Dorothy: Blanche, I'm sure it's a fluke that nobody called you for a date.

Sophia: They must have painted the men's room walls at the Pizza Hut.

Sophia: Jealousy is a very ugly thing, Dorothy. And so are you in anything backless.

Sophia: Picture it. Sicily, 1912. A beautiful, young peasant girl with clear, olive skin meets an exciting but penniless Spanish artist. There's an instant attraction. They laugh, they sing. They slam down a few boilermakers. Shortly afterwards, he's arrested for showing her how he can hold his palette without using his hands. But I digress. He paints her portrait and they make passionate love. She spends much of the next day in the shower with a loofah sponge, scrubbing his fingerprints off her body. She sees the portrait and is insulted. It looks nothing like her. And she storms out of his life forever. That peasant girl was me and that painter...was Pablo Picasso. Dorothy: Ma, I have a feeling you're lying. Rose: Be positive, Dorothy. Dorothy: Okay, I'm positive you're lying!

My all-time favorite Sicily story. May need to open the photo to see it fully.

Rose [to Sophia]: What are you doing? Sophia: It's Tuesday night. I'm cleaning out my purse. Rose: Did all that stuff come out of your purse? Sophia: No, I was also cleaning out my ears. That's where the Feenamint and the rain bonnet came from. Rose: Sophia, why are you in such a bad mood? Sophia: Forgive me, Rose, but I haven't had sex in 15 years, and it's starting to get on my nerves.
