Sophia Quote #1772
Quote from Sophia in Older and Wiser
Mr. Porter: Sophia, this is the final warning. I don't want anything like this happening again.
Sophia: Mr. Porter, you hired me to do a job, and I'm gonna do it my way.
Mr. Porter: OK, that's it. Charade's over.
Sophia: What's he talkin' about?
Mr. Porter: Sophia, you're not the activities director. You're here because your daughter wanted us to keep an eye on you and I'm afraid we cannot do that anymore. Ms. Zbornak, please don't bring her back.
Sophia: Keep an eye on me? Is that true?
Dorothy: Look, Ma, I'm not gonna lie to you. This man is a patient here. He could be dangerous. Let's get out of here before he starts causing trouble.
Sophia: Dorothy.
Dorothy: OK, OK. I thought you needed looking after during the day when I wasn't around, and I knew you wouldn't agree to come here as a guest-
Sophia: So you're saying that this whole activities director thing was a put-up job?
Dorothy: Mostly his idea. Oh, Ma, I did it for your own good
Sophia: Nobody bothered to consult me about what was for my own good. So goodbye, Mr. Porter. Goodbye, Dorothy. Thank you both for making me look like an old fool.

Rose: Well, it wasn't unnatural in St. Olaf. We not only took care of our old people, we revered them, honored them, put them on a pedestal. 'Course, that's how we got to be the broken hip capital of the Midwest.
Quote from Dorothy
Dorothy: I have to go to work, and I don't want you to worry about me. I'm going to say to you what you said to me the very first day you dropped me off at school. "See if you can find someone who looks clean to drive you home."
Quote from Blanche
Dorothy: What's wrong?
Blanche: I will tell you what's wrong. I took Rose here on my shoot today, and they want to use her hands. Imagine. They want to use my face but her hands. Can you believe it? This is the most humiliating thing that's ever happened to me.
Dorothy: Ah, how quickly you forget the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
Blanche: Big deal. 80,000 people had to wait 20 minutes. The torch eventually got there, didn't it?
