Dorothy Quote #1209

Quote from Dorothy in The Monkey Show

Dorothy: Gloria, you okay?
Gloria: I just had a bad day. I guess I'm a little scared. I don't know, maybe I was too confident when I got here, trying to convince myself I was happy. I guess I'm really lonely.
Dorothy: Oh, Gloria, I understand.
Gloria: Oh, I know you understand, Dorothy. That's why I came to you. I'm miserable, with no prospects. Oh, Dorothy, how do you do it? Day after day. Year after year. I feel lost.
Dorothy: Well, honey, look, you're in a new city, you're poor, you're a single woman. You have no money.
Gloria: I know, but-
Dorothy: I mean, you're poor. Now, you think about that. Every last cent is gone. No mas dinero.

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.
