Quote from Sophia in An Illegitimate Concern
Dorothy: I'm sorry, Ma.
Sophia: Sorry enough to be in the Shady Pines mother-daughter beauty pageant?
Dorothy: Ma, you hate Shady Pines. Why do you want to go back?
Sophia: Two words. Gladys Goldfine.
Dorothy: Ma, just because you don't like the woman doesn't mean that we have to embarrass ourselves in public.

Dorothy: Ma, that's very sweet, but I still-
Sophia: And then I thought, "Wait. Your sister Gloria is in California." So it's you or nothing.

Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Please, Dorothy. If we win this thing, I can die a happy woman.
Dorothy: Ma, I refuse to be a part of your neurotic need to be number one. Now, just let it go.
Sophia: How many challenges do I have left in life? Seeing if I can get more than halfway across the street before the "Don't Walk" sign comes on. Trying to stay awake on the john. Hoping it is the john. Competition is the thing that keeps me going. But, if you want me to let it go.

Blanche: Rose. No encyclopedia salesman lugs around 26 volumes door-to-door.
Rose: Are you kidding? In St. Olaf they carry 52.
Blanche: Why?
