Sophia Quote #166

Quote from Sophia in That Was No Lady

Rose: Oh, Blanche, you remember a few days ago when I said your car was making a funny kind of a noise sometimes?
Blanche: Uh-huh.
Rose: Well, it's making it all the time now.
Blanche: It's nothing serious, I'm sure. It started making a wheezing, coughing, rattling kind of a sound every time it goes up a hill.
Sophia: Uh-oh, that's a bad sign. Those are the sounds Tony Triano made the night they wheeled him out of the home on a gurney.
Blanche: That car's in terrific condition. Sometimes it's a little hard to turn over in the morning.
Sophia: Tony Triano to a T.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: I cannot believe how excited I am! I mean, he's practically a stranger, and I am crazy about him! I haven't felt this way about a man ever before.
Blanche: Oh, honey, you've been hit by the thunderbolt! Love at first sight! It happened to me once.
Sophia: Once? You've been hit by more lightning than the World Trade Center!
Rose: I was hit by the thunderbolt once.
Sophia: Probably a direct hit to the forehead.

Quote from Rose

Rose: It was the first time I saw my Charlie. I was seven and he was eight. It was a hot Minnesota summer and he had put up one of those little stands on the sidewalk.
Blanche: Selling lemonade.
Rose: Insurance. And I bought a nickel policy on my red wagon. And right after that, my wagon was destroyed.
Blanche: How?
Rose: Some hogs trampled it. I was hauling home a smoked ham for Mama and I think it set them off. Anyway, that's when I fell in love with Charlie. He paid for a new wagon, even though my policy didn't cover acts of swine.
Dorothy: ... "Acts of swine."

Quote from Sophia

Blanche: Girls, I am so excited! I am finally going to do something you've heard me talk about doing for years.
