Sophia Quote #1406

Quote from Sophia in Triple Play

Dorothy: Ma, I want you to promise that you'll send this money back to the government.
Sophia: They're not good with money - they can't handle it. They spent $400 for a toilet seat!
Dorothy: You know, Ma, I'm really surprised at you. When I was a little girl, you told me how much it meant to you when you came here to America for the first time. Do you remember what you thought of when you first saw the Statue of Liberty holding up her torch of freedom?
Sophia: I was amazed.
Dorothy: You see?
Sophia: I was amazed that women in this country shaved under their arms.
Dorothy: Ma, you told me how much America meant to you, how wonderful America was, how nice it is to be in a country that doesn't care about soccer. That money belongs to America. Ma, you have America's money and you have to give it back.
Sophia: Dorothy, please-
Dorothy: Look, Ma, you taught me to love this country. You were the first one to make me feel proud of being an American. You were the first one who put an American flag in my hand. Ma, why don't you take a moment and think what America has given you?
Sophia: Besides this 170 grand? All right. All right, all right, I'll send it back. All of it?
Dorothy: Yes, Ma, all of it.
Sophia: OK, OK. I just hope they want it back after an 83-year-old woman rolled around in it naked.

 ‘Triple Play’ Quotes

Quote from Rose

Rose: I am so glad to finally meet you. Lunch is all set up out on the lanai. Your father says you're a classical musician. What do you play?
Caroline: The English horn.
Rose: I didn't know horns had nationalities. But I guess it makes sense. If jumping beans can be Mexican and fire drills can be Chinese and flies can be Spanish.

Quote from Sophia

Rose: You're not having company, are you, Blanche? Because I want everything to go smoothly for Miles and Caroline. It's a big step, meeting a man's family.
Blanche: Don't worry about it, honey. Men will be over, but they'll be in and out all day.
Dorothy: Don't say it, Ma.
Sophia: I have to, Dorothy. At my age, when you don't say it, it can back up on you and come out some other way.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, I wanna know, where did you get the money?
Sophia: The government has been kinder and gentler by sending me more social security checks than they used to.
Dorothy: The computer made a mistake. Ma, that money doesn't belong to you. Now, how much are we talking about?
Sophia: Enough to have you rubbed out if you rat on me.
Dorothy: Ma!
Sophia: So far, 170 grand. But I haven't checked today's mail.
