Quote from Sophia in Second Motherhood

Dorothy: Rose, tell me something. How difficult would it be for us to repair that bathroom ourselves?
Rose: Well, it wouldn't be difficult at all.
Dorothy: Oh forget it, forget it. It's a crazy idea.
Sophia: You got that right. You're not a mechanical person, Dorothy. You never were. For the first three months of your life, you tried to breast-feed off my cameo.

Quote from Dorothy

Blanche: Well, I just hate myself for feeling this way, but I don't want to be a mother again. I mean, it was a wonderful experience at the time, but I always thought this part of my life was supposed to be for me.
Dorothy: Honey, I understand exactly how you feel. I feel the same way. You know, at our age we should be grandmothers, not mothers. Once a week, the grandchildren come over for a visit. You cook them dinner, they spill it on the furniture. They hide under your bed. You hurt yourself looking for them. They ask you what those spots on your hands are. They tell you they love you and then just before total exhaustion sets in, they go home and become their mother's problems.

Quote from Dorothy

Rose: You're a wonderful plumber's assistant, Dorothy. Boy, you sure know your way around a snake.
Dorothy: I've had a lot of experience. After all, I was married to one for 38 years.
