Dorothy Quote #142

Quote from Dorothy in The Operation

Dorothy: It's a very small tumor, Ma. I've had it for about 20 years.
Sophia: A tumor? It sounds serious.
Dorothy: No, no, no! It's a very simple surgical procedure. As a matter of fact, I'd only be in the hospital overnight.
Sophia: That's it?
Dorothy: That's it.
Rose: Oh, what a relief.
Blanche: So when are you gonna have the surgery?
Dorothy: Never.
Blanche: Honey, you just now said yourself it's a very simple procedure.
Dorothy: Oh, it is, for the doctor. But it happens to be my foot that he wants to cut open.

Quote from Rose

Rose: Hey, we've all got our sad stories.
Blanche: What?
Rose: Look, Blanche, we've practiced for six weeks. We've paid for our costumes, we told everybody we'd be there! You're not gonna wimp out on me. You're gonna go to that recital. If you end up in a puddle tonight, well, you'd just better break into "Singin' in the Rain"!

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Rose, I have a confession to make. Flying isn't the only thing I'm afraid of. I also have a fear of performing. In front of groups, that is.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: I know what she means, Ma. I just don't need to hear it the night before surgery!
Sophia: Come on, don't be such a baby! I had my appendix out in a hospital in Sicily. That was rough!
Rose: Why?
Sophia: They didn't believe in anesthesia back then. They had a nurse hold a pillow over your face so the other patients couldn't hear your screams. You had to pay extra for that. Sicily, love it or leave it.
