Quotes3

  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Now listen, you withered old Sicilian monkey!
  • Sophia Petrillo: I don't have to take this. Keep it up and I'll send you to Shady Pines!
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: That's where I take you.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Ouch. Guess I backed into that one.
  • Blanche Devereaux: [after learning her father, Big Daddy, had an affair with her Mammy] This changes everything I ever thought about Big Daddy. I always assumed that he and Mama had a wonderful sex life. I walked in on 'em once when I was a little girl. There was all this huffin' and puffin' and high-pitched sounds, and then suddenly Big Daddy shouted out, "GLORY!", and they both lit up cigarettes. I vowed, then and there, I would *never* do anything so repulsive.
  • Rose Nylund: So what happened?
  • Blanche Devereaux: Oh, Bobby Joe Porter explained to me that the cigarette part was optional.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Remember that one time you walked in on me, Dorothy?
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Oh, yeah. I still remember what you said: "Mommy's sick, get help."
  • Rose Nylund: I would have *died* if I had ever caught my parents having sex.
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: What, you never walked in on them?
  • Rose Nylund: Once, but they were only playing leapfrog.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Hi pussycat!
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: [furious] Say goodbye, old woman.
  • Sophia Petrillo: Have a good time?
  • Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Do I sound like I had a good time?
  • Sophia Petrillo: How the hell should I know? You're always like this.
