• Rose Nylund : [Brings in soup that she made for her late husband]  Here we are, Sophia. Homemade Chicken Soup. I used to make it for my husband when he wasn't feeling well.

  Sophia Petrillo : Did you make it for him the last time he wasn't feeling well?

  [Rose nodded] 

• Sophia Petrillo : If that's the doctor, tell him I have no insurance and no money. If he still wants to come in, he just wants to see me naked.

• Blanche Devereaux : Oh, hello, everyone.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Hi, Blanche.

  Blanche Devereaux : Oh, I just happened upon the most divine dress sale. I would've called you girls, but all they had left were petites.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : So what did you buy, shoes?

  [Blanche smiles happily] 

  Sophia Petrillo : I'm a petite. I'd better get over there. I need a black dress for Dr. Silvano's funeral.

  [Sophia stopped and grabbed in the arms by Dorothy and Rose] 

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Dr. Silvano died 2 months ago. You went to his funeral.

  Sophia Petrillo : Right, I can't let him see me in the same dress.

  [Sophia better get going but stopped by Dorothy and Rose] 

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Ma, you're not going anywhere until the doctor comes!

  Blanche Devereaux : Sophia, you can't go anywhere now. I want you to see how good I look in my new dress!

• Sophia Petrillo : What am I! Two years old? I don't know my own symptoms? I've lived in this body since I was born. If something goes wrong I'm the first one to hear about it.

• Sophia Petrillo : Sicily, 1912. Picture this - two young girls, best friends, who shared three things: a pizza recipe, some dough, and a dream. Everything is going great until one day, a fast-talking pepperoni salesman gallops into town. Of course, both girls are impressed. He dates one one night, the other the next night. Pretty soon, he drives a wedge between them. Before you know it, the pizza suffers, the business suffers, the friendship suffers. The girls part company and head for America, never to see one another again. Rose, one of those girls was me. The other you probably know as Mama Celeste.
