Quote from Sophia in The Flu

Sophia: By the way, I just called Harriet McConnell to cancel your reservations to the banquet.
Dorothy: Oh, thanks, Ma.
Sophia: She was very disappointed you all aren't coming. And I think it's because one of you won the big award.
Rose: You mean the Best Friend of the Friends of Good Health Award?
Sophia: Yeah.
Blanche: Why, what'd she say?
Sophia: It wasn't what she said, it was what she didn't say.
Rose: What didn't she say?
Sophia: How the hell do I know? She didn't say it!

Quote from Sophia

Blanche: You don't have to worry about me. I never get sick. I take very good care of myself. I treat my body like a temple.
Sophia: Yeah, open to everyone, day or night.

Quote from Sophia

Sophia: In Sicily, we never went to the doctor. We went to the Widow Caravelle. Whatever you had, she had a cure. She was best known for this green salve she used to make to treat ear infections. One day, she gave a batch to Salvadore, the village idiot. He misunderstood the directions and put it on his linguine instead of in his ear.
Dorothy: I guess if you're an idiot with a hearing problem, you do things like that.
Sophia: As it turns out, it wasn't such a bad thing to do. The stuff tasted great and Salvadore decided to market it. At first, it didn't move so well. Linguine With Ear Salve on a menu doesn't look too appetizing. But once he changed the name to pesto sauce, it moved like hotcakes.
Dorothy: Ma, you're making this up!
Sophia: So what? I'm old, I'm supposed to be colorful.

Quote from Sophia

Blanche: Girls, I did it! I finally broke down and bought that dress I've been eyeing for a month.
Dorothy: I thought you were gonna wear the silk one you wore to last year's banquet.
Blanche: I changed my mind. I decided too many people would recognize it. It is such a stunning shade of green.
Sophia: The only thing they'll remember is the way you fall out of it.
Blanche: Oh, Sophia!
Sophia: If you asked people the color, half of them would say flesh-tone.
