Sophia Quote #1039
Quote from Sophia in The Auction
Sid LaBass: I'd give anything to own a painting like that.
Blanche: How about that painting for a new roof?
Sid LaBass: You're kidding.
Sophia: Of course she's kidding. That painting means everything to me. I could never part with it.
Rose: Sophia! Are you crazy?
Sophia: Crazy about DeKimmel.
Sid LaBass: Ma'am, would you be insulted if I made you an offer for that painting?
Sophia: Please! I'm insulted by that shirt you're wearing. That doesn't mean we can't do business. Talk to me, Sidney.
Sid LaBass: Well, what about a new roof with a five-year warranty?
Sophia: And $2500.
Sid LaBass: In cash?
Sophia: No, in pistachio nuts. Of course. Cash, today. Tomorrow the price goes up. DeKimmel isn't getting any younger.
Sid LaBass: Well, $2500 seems a little steep.
Sophia: $3,000. You ticked me off. [exits]
Dorothy: Now you're watching a real artist at work.

Dorothy: Oh, morning, Ma. You sleep OK?
Sophia: No. I got up in the middle of the night and there was a puddle in my bed. Do you know how relieved I was to find out the roof was leaking?
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Let me tell you a story. Picture it. Sardinia, 1932.
Blanche: I thought these stories of yours always took place in Sicily.
Sophia: Can't a person go away for the weekend? Anyway, I'm on a tour of the great caper factories of Sardinia. I was a kooky kid going through my piccata period. A wedge of lemon and a smart answer for everything. Anyway, I was I was slicing an onion when suddenly this big basil tree--
Dorothy: Ma, what the hell are you talking about? You're not making any sense.
Sophia: I was hoping the late hour would help to mask that. I don't have a story about taking advantage of a dead guy for money. I got a great story about a Moroccan and a monkey, but that really comes under the heading of lust.
Quote from Rose
Blanche: Girls, look, a mime.
Rose: Oh, I just love a mime. It's all on account of my Uncle Gustav. He was a coal mimer.
Blanche: You mean a coal miner.
Rose: No, a coal mimer. You see, he had a bad back and he didn't want to lose his medical benefits, so every morning he'd go down the shaft and pretend to work.
