Quote from Sophia in Second Motherhood

Sophia: Dorothy, I got to talk to you. I owe you a big apology.
Dorothy: For what, Ma?
Sophia: For what I said before. About you not knowing a thing about plumbing. Dorothy, you're a genius.
Dorothy: Ma, wait a minute. What are you talking about?
Sophia: I walk into the living room and there's a toilet in front of the television set. It's an old lady's dream come true!

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.
