Sophia Quote #1770
Quote from Sophia in Older and Wiser
Dorothy: Oh, Ma, I'm glad you're here. I got a call from Mr. Porter. He thinks you're pushing the folks at Cypress Grove too hard.
Sophia: Big deal. One little dance-till-you-drop marathon. It only took ten minutes.
Dorothy: And what's this about their staying into the night doing homework?
Sophia: A lot of them sit around waiting for their kids to write. So I said, "Why don't you write to our lonely servicemen instead?" I mean, we older folks have to exercise our minds, too. And don't you forget it, Gloria.
Dorothy: Ma, Gloria is your daughter in California.
Sophia: Uh, I-I knew that. A mere dramatization to make my point, uh, pal.

Quote from Dorothy
Dorothy: I have to go to work, and I don't want you to worry about me. I'm going to say to you what you said to me the very first day you dropped me off at school. "See if you can find someone who looks clean to drive you home."
Quote from Blanche
Dorothy: What's wrong?
Blanche: I will tell you what's wrong. I took Rose here on my shoot today, and they want to use her hands. Imagine. They want to use my face but her hands. Can you believe it? This is the most humiliating thing that's ever happened to me.
Dorothy: Ah, how quickly you forget the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
Blanche: Big deal. 80,000 people had to wait 20 minutes. The torch eventually got there, didn't it?
