Sophia Quote #1730

Quote from Sophia in Miles to Go

Sophia: So, are you reading from a prepared statement, or are you feeling cocky enough to wing it?
Gladys: I came because I was thinking, at our age, the last thing you say to somebody might be the last thing you say. So I just want you to know that I'm sorry, Sophia. I want to take you to the concert.
Sophia: Buby.
Gladys: Faccia bella.
Sophia: Dorothy, learn from this. This is what friendships are built on: loyalty, mutual respect, trust. Give me my ticket. What? Gladys, you yutz. These aren't for Tony Bennett. They're for Tony Martin.
Gladys: Of course they're for Tony Martin. You think I'd camp overnight for tickets to Tony Bennett?
Sophia: Tell you what, sweetheart. Take Milton. Have a swell time. Only this time, don't throw your underwear on the stage.
Gladys: Then why go?
Sophia: Oh, why couldn't they put Tony Bennett and Tony Martin on the same bill? Ah, who am I kidding? There will never be another Woodstock.

Quote from Rose

Miles: I mean, it is amazing, isn't it, how with a few carefully chosen words, a poet can convey the immediacy of a specific life experience?
Rose: You don't have to tell me. Remember, I grew up in a small farm town. "Here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack, quack."

Quote from Rose

Miles: The point is, it all would have been behind me, but he escaped. The government had to put me in the Witness Protection Program. Gave me a new name, new job, whole new identity.
Rose: I don't know what to say. I can't believe this story you're telling.
Dorothy: But you can believe the story about Henrik Felderstuhl, St. Olaf's half-man, half-grasshopper?
Rose: Dorothy, I'm telling you, when he rubbed his legs together, you'd swear you were on a camping trip.

Quote from Sophia

Rose: It's the 117th anniversary of the birth of Robert Frost.
Sophia: I love him. Always nippin' at your nose.
Rose: That was Jack Frost. Robert Frost is the guy who interviewed Richard Nixon on TV. Who's the dumb one now?
Dorothy: Ah, you're still the reigning champ, Rose. That was David Frost. Robert Frost was a famous American poet.
Sophia: And when I was with him, he was always nippin' at my nose. Some people found it obnoxious. For me, it was a turnon.
