[singing] Two turtle doves, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree...
SophiaOK, OK, I believe you! There is a 48-Day version. Boy, last time I was in a place this cold they were hanging up Jimmy Hoffer by his--[singing] Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, jingle all the way...
[Chuy puts a completely burnt duck on the kitchen table]
Ugh! Chihuahua. Sophia...what does this look like to you?
SophiaGeorge Hamilton in five years.
[about burnt duck] Have you ever seen a duck this black and Smoky?
I have. Daffy. But only after Bugs Bunny gives him a dynamite cigar. Why doesn't that duck ever learn?
SophiaHe can't, Rose. He doesn't have a brain. Sound familiar?
Oh, I'm the dumb one? You're the one who's overcooked three meals today. In fact, if we had a Stupid Person Race, I think you'd come in first.
SophiaI'm sorry. Maybe the oven is broken.
Oh! It is! Didn't you get the note I left inside of the oven.
[holding burnt note] And at the wire, it's Rose by a nose.
All right, you little witch, where's the money?
SophiaWhat money? I don't know what you're talking about.
Stop stalling. Don't make me get rough.
SophiaI'm not talking, screw. And by the way, that's a nickname, not a suggestion.
I'm a little kid! I was scared! I almost peed!
SophiaI'm over 100! I am scared! I am peeing!
Um, ma'am, do you know how slow you're going?
SophiaAh, bite me.
Sophia[referring to Sex Seminar] This sounds awesome. I'm there! I haven't told you but I've been having some problems with my sexual partners lately.
Such as?
SophiaI don't have any!
Will you look at all the toilet paper I found in the freezer? How many times do I have to tell Blanche, "Please, don't freeze the Charmin?"
Chuy...
I mean who's gonna want to use frozen toilet paper?
Sophia[Grabs roll] At my age, any thrill will do.
[referring to Mr. Reynolds] Oh! He said the most upsetting thing to me!
Sophia"Don't come back 'til you're wearing underwear?"
Sophia! I always go to meetings with men dressed like this! To me, it's just a great business tool. You know, it gives me a leg up.
SophiaJust one?
How would you like me to iron those wrinkles out of your face, you little snitch?
SophiaOoh! I'd like that!
SophiaGood news, everybody, I'm back from vacation.
Yeah, that's...
SophiaHave no fear, Petrillo is...
Good to...
SophiaShe's tan, she's rested, she's ready to crack wise. Who, you say? "Sophia. That's who!".
Fine.
SophiaI thought you said you missed me, what do I have to do to get some attention around here, a cartwheel? [long pause] OK, here goes. But I should warn you, I'm not wearing any underwear.
Congratulate me, Sophia! I've finally finished that jigsaw puzzle!
SophiaBig deal! It took you six months!
On the box it said two to four years!
[referring to Stan's death] So how are we going to tell Sophia?
We'll break it to her gently, tonight, just before we put her to bed.
SophiaGuess who I just ran into!
Not Stan, he's dead!
[about Blanche's plans of marriage] Don't you think that ship has sailed?
SophiaThat ship has sunk!
I don't know what to say.
Sophia[about Blanche] I do, you're old.
Sophia!
SophiaWhat? She's a fossil!
