Quote from Dorothy in The Monkey Show

Dorothy: So, uh, Gloria, I understand you're, uh...
Gloria: Happier than I've ever been. Can you believe it? It's like I get to completely start over.
Dorothy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. You're starting over because you've lost all of your...
Gloria: Constraint. My ties. I feel like now I can begin to live again. I can do anything. I can even do what you- What is it you do again, Dorothy?
Dorothy: I'm a substitute teacher.
Gloria: Oh, no, I'd be a real teacher.
Dorothy: I am a real teacher.
Gloria: Oh, look, Ma. Her ears are starting to get all red. [singsong] Someone's getting mad.
Dorothy: My ears are not getting red. You know, you do this every time. You just come in here and start pushing my buttons. Well, it's not gonna work. Now go ahead, hide your pain. I can wait.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, what are you doing?
Sophia: Filling sandbags, Dorothy. There's a hurricane a-coming.
Dorothy: "A-coming"?
Sophia: That's right. People only use the "A" when a really big storm is a-coming or a-brewing. So grab a sack and start a-shoveling.

Quote from Rose

Blanche: Oh, you're back from your session early. Was it as cathartic as you thought?
Dorothy: Well, I don't know if "cathartic" is the word.
Rose: You should do what I do. I find if I repeat a word that's confused me, I look smarter than I really am. Like, "Was it cathartic?" "Oh, I've had a catharticism." "Of course, I'm not the type to kiss and cathartirize."

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, the weather report said nothing about a hurricane.
Sophia: Ida Pearlberg down at the senior center woke up this morning with a leg cramp. Need I say more?
Dorothy: Yes.
Sophia: Dorothy, when you get around my age, two things happen. One, you get more intuitive about the weather. And two, corn becomes your enemy.
