Quotes3

  • Rose Nylund: [about Phil] So what if he was different? It's okay that you loved him.
  • Sophia Petrillo: [voice cracking] I did love him. He was my son, my little boy. But every time I saw him I wondered what I did, what I said, when was the day I did whatever I did to make him the way he was.
  • Angela Petrillo: [tenderly] What he was Sophia, was a good man.

  • Sophia Petrillo: They say gay if a guy can sing the entire score of "Gigi." But, a six foot three, two hundred pound married man with kids, who likes to dress up like Dorothy Lamour, I think you have to go with queer.
  • Angela Petrillo: Dorothy, I don't know if it was a good idea having Phil buried in Miami, I just talked to the priest, he doesn't know the first thing about Phil, somehow he got it in his head Phil was some kind of combination brain surgeon/rocket scientist. Where would he get the idea that Phil had an IQ of 160?
  • [she and Dorothy both turn towards Sophia]
  • Sophia Petrillo: Well, if your brother hadn't been stumped by long division...
