- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: I've had it. I've just had it. In the past few days, I have been turned down for every available part-time job in Dade County that didn't involve selling cocaine.
- Blanche Devereaux: Oh, Dorothy, it's just so unfair. They shouldn't be allowed to do this to a fine teacher like you.
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Well, it's part of the experimental year-round school system. Every teacher is required to take a ten-week leave, and my ten weeks are now.
- Sophia Petrillo: This wouldn't have happened if you'd taken the job I wanted you to take.
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Ma, you wanted me to be a nun.
- Sophia Petrillo: Right. It's steady work, they supply the uniform, and you're married to God. At least he's home every night.
- Andrew Allen: [when Sophia comes to the museum to bring Dorothy her lunch, the Director greets her, and lays it on pretty thick] Hellooooo. And who do we have here?
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: This is my mother, Mrs Sophia Petrillo. Ma, this is my boss, Mr Allen.
- Andrew Allen: [speaking slowly and loudly, as if patronizing her advanced age] Pleased to meet you, Mrs Petrillo. What brings you to our humble home?
- Sophia Petrillo: [turns to Blanche, covering her mouth so Mr Allen won't hear] Is he gay?
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Uhhh, come on, honey, I'll walk you to the car.
- Andrew Allen: Goodbye, Mrs Petrillo. Sorry you didn't have an opportunity to experience our museum. I'd love for you to see my most prized acquisition: a magnificent pair of Gauguins.
- Sophia Petrillo: [offended and outraged] What are you, a pervert? I was married for 45 years, I never even saw my husband's Gauguins.
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: [Rose rescues a stray dog and intends to keep him in her room; suddenly, Dorothy hears him barking] What was that?
- Blanche Devereaux: Rose brought a dog home from the supermarket.
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: What, couldn't she just get stew meat like she usually does?
