Quote from Sophia in A Piece of Cake

Rose: Well, let's take it in the living room. Roberta's going to be here any minute.
Blanche: Oh, I just hope she's surprised. That's the best part of a birthday when you're really surprised.
Dorothy, Rose & Sophia: Surprise!
Blanche: What?
Dorothy: Happy birthday, Blanche.
Blanche: But but my birthday's not till next week.
Rose: We know. But you said after the last time we'd never be able to surprise you again.
Sophia: We figured this was the only way to do it.
Blanche: Oh, you really did a great job. I don't know what to say.
Sophia: Say it's conga time!
[As conga music starts, a procession of men make their way into the living room]

Sophia: That's not a wart, that's a beauty mark!
