Quotes 

• Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Oh, boy, it is hell out there. It must be 103 and the mall is impossible.

  Sophia Petrillo : Did you get something for the grandchildren?

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Oh, please. You know Robbie wants a Batman hat. I went to six different stores, they were all sold out. I finally went to one store where they had one hat left, and another woman saw it. Ugh, I cannot believe a person would push a perfect stranger out of the way, step on her hand, and give her an elbow to the forehead, just for a Batman hat . . .but I did it anyway!

• Sophia Petrillo : It's a nightmare, we've been visited by the yutz of Christmas past.

• Blanche : [discussing Christmas cuisine]  Sophia, larks aren't eating birds, they're singing birds.

  Sophia Petrillo : They don't sing long in Sicily.

• Father Avery : That should do it. All the food's gone.

  Sophia Petrillo : Except the fruitcake. I don't get it, there's more here now than when we started.

• Sophia Petrillo : [to Dorothy]  Your brother Phil, God rest his brain, sends the stupidest gifts, what kind of present is dental floss?

  Rose : Well it's waxed and it's minty.

  Sophia Petrillo : [tosses it to Rose]  Here, go floss yourself.

• Blanche : Well that's all of the presents, except for the ones we know are fruitcakes.

  Sophia Petrillo : Wait a minute, what about the one Blanche hid behind the couch?

  Rose : Oh my present for you!

  [picks it up and gives it to Blanche] 

  Rose : I can't wait to see the look on your face.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : [grinning]  Neither can I.

  Blanche : [opens the present hesitantly, surprised]  Rose! It's a beautiful blouse.

  Rose : I hope you like it. Dorothy said you'd want something crotchless.
