Quotes 

• Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Ma, we need to talk. I waited up for you until two in the morning, and you still weren't home.

  Sophia Petrillo : Oh, yea, Gertie and I and some of the girls went to Wolfie's to pick up guys.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : I called Wolfie's at 11, you weren't there.

  Sophia Petrillo : Guess who got lucky?

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Oh God!

  Sophia Petrillo : What can I say? A couple of egg creams, the bright fluorescent lights, and a retired jeweler named Shlomo all conspired to make a night of enchantment.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Not for me. I can't tell you the horrible thoughts I had about what might have happened to you, although none as horrible as what you just described.

• Sophia Petrillo : [seeing Rose with Miles after she's been with Buzz]  Oh, my God! Now she's with the other boyfriend! It's like living with Cher!

• Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [happily]  Ma.

  Blanche : Sophia, you're here. And you have your suitcases. Does that mean you're not leaving?

  Sophia Petrillo : I don't get it. I'm only gone for a few days and the dumb one's in there acting like a slut while the slut's in here being stupid! Of, course I'm back!

• Sophia Petrillo : Pussycat, I'm goin' out with my friends. Can you give me some money?

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : What happened to the money I gave you last night?

  Sophia Petrillo : Let's see. Ten bucks went for cover charge, ten bucks went for a round of drinks, and the other ten went into the G-string of a very cute male dancer named Mr Big.

  Blanche : I know that guy. That's just a stage name.

• Sophia Petrillo : [trying to explain her new group of friends]  Look. The Senior Citizens Center is divided into three cliques: the hip group, the not-so-hip group, and the broken-hip group. Which group would you want to be in?

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Oh, Ma, when I was a kid, you always told me it wasn't important to be a member of a popular clique. You always said, 'Just be yourself.'

  Sophia Petrillo : Sure, that was because no-one liked you.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [to Blanche]  This is why, when I was a kid, I had an imaginary mother.

• Sophia Petrillo : [Sophia is fed up with Dorothy's criticism of her lifestyle]  Well, I'm leaving. I found a compatible roommate. Here's my new address and 'phone number.

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Oh, come on, Ma, you're joking.

  Sophia Petrillo : It's no joke. Ciao. Auf Wiedersehen. Arrivederci, and Sayonara.

  [she leaves] 

  Rose : Gee, she could have at least said, 'Goodbye'.
