Quote from Sophia in Never Yell Fire in a Crowded Retirement Home

Sophia: [singing] There's no one in the place except you and me. That's what we were singing that night. We were having a couple of Nyquil shooters and singing "One For My Baby." I remember.
Dorothy: Ma, you do?
Sophia: Yeah. I heard a smoke alarm, looked up, and saw flames coming out of the heater. Maria was confused. I grabbed her and the hot plate and ran out. It was the heater.
Herb Shrewsbury: Are you sure?
Rose: Sure I'm sure. It was the heater.
Herb Shrewsbury: You dig up that hot plate, Sophia, we'll go to the D.A. I think we've got enough evidence to get these charges dropped.
Dorothy: Ma, I am so proud of you. Now, honey, if you could just remember where you left the hot plate.
Sophia: I used it recently. Think, Sophia, think.
Rose: What's that smell? [alarm beeping]
Blanche: My God. That's the smoke alarm in Sophia's room.
Rose: Oh, no!
Sophia: Oh, yeah. Anyone for s'mores?

Quote from Blanche

Herb Shrewsbury: Well, the trial is set for a month from now, so I'm going to need some character witnesses.
Blanche: Maybe you should start by interviewing me. I would make a wonderful witness. I can't tell you how many times I've been badgered by lawyers. Well, I could, but it might sound like boasting.

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Hey, I have an idea. Let's have a getting-out-of-prison party. See, everybody can pretend they've been locked up for about three years and they have all this pent-up sexual energy. Everybody's all pumped up because all you ever do in prison is lift weights, so we'll get all those muscle guys with homemade tattoos... What are you looking at?

Quote from Sophia

Herb Shrewsbury: You did a good job, ladies, but let's not forget there still has to be a trial, and Mrs. Heartgrove's confession is pretty strong. I just wish we had something that reflected on her credibility.
Sophia: What if we had a video of her and a friend mooning a hot dog vendor?
Herb Shrewsbury: That would totally discredit her.
Sophia: Wait a minute. I just remembered who the friend was. Can't use it. Moving on.
