Rose: Sophia, you won't believe it! You know who's here? The Pope is here! Sophia! The Pope!
Sophia: [o.s.] All my life I've been waiting for this!
Rose: Oh, okay, I won't disturb you.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Pussycat! Pussycat! I witnessed a miracle! The Pope came to the hospital and blessed Agnes. He answered my prayers! He answered me! Oh, ye of little faith.
Blanche: Oh, you must feel special, Sophia. You must feel blessed.
Sophia: And hungry. Come on, Rose, let's go into the kitchen and whip up some loaves and fishes.
Rose: Oh, he had the most beautiful blue eyes.
Sophia: Yeah. All the cute guys are either married or popes.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Ace to the pair. No help for the Pontiff. Read 'em and weep. Full boat. Okay. High spade in the hole goes to heaven. So, any chance of me winning back that ring? Nah, I don't have to cut. I trust you.
