- [Rose didn't mention the "living" part to the guests of Sophia's living wake]
- Blanche Devereaux: You idiot, everybody thinks she's dead now! Well, we're gonna have to tell them the truth before she comes out.
- Sophia Petrillo: [walking in] Hey, everyone!
- [the guests gasp]
- Sophia Petrillo: Thanks for coming to my wake! What do you think of the dress?
- [Sophia slowly spins; guests shriek and gasp; a woman faints]
- Sophia Petrillo: Well, excuse me for buying off the rack!
- Rose Nylund: [Sophia and Rose come home, dressed in black, laughing] Oh girls, we just went to Doug Kirkpatrick's wake. It was the greatest.
- Sophia Petrillo: I can't remember when I had so much fun. Those Irishmen! They even laid out Doug's body in the living room!
- Blanche Devereaux: Oh, that sounds morbid.
- Rose Nylund: I didn't have a problem with it. 'Til one of the relatives got drunk and started slow-dancing with the corpse. But even then it was surprisingly touching.
- Blanche Devereaux: And speaking of being touched, it's nickel beer night at The Rusty Anchor. I'm gonna get my purse, you get changed, 'cause we're goin'.
- Dorothy Zbornak: Oh, Blanche, what if no-one there wants to talk to me? What if nobody asks me to dance?
- Blanche Devereaux: Now Dorothy, think: if there's somebody out there who is willing to dance with a corpse, there's somebody willing to dance with you.
