough, pretty soon the windows were all fogged up from the heat generated by our bodies. After we were married, I told George that the only thing that could've made that evening more romantic was if we'd had candles and wine and a big blanket. So, on our tenth anniversary, George fired up the old Packard, and we drove along the same route as on that date, and, would't you know, we ran out of gas on exactly the same spot. Well, George said, "Blanche, why don't you look behind that tree?" So I did, and there was a basket with candles and wine and two long-stem glasses and a big blanket. We had a perfect evening.
Dorothy: Oh. Oh, that is beautiful, Blanche.
Rose: But isn't it a shame you didn't look behind the tree the first time? You could have had two perfect dates.
Quote from Sophia
