Sophia Quote #909

Quote from Sophia in The Days and Nights of Sophia Petrillo

Mrs. Leonard: Any flowers for me today?
Sophia: No.
Mrs. Leonard: Are you sure? The name's Leonard.
Sophia: I know your name. You ask me every day if I have flowers for you, and the answer is always no. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I made a mistake. There are flowers for you today.
Mrs. Leonard: Really? Which one?
Sophia: All of them, and the balloons too. There's no one here to deliver them right now, so you leave your walker here and just wheel these to your room.
Mrs. Leonard: Oh, thank you.
Sophia: No! Thank you!

Quote from Dorothy

Rose: Whatever happened to her?
Dorothy: She colonized life on Venus. Rose, she was 94 when I was six. She died, you idiot.
Rose: How did she die?
Dorothy: You know, we're not sure. One night she left in her wheelchair and she never came back. The next day the neighborhood kids had a go-kart with two really big back wheels.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: It's a shame Sophia has nothing constructive to do anymore. She needs something to make her feel more fulfilled.
Blanche: Well, I'll tell you what would make her feel more fulfilled-
Dorothy & Rose: Blanche!
Blanche: A hobby.
Rose: Oh, I thought you meant, you know, a man.
Blanche: You got a better hobby?

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, where you going?
Sophia: To the market.
Rose: Why are you going in the rain?
Sophia: The market's in Miami. If it was in Phoenix, I'd be going in the sun.
Blanche: Now, Sophia, Rose asked a perfectly sensible question.
Sophia: Am I the only one she caught by surprise? Rose, I'm gonna buy a nectarine. I go to the market every day to buy a nectarine. At 82, that's life, a round trip on the number 6 bus to buy a nectarine.
Rose: That's so sad.
Sophia: Not sad. Life. Sad is when you have to mash the nectarine with a fork.
