Sophia Quote #116

Quote from Sophia in The Heart Attack

Sophia: What if I die, Dorothy?
Dorothy: Ma, you're not going to die. Now, look. I don't want you to talk, just rest.
Sophia: Rest? I could be history in 20 minutes. I got some things I have to tell you. The key to my safe-deposit box, it's in my underwear drawer.
Dorothy: Oh, Ma, please!
Sophia: Don't interrupt. Don't let your Aunt Renata come to the services. It's my death. She'll make it her moment.
Dorothy: Ma, look...
Sophia: Dorothy, you were always my favorite. I want you to know that. Maybe I didn't show it. I'm not an affectionate person. But you are. Don't tell your sister, and keep the silver.
Dorothy: OK, Ma.
Sophia: You know, I'll probably see your father in heaven. I haven't seen him in 30 years. I wish there was time to get my hair done.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: My grandparents lived till their 90s. One was 102.
Blanche: In Minnesota.
Rose: So?
Blanche: Rose, you know how they freeze dead people to preserve them and then bring them back? That's like living in Minnesota. The cold slows down the aging process. I would move there in a shot if only they had men there.
Rose: We have men in Minnesota.
Blanche: Farmers, Rose. Farmers.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: This is a very depressing conversation.
Blanche: Well, I want a fancy funeral. I want a big parade with a riderless horse. And I want to lie in state, and then be buried in Arlington Cemetery.
Rose: Why Arlington Cemetery?
Blanche: Because it's full of men.
Rose: But they're all dead.
Blanche: So are the men I date.

Quote from Rose

Sophia: You're Scandinavian. What do you know, a thousand ways to make herring?
Rose: Well, not a thousand, but a lot, and I'm famous for my Lindstrom surprise.
Blanche: What in the world is that?
Sophia: Herring pie. The surprise is, you think it's pie, like apple, but when you bite into it, it's herring!
Dorothy: Oh, what fun!
Rose: It was. My cat was named Lindstrom. I used to make it for him on his birthday and other holidays.
Blanche: Wait, your last name was Lindstrom. You named your cat Lindstrom Lindstrom?
Rose: Yes, it was less confusing for him.
