"The Golden Girls" Zborn Again (TV Episode 1990) - Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo

Sophia Petrillo : As we say back in Sicily, Sticks and stones can break your bones, but cement pays homage to tradition.
Sophia Petrillo : I worry about you. You're still my little girl, you know, no matter how big you get.

Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Thanks, Ma.

Sophia Petrillo : By the way, how big are you gonna get?
Rose : [Complaining about a coworker] The truth is, she's a sweet girl, looking for a friend. And we do have a common bond. She used to be a newscaster. Now, she's just an assistant like me. So, there's this cognitive dissonance between her actual and her ideal self which causes her to be practically dysfunctional. Of course, I'm no psychologist.

Blanche : No, you're a nitwit. How come you know those words?

Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Blanche, c'mon, it's not nice calling her a nitwit. But, since the cat's outta the bag, how *do* you know those words?

Rose : I guess it's from reading the American Journal of Abnormal Psychology. It's published in St Olaf, you know. If fact, my uncle Gunther used to be the editor.

Sophia Petrillo : And what were you? The centerfold?
Rose : We were telling Best Sex Ever stories, Sophia.

Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Yeah, but now we're tired of telling them, so why don't we go to bed, huh?

Sophia Petrillo : No, wait. It's a good thing I'm up, because it so happens that I have a story for you, the sex story to end all sex stories. Sicily, 1922. I stop by a little trattoria. No, wait. I'm thinkin' of the best meal I ever had.
