Oh, here you all are!
How'd your physical go?
Oh, just fine. The doctor just could not believe it when I told him my age.
Why? What age did you tell him?

A lullaby my mother used to sing to me when I was a little girl. So when I'm scared or alone, I sing it, and it gives me courage.
No song is going to help me.
[singing] Over there, over there, send the word, send the word over there, that the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are com...
THAT is the lullaby that your mother sang to you?
Well, it was the only song she knew. During World War I, she gave out donuts and coffee to the doughboys before they boarded the trains for Europe. It works, truly! She said no one can be scared when they hear that song...except maybe the Kaiser.
I've been to enough funerals to see how they make up dead people. They look like clowns. You expect to see a dozen of them jump out of one coffin.
Oh, I'm sorry, but I can't have any scars. You see, my clothes are all off the shoulder...sooner or later.
DSDorothy, Sophia and Rose
[singing to Blanche as she is wheeled off to surgery] Over there, over there, send the word, send the word, over there, that the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming, the drums rum-tumming everywhere. Send a prayer, send a prayer, send the word, send the word, to beware...[An old World War I doughboy comes by and salutes]
Now to lose those four pounds, I guess I'll have to go on a sensible diet that I know gets results - the St. Olaf I-Can't-Believe-This-Is-Cheese diet.
How does it work?
You eat nothing but rice.
That madman wants to rip me open from stem to stern!
Your two favorite parts.
How's Blanche?
She's fine. She'll be up and back on her back in no time.
Sophia, it's been wonderful watching you take care of Blanche all week.
I feel like a regular hospital worker.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah! I just took all the money and jewelry out of her nightstand.
[storming into the kitchen] Where's my money, old woman?!!
I knew that would get her up. I was born to heal. [hands Blanche back her possessions] Here's your money, and your high school ring, Class of Ni...
[snatching back her ring] Give me that!!
