Rose Quote #571

Quote from Rose in Brother, Can You Spare That Jacket?

Rose: Were you kidding me about being from Minnesota?
Ben: Absolutely not. I spent 22 years working the prime noon-to-eight shift at the Minneapolis Excelsior Hotel.
Rose: I don't believe it. Where did you live in Minneapolis?
Ben: Oh, 22 years, lots of places, but my last home was near the intersection of Bartholomew and Third.
Rose: Oh, that's a lovely neighborhood. Why did you leave?
Ben: Well, I liked to entertain a lot, but the cardboard box I was living in was only suitable for small dinner parties.

Dorothy: Who's the letter from, Ma?
Sophia: Joanne Pescatore. She's coming to Miami for a visit.

Sophia: That was Jeanette Passadano.
Dorothy: Oh. Then who was Joanne Pescatore?
Sophia: How the hell should I know? This letter's for Rose.

Quote from Sophia

Sophia: Boy, we had some great times at the home, didn't we, Ida?
Ida: We sure did.
Sophia: Dorothy, Ida was the best bar none at faking an angina attack at dinner so we could swap our nonfat yogurt for real sour cream. There wasn't a patient at Shady Pines that didn't bless Ida every time we sat down to eat a baked potato.

Quote from Sophia

Blanche: How does this go again? To win something, you have to get three to match?
Rose: Right. If you get three coconuts, you win $100.
Dorothy: What if you get three palm trees?
Sophia: You don't have three palm trees. That means you win $10,000.
Dorothy: Ma, I know what a palm tree looks like.
Sophia: You also know what a handsome doctor looks like. It doesn't mean you've got one.
