Sophia Quote #1504
Quote from Sophia in The Mangiacavallo Curse Makes a Lousy Wedding Present
Mangiacavallo: Sophia, please. Joey's alone in the bridal suite, the bride is who knows where, and the band doesn't even know "Volare." You've got to do something about the curse, Sophia.
Sophia: Oh, so now you believe?
Mangiacavallo: I guess you can't get away from your roots.
Sophia: Why should I do this for you? First you left me at the altar, you shamed me, you shamed my father. You left me with a sullied reputation.
Mangiacavallo: But we didn't do anything.
Sophia: Well, how do you think that made me look?
Mangiacavallo: I was a kid. I was scared that if I got married and had a family, I never would get out of that village. Leaving you was the toughest thing that I ever did.
Sophia: Yeah. I was quite a dish back then.
Mangiacavallo: Longest legs of any girl in the village.

Quote from Sophia
Sophia: When I was 14 in Sicily, my father arranged a marriage with a neighbor's son. My dowry was two chickens, a ladle and a goat to be named later.
Dorothy: We came from a wealthy family.
Sophia: But the day of my wedding, as I stood at the altar, the boy I was to marry was on a cattle boat headed for America. That night, on a tear-stained pillow, I put a curse on him.
Rose: A curse?
Sophia: Nothing fancy. I remember I said, "Giuseppe Mangiacavallo, from this day forward, may you and all your future generations never know true love. May you be sterile, and may all your offspring be sterile. May your hair never lie flat, and may your socks always slip down inside your shoes."
