Dorothy, Rose and Blanche are at each other's throats when they come down with the flu ahead of an important banquet.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Do you know that we have been at each other's throats for two days?
Rose: I've been the worst. I hope you two can forgive me.
Blanche: Oh, girls, let's make a pact. Let's promise we're gonna help each other get through this mess.
Rose: Would I be too big a nerd if I asked for a group hug?
Dorothy: Oh, honey, of course not.
Sophia: What are you doing?
Rose: We're having a group hug.
Sophia: Well, knock it off. The neighbors will get the wrong idea.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: Well, I guess that settles it. I guess I won the award. I'm gonna go to that banquet. I'm gonna call my date.
Blanche: Honey, if you can get a date the way you look, you deserve that award.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: If you're both going, I'm going, too. I have just as much chance of winning as you do.
Rose: You have done some good work, Dorothy. But not enough people like you. Sorry.
Dorothy: Ma, what do you think? Do I have a chance of winning?
Sophia: Absolutely. As long as they don't add a swimsuit competition.

Quote from Sophia

Rose: Tell me, where are you from, Raoul?
Raoul: It's a pleasure to be here.
Sophia: Raoul doesn't speak much English.
Dorothy: Ma, where did you meet him?
Sophia: He owns a flower shop next to the dog track. I won big yesterday, so I figured I'd treat myself and rent him a tuxedo. You having fun, Raoul?
Raoul: It's a pleasure to be here.
Sophia: He kills me.
