Sophia Quote #1033

Quote from Sophia in The Auction

Blanche: No, I know what you meant, Dorothy. You mean the reason we can't sleep is 'cause we feel guilty about profiting from Jasper DeKimmel's impending death.
Rose: I feel creepy every time I think about it.
Dorothy: Oh, me too. Look, why don't we just forget the whole thing?
Sophia: What? No one's calling anything off. It's not our fault the man is sick. It's not our fault the man is getting weaker by the hour. It's not our fault he needs a rare blood transfusion.
Blanche: Did you say a rare blood transfusion?
Sophia: Yeah, I overheard the doctors talking. In a day or two he'll be plant food.

Dorothy: Ma, what the hell are you talking about? You're not making any sense.
Sophia: I was hoping the late hour would help to mask that. I don't have a story about taking advantage of a dead guy for money. I got a great story about a Moroccan and a monkey, but that really comes under the heading of lust.

Quote from Rose

Blanche: Girls, look, a mime.
Rose: Oh, I just love a mime. It's all on account of my Uncle Gustav. He was a coal mimer.
Blanche: You mean a coal miner.
Rose: No, a coal mimer. You see, he had a bad back and he didn't want to lose his medical benefits, so every morning he'd go down the shaft and pretend to work.
