Rose and Dorothy in “The Engagement”

Rose

I know grief. It takes time.

Dorothy

Please, Rose. Listen, if you're Irish, you have a wake. You eat, you cry, you drink, you vomit and you're done.

If you're Jewish, you cry, you sit, you eat for seven days. You put on ten pounds, and it's over.

We Italians scream, dress up a donkey, hire a band, and that's that.

It's these Southern Protestants who make it a way of life.
