Sophia Quote #2126
Quote from Sophia in Home Again, Rose: Part 2
Dorothy: Ma, please, no jokes.
Sophia: Pussycat, we all deal with this in our own way. Some people make nervous little jokes, some people cry. Remember how you went to the maternity ward?
Dorothy: Gee, I had forgotten that.
Blanche: What about the maternity ward?
Sophia: When Dorothy's father was sick in the hospital, she and I would go upstairs and visit the maternity ward. The night Sal died, I went looking for Dorothy and found her there. I remember because they were just putting a newborn in his bassinet and I thought, "That baby must have been born just as Sal died." He even looked like Sal. Of course, all babies look like Sal. Especially when he took out his teeth. Oh, God, I miss that man.
Dorothy: Me, too, Ma.

Quote from Dorothy
Dorothy: Why can't we see her?
Nurse: I said family only.
Dorothy: Look, you have never met this woman's family. They live in a place called St. Olaf. They fight over whether it's macaroni and cheese, or cheese and macaroni. They have given cows the right to vote. A magician once pulled a rabbit out of a hat. They burned him as a witch. Don't look at me like that. I'm telling you the truth.
Quote from Blanche
Blanche: Here, let me try, Sophia. Nurse, now we realize that the hospital has rules, and you have to try to uphold those rules. But you have to realize that this is a very special case. So I'm gonna quote from the Bible just to show you how determined we really are. Now the Good Book says, um Oh, "Neither rain, nor sleet, nor Nor dark of night, shall keepeth uth from our appointed rounds." Amen. I can see you are a non-believer.
Dorothy: I think it's nice that you're trying to quote the Bible. The only thing that's been in more hotel rooms than she has, and she can't remember a word of it.
Quote from Sophia
Nurse: Look, I'm sure you're very close to Mrs. Nylund, and I know you feel like a family-
Sophia: Well, I am family. I'm her long lost Swedish mother.
Nurse: You're her Swedish mother?
Sophia: Ja. Ja. You bet yer sure. Oh, come on, let me in.
