Quote from Sophia in Love Me Tender

Sophia: Oh, just getting in? Listen, if you three are just gonna use this place days, would you mind if I got one of those medical emergency beepers? I'd feel terrible if one morning you came home one morning and found me on the doorstep instead of the Miami Herald.
Dorothy: Ma, it's not gonna work. I do not feel guilty about staying out all night and I do not feel guilty about Eddie.
Sophia: Don't underestimate me. I could make you feel guilty about bombing Pearl Harbor if I wanted.

Dorothy: That's very interesting. Maybe I could get involved with that. How about you, Blanche?
Blanche: Sure. Why, nothing would be more satisfying than to be of loving service to a lonely, motherless child.
Of course, I'll have to see pictures of the father before I commit.

Quote from Rose

Eddie: I'm sorry. I'm still not really recovered. You see, after 25 years of marriage, my wife Roberta sent me a Dear John letter.
Rose: That's terrible. Married 25 years and she doesn't know your name is Eddie?
