Sophia Quote #657
Quote from Sophia in Letter to Gorbachev
Sophia: Everybody's gonna be talking about me when they see what I cooked up for the talent show. I call my new act "Sophia and Sophia." Get a load of this. Uh, hi, Sophia. [as the sock puppet] Oh, hello, Sophia. How are you feeling today? I've got a little arthritis in my neck. I was wondering why my wrist was hurting. What do you think?
Dorothy: Oh, come on, Ma, you could see your lips moving.
Sophia: So?
Blanche: Well, a ventriloquist's lips aren't supposed to move, Sophia.
Sophia: Is that common knowledge?
Dorothy: I'm afraid so, Ma. I mean, otherwise it would just be you talking with a sock on your hand.
Sophia: [to the sock] Tough break, Sophia. One minute you're about to entertain the masses, the next you're back on a foot covering a corn pad. Now you know how Valerie Harper feels.

Quote from Rose
Dorothy: Oh, honey, it's not so uncommon. I mean, kids hear about nuclear war on TV. They read it in the papers. It's part of their lives. They can't help but think about it.
Rose: Oh, it's so sad. When I was eight years old I was just worried about the usual childhood things. How much would the tooth fairy leave me? What would I get from Santa? Would I ever be chosen Small Curd Cottage Cheese Queen.
Blanche: I'm only doing this because I have some more coffee left to drink. Small Curd Cottage Cheese Queen?
Rose: It's our town's biggest honor, right after-
Dorothy & Blanche: Large Curd Cottage Cheese Queen.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Anyway, I've got bigger problems. I don't have an act for the talent show.
Blanche: Talent show? Can I be in it?
Sophia: Blanche, what you're talented at isn't generally done on a stage. This isn't downtown Saigon.
Quote from Blanche
[fantasy:]
Rose: And this is my friend Blanche.
Blanche: Hello, you all. I have had such a great time here that I would like to express my appreciation to Premier Gorbachev on this special day. [singing seductively] Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday Mr. Number One Communist, Happy birthday to you...
