Quotes 

• [Dorothy has just told the story of how Sophia had fallen asleep in her bed whilst nursing her through Bronchitis] 

  Sophia Petrillo : I wasn't asleep. I was just resting my eyes so you'd leave me alone. I used to do that with your father. It only worked about half of the time. Asleep, awake - didn't matter to him!

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Please, Ma. You slept like a baby. I know becasues I spent the whole night awake in that chair.

  Blanche Devereaux : Well, it couldn't be any worse than trying to sleep on a hard wooden bench in the middle of a railway station!

  Sophia Petrillo : Boy, you do it any place, don't you, Blanche?

  Rose Nylund : Blanche is talking about coming home from Edna McCarthy's funeral.

  Sophia Petrillo : Edna McCarthy is dead? Oh my God, that's terrible. I just sent her a chain letter. There's a dollar I'll never see!

  Sophia Petrillo : You know, in the right hands and the right bag, this chipped beef is not half bad.
