Sophia Quote #2054

Quote from Sophia in Goodbye, Mr. Gordon

Sophia: Sit down, pussycat. I wanna tell you something. You give too much, and when you do that, you're gonna get hurt.
Dorothy: I know. Oh, but I was so disappointed. For 40 years, I've had this fantasy that Mr. Gordon would come swooping into my life like Sir Lancelot. Now I don't even have that.
Sophia: You can keep the fantasy alive. It's part of life. You know what I call my pillow? Sal. Sometimes I hug it.
Sometimes it lays there like a big lump, just like your father. That's how I keep him alive.
Dorothy: That's lovely, Ma.
Sophia: You know what I call my other pillow? Dino. But that's another story. I'll tell you about it when you're, oh, about 70.

Quote from Sophia

Sophia: So that's why you're acting like it's the first day of school. Mr. Gordon is coming over. [kissing sounds]
Dorothy: Mother, just stop that. Mr. Gordon is probably over 70 by now. He's practically ancient.
Sophia: Seventy is ancient? If I met a man that age who looked halfway decent, I'd be on my back before you could say, "I've fallen and I can't get up."

Quote from Sophia

Ron: Any other questions? Ah, here we go.
Sophia: This is directed to Dorothy's lover. Do people treat you differently because you're a lesbian?
Blanche: Well, most people don't know.
Sophia: Really? I would've guessed right off.
Sophia: Next question to Dorothy. What kind of pain and embarrassment has this lifestyle caused your mother?
Dorothy: I really don't know, but I'll ask her tomorrow when I visit her at the home.
Sophia: No more questions.

Quote from Sophia

Sophia: I don't wanna hear any more of this. I don't like you being taken advantage of by some guy from out of town. At least, when Blanche does it, it's good for tourism.
