Sophia Quote #1078
Quote from Sophia in Love Me Tender
Sophia: The point is, I don't want you to feel guilty. There's nothing wrong with a physical relationship.
Dorothy: Well, then, what about what you said last night?
Sophia: If you had let me finish my thought, Colonel Gaddafi, you might have understood. I said I thought this kind of relationship was wrong for you.
Dorothy: Well, it's not.
Sophia: Dorothy, I'm your mother. I know you. You're a loving and sensitive person. But this isn't gonna be enough someday. You'll be bored and dissatisfied and you'll end up unhappy. I'd hate to see that happen to you, pussycat. But if you think you can handle that, just look me straight in the eye and I'll drop the whole thing.
Dorothy: Ma, I can handle that.
Sophia: Both eyes.
Dorothy: Oh, Ma, I hate it when you're right, and I guess I knew you were right all along.

Quote from Rose
Blanche: I guess it's just like that old saying: opposites attract.
Rose: Oh, that's very true. Back in St. Olaf, Ollie Canudenspringle and his wife Bridget were opposites in every way. I mean, he was fat, she was thin. He was neat, she was sloppy. He was tall, she was short. He was cheap, she was extravagant. He was...
Sophia: Opposites. We get the picture.
Rose: Well, anyway, I'll never forget the time they sang at our annual talent show, right after the herring juggling act.
Blanche: You mean to tell me that somebody actually juggled herring.
Rose: No. It was the herring who did the juggling. Tiny little Ginsu knives. Really very dangerous. I mean, one false move, they could have filleted themselves.
Quote from Blanche
Rose: Oh, the "Be a Pal" program? Well, each week, you get a motherless girl and be her pal. Help her with her homework and take her to movies and have dinner together.
Dorothy: That's very interesting. Maybe I could get involved with that. How about you, Blanche?
Blanche: Sure. Why, nothing would be more satisfying than to be of loving service to a lonely, motherless child.
Of course, I'll have to see pictures of the father before I commit.
Quote from Rose
Eddie: I'm sorry. I'm still not really recovered. You see, after 25 years of marriage, my wife Roberta sent me a Dear John letter.
Rose: That's terrible. Married 25 years and she doesn't know your name is Eddie?
