Favorite Quotes:
* Dorothy: We could wash them. Before dishwashers people didn’t just eat and wipe the dishes on their pants.* Sophia: What is it with you people? All you ever had were happy times? It’s sickening. Happy times freezing in the cold. Happy times during the locust invasion. Happy times eating reindeer. How about death? Did you have happy times then?
* Sophia: Last week I left him a stool sample. If I can talk to him about that, you can talk to him about being lonely.
* Rose: Do you think he could change into Mr. Fixit?
George: It’s a mental illness Rose, not a masquerade party.
* Renee: They loved me. I brought joy to people.
George: You sold cigarettes. You brought cancer to people.
* Blanche: Oh, honey, I’ve been in that position more than once.
Sophia: You’ve been in every position more than once.
* Blanche: No, the goddess position. We have our problems too.
Dorothy: Especially when the goddess is twice the size she use to be.
