Sophia Quote #122

Quote from Sophia in The Heart Attack

Rose: Did you have a nice nap, Sophia?
Sophia: I didn't have a nap. I died a little. I went to heaven.
Dorothy: Oh, Ma. You just slept, is all.
Sophia: You were there? Don't tell me where I went. I went to heaven. I saw the golden light and some angels in white robes with harps. I thought I was at Saks at Christmas, but then I saw your father.
Dorothy: Really?
Sophia: He was surrounded by women. He's in heaven.
Rose: Did you see God and Jesus?
Sophia: They were busy. I think I'll go back.
Dorothy: Ma, don't go.
Sophia: No, Dorothy. It's a wonderful place. I'm very excited about it.
Dorothy: Ma, I want you here.
Blanche: Sophia, are there lots of men in heaven?
Sophia: Oh, Blanche.
Blanche: I'd like to know.
Sophia: Dorothy, get me my rosary.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: My grandparents lived till their 90s. One was 102.
Blanche: In Minnesota.
Rose: So?
Blanche: Rose, you know how they freeze dead people to preserve them and then bring them back? That's like living in Minnesota. The cold slows down the aging process. I would move there in a shot if only they had men there.
Rose: We have men in Minnesota.
Blanche: Farmers, Rose. Farmers.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: This is a very depressing conversation.

Rose: Why Arlington Cemetery?
Blanche: Because it's full of men.
Rose: But they're all dead.
Blanche: So are the men I date.

Sophia: You're Scandinavian. What do you know, a thousand ways to make herring?
Rose: Well, not a thousand, but a lot, and I'm famous for my Lindstrom surprise.

Dorothy: Oh, what fun!
Rose: It was. My cat was named Lindstrom. I used to make it for him on his birthday and other holidays.
Blanche: Wait, your last name was Lindstrom. You named your cat Lindstrom Lindstrom?
