Quotes 

• Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Ma, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

  Sophia Petrillo : I think I crossed that line when I got a date.

• Tony Delveccio : Where did a sweet Sicilian girl like you learn to do those things?

  Sophia Petrillo : I live with a slut.

  Tony Delveccio : Thank her for me.

• Sophia Petrillo : [talking about her new boyfriend, Tony Delveccio]  I fantasize about him all day. Last night I dreamed I was Joan of Arc, and he was comin' at me with a hose.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [embarrassed to hear her mother discussing her love life]  Ma, maybe it was just a religious experience dream.

  Blanche Devereaux : Did he put out the fire?

  Sophia Petrillo : Three times.

  Blanche Devereaux : [in awe]  Wow. The seldom-achieved Joan of Arc fantasy triple! Sophia, I hate you!

• Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Look me in the eye. Did you sleep with Tony Delveccio?

  Sophia Petrillo : A little.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Ma!

  Sophia Petrillo : Blanche made me do it.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [incensed]  What, don't you have a mind of your own? If Gladys Goldfine told you to drink a whole bottle of Kaopectate, would you?

  Sophia Petrillo : Who blabbed?

• Blanche Devereaux : [the doorbell rings, and Sophia expects it's her date, as Blanche coaches her]  Take your glasses off. And you know, it's a good idea if you can find something to compliment him on.

  Sophia Petrillo : [she opens the door, and without her glasses she can't tell it's really Miles, not her date]  Hi. Is it my imagination, or do you have less hair on your knuckles?

  Miles Webber : Well, it could be, Sophia. At my age, everything starts to go.

  Rose Nylund : Sophia, it's Miles.

  Miles Webber : [to Sophia]  Hey, you look beautiful!

  Sophia Petrillo : Boy, it has been a long time for you, hasn't it, big fella?
