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.

Quote from Dorothy
