- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: [Dorothy is leaving the house to go on a cruise] Now Ma, you're going to do what Blanche tells you?
- Sophia Petrillo: Yes.
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: And you're not going to give her a hard time?
- Sophia Petrillo: No.
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Ok, goodbye Mom.
- [Leaves]
- Sophia Petrillo: Goodbye, pussycat.
- [Shuts the door and faces Blanche]
- Sophia Petrillo: Fasten your seat belt, slut puppy!... This ain't gonna be no cakewalk!
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: [to Blanch] My mother is to be fed twice a day.
- Blanche: Got it.
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Walk her after dinner.
- Blanche: Got it.
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: And no liquids after dinner.
- Sophia Petrillo: You're talking about me like I'm an animal!
- Sophia Petrillo: [sniffs Blanche] You've been with a man, haven't you?
- Rose: [after a date with a very frugal Miles] It's Miles. Lately he's gotten... I dunno... really tight, and I hate it.
- Blanche: Oh? Well I'm just the opposite. I love a tight man! Tight men cast-iron pecs, thighs that could choke a bear, butts you could eat breakfast off of, then the two of us would...
- [sees Rose]
- Blanche: Rose! When did you get in?
- Rose: Blanche, I've been here the whole time! I was telling you about Miles being tight.
- Blanche: Oh, I love a tight man! Tight men with cast-iron pecs, thighs...
- Rose: No! Tight with money! He's cheap!
- Blanche: Oh, tight with money? Dump him.
