Sophia Quote #596
Quote from Sophia in Old Friends
Dorothy: Ma, please. Will you let me say what I have to say?
Sophia: Maybe I don't want to hear what you have to say. Maybe I'm happy not knowing anything.
Dorothy: Or maybe you know already.
Sophia: I'm not stupid. I could see there was something about Alvin that wasn't right.
Dorothy: Ma, he has Alzheimer's disease. I met his daughter down at the boardwalk. She said that when he first started wandering off, she followed him everywhere. She took a leave of absence from her job so she could take care of him. But she's not gonna be able to afford that much longer. Uh, the family's discussed sending him to New York. He has a nephew who's a doctor there and can give him special care. And Ma, Sandra says that within the next couple of months, they're gonna do that.
Sophia: You know, Dorothy, people think if you live to be my age, you should be grateful just to be alive. Well, that's not how it works. You need a reason to get up in the morning. And sometimes even after you find one, life can turn right around and spit in your face.
Dorothy: I'm sorry, Ma.
Sophia: A few months, huh? That should give me enough time to finish the scarf.

Quote from Blanche
Blanche: Dorothy, I have a confession to make. Rose didn't lose Fernando. I gave him to Daisy when she was helping out with the rummage sale.
Dorothy: Well, then, there's no problem, honey. Just call Daisy and get Fernando back. She's a very sweet kid. She'll understand.
Blanche: I tried that. She said no.
Dorothy: What do you mean?
Blanche: She's not a sweet kid anymore. She's holding Fernando for ransom.
Dorothy: Come on.
Blanche: Dorothy, she sent me one of his ears!
Quote from Blanche
Dorothy: It's very sweet of you to give up your Saturday to help with this fundraiser.
Daisy: That's what being a Sunshine Cadet is all about.
Blanche: I know, and I so admire your motto: "Spread it around."
Dorothy: That's sunshine, Blanche. "Spread sunshine around."
Blanche: Whatever.
Quote from Rose
Dorothy: Well, kid, what do you want?
Daisy: I changed my mind. I was wrong to ask for all those gifts.
Blanche: Dorothy, you see, I knew she'd come to her senses.
Daisy: I decided cash is better. That way I can buy exactly what I want.
Blanche: I'll get my purse.
Rose: No. Blanche, I'm not gonna let you do that. I've been doing a lot of thinking. If after all the years of love and companionship Fernando and I are meant to part company. I'll just have to accept that. Time to time, life deals you an unfriendly hand. There's nothing you can do about it. I guess there's a lesson to be learned here. [Rose places her hands on Daisy's shoulder and guides her towards the door] Sometimes, life just isn't fair, kiddo. [Rose grabs the teddy bear and pushes Daisy out the door]
