Favorite Quotes:
+Sophia: Yes, I do. I’ve just been in dry dock. I’m back now. I’m suited up, Coach. Put me back in the game.Blanche: OK, but you have to listen to everything I say. When I say “jump,” you say, “On who?”
+Rose: I just got a special-delivery letter from St. Olaf. Uh-oh, it’s from the Department of Water and Coffee.
+Blanche: Turn this thing to your advantage. Now, if you hold Miles at bay, amazing things will start to happen. He’ll become more attentive, send you flowers. He’ll be a prisoner of love, and you’ll be the warden. And if you’re interested, I have costumes for both of you to rent.
+Blanche: Let the record speak for itself. I have had 143 relationships. Sophia: And no convictions.
+Blanche: Rose, if you’re gonna be my lump of clay, you gotta be a little bit smarter.
+Blanche: Girls, I want to present Blanche Devereaux’s latest creation. I took an 84-year-old woman and made her look like a 65-year-old drag queen. Then I said to myself, “Blanche, too much rouge.” So, after a few minor adjustments, may I present the new Sophia Petrillo.
Dorothy: Ma, are you in there?
+Dorothy: Ma, remember – don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.
Sophia: I think I crossed that line when I got a date.
+Tony: Where does a sweet Sicilian girl like you learn to do those things?
Sophia: I live with a slut.
+Sophia: Blanche made me do it.
Dorothy: Don’t you have a mind of your own? If Gladys Goldfine told you to drink a whole bottle of Kaopectate, would you?
Sophia: Who blabbed?
Summary:
Sophia had a date with Tony Delveccio. She dreamed about him too. Blanche explains the dream. Blanche advises Sophia to sleep with him. Rose gets a letter from St. Olaf. There’s a drought. Blanche suggests that she not tell Miles about St. Olaf’s request of its citizens. She wants Rose to use it to her advantage with Miles. Blanche defends her experience stating she’s had 143 relationships. It’s another evening and Rose has a date with Miles. Blanche points out she is correct, everything she predicted has happened. Blanche then introduces the new Sophia. She’s very, very made up. Dorothy is horrified. Miles arrives. Rose worries about if Miles wants to go back to his place. Blanche tells her she has to clean out the garage and that makes her happy. Sophia worries that Tony won’t notice she’s all dressed up. Tony arrives and tells Sophia she looks enchanting. Their evening turns very romantic and Sophia is happy. She tells him she loves him and his response of “I care for you” disappoints her. She gets very upset and leaves. Miles confronts Rose about the lack of intimacy happening between them. Miles misunderstands what Rose is trying to tell and he breaks up with her and leaves. Rose goes into the house and yells at Blanche for ruining her relationship with Miles. Sophia comes home and she is upset. Blanche realizes that she told him she loved him but he didn’t say it back. Sophia heads to bed. He doesn’t call though. Dorothy and Blanche discuss how her advice has not helped either Sophia or Rose, but instead made both situations worse. Sophia decides to go see Tony to straighten everything out. Blanche offers to take Rose to a firehouse to cheer her up. She passes. Blanche actually gets a little introspective and admits its kind of lonely not having someone nice and decent like Miles. Her dates are usually shallow and what she does works with them. She tells Rose she should go talk to Miles. She gets distracted and starts telling a story. The phone rings. It’s someone from St. Olaf. It’s raining, the drought is over. Sophia arrives at Tony’s. She says she’s there for her medic alert bracelet. Tony’s wearing it. The two talk. He tells her he hasn’t told anyone he loved them since his wife died. They make up. He shows her pictures of his late wife and she shows him pictures of Sal.
