Quotes4

  • Sophia Petrillo: Dorothy, can you drive me to the mall Friday night? They're giving free blood pressure tests, and some of the girls and I have a high-low bet.
  • Dorothy Zbornak: Ma, honey, don't you remember? Friday night, we're planning on having dinner at Joe's Stone Crab.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Oh?
  • Dorothy Zbornak: Honey, it's your wedding anniversary.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Oh, yeah, right. Sounds nice.
  • Dorothy Zbornak: Ma, you didn't forget, did you?
  • Sophia Petrillo: [insulted and defensive] Oh, forgive me, I forgot something. Maybe you should ship me back to Shady Pines. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be in the living room, being feeble. If I can *find* the living room!
  • Dorothy Zbornak: [joins Sophia, looking through the family photo album] Look, here we all are.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Your Sweet Sixteen party, right?
  • Dorothy Zbornak: Right. Oh, look at that beautiful chiffon dress.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Yeah, your brother Phil always did like to make a splash.
  • Rose Nylund: Sophia, Dorothy, how'd it go at the doctor's?
  • Dorothy Zbornak: It was great! He said that Ma's memory problem could be related to a nutritional imbalance, so he put her on a special diet, and if she follows it, she'll be fine from here on out.
  • Sophia Petrillo: [not sharing Dorothy's optimism] Oh, lucky me. I can remember from now on. My whole past is gone. I could have slept with JFK, and don't even know it.
  • Dorothy Zbornak: [trying hard not to laugh] Ma, I don't think so. You're not mentioned in any of the books.
  • Blanche Devereaux: [in a low, sultry voice] Well, that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
  • Dorothy Zbornak: Ma, come on now. I mean, he also said that there are things that you can do that might bring back some of what you've lost. I mean, we could talk about the good old days, reminisce with old friends. Honey, you have to look on the bright side.
  • Sophia Petrillo: I've had a lifetime of bright sides. I'll just have to learn to do without them.
  • [she leaves]
  • Dorothy Zbornak: Oh, dammit. I hate watching what this is doing to her.
  • Blanche Devereaux: I hate watching what it's doin' to you.
  • Rose Nylund: I hate watching those FBI warnings at the beginning of video rentals.
  • Sophia Petrillo: [Sophia and Dorothy go back to Brooklyn] Isn't it good to be back in the old neighborhood, Dorothy? Watching the kids playing stickball on the corner...
  • Dorothy Zbornak: [as gently as she can] Ma, they were beating a man. That's sort of why I called the police.
