Quote from Sophia in Rites of Spring

Dorothy: Hi, Ma. What are you eating?
Sophia: Ziti.
Dorothy: Ma, it's nine o'clock in the morning. You're eating a bowl of pasta?
Sophia: No, I'm eating a bowl of Nabisco Zitios. Of course I'm eating pasta. I need to gain weight. I'm wasting away, Dorothy.
Dorothy: What do you mean?
Sophia: I got weighed this morning. I couldn't believe what I saw. 98lbs.
Dorothy: What do you usually weigh?
Sophia: 99.
Dorothy: Ma, you lost one pound. Thank you, Rene Descartes. I'm looking for advice, not arithmetic.

Quote from Dorothy

Blanche: Dorothy, do you realize it's only two weeks till Phyllis's Memorial Day beach party? That means there's only two weeks till we have to get back into bathing suits again. Well, I just slipped into last year's bikini and I think I look pretty good, but you give me your honest advice. Can I still pull it off?
Dorothy: Right now I'd be surprised if you could cut if off.

Quote from Dorothy

Sophia: This cake is guaranteed to make me gain back that pound.
Dorothy: Ma, all this eating you're doing is ridiculous. Now, I am sure you are already back up to 99lbs.
Sophia: We'll see. Wrong again, Kreskin. Still 98.
Blanche: 98 pounds. I can't remember the last time I weighed 98. Probably college.
Dorothy: Where'd you go to college, Blanche? The University of Jupiter?
