Sophia Quote #1545

Quote from Sophia in Blanche Delivers

Dorothy: Rose, listen, you don't have to do anything to please your parents.
Sophia: She's right. I'd like to be proud of Dorothy for something, but I'm not gonna kill myself if that day never comes.
Rose: But my parents called me "Twinkle Toes."
Sophia: I call Dorothy "Big Foot." That doesn't mean she has to make tracks all over the Northwest.
Dorothy: What Ma is trying to say is that she loves me for what I am.
Sophia: That's right - an over-the-hill schoolteacher who has to wait for the phone to ring to know if she's gonna work that day.

Quote from Dorothy

Dorothy: Oh. It doesn't matter what your parents want. Rose, you're never gonna make them happy. They're just gonna nag you and nag you until you want to grab their throats and choke 'em, but you don't, because you're in a hospital with resuscitating equipment!

Quote from Rose

Rose: I think it's great that you want to have your baby here. Boy, in St. Olaf, the mother was always with the daughter when she gave birth. And if the mother was out of town, then the mother of the father was there. And if she was out of town, then we'd call Lucky Gunther.
Dorothy: Oh, what the hell. She has a birthday coming up. Why, Rose?
Rose: After the thresher accident, they replaced Lucky's arm with a forceps. Yep. Lucky Gunther. He was in charge of delivering babies and handing out corn at the Rotary picnics.
Dorothy: Shut up, Rose.

Quote from Dorothy

Sophia: How come when company comes, I always have to sleep with Dorothy? How come I always get the short stick?
