Goofs
After Blanche storms into the bookstore and declares the book is filled with trash and filth, the crowd goes insane fighting over copies. It shows Sophia and Magda pulling a tug of war on a copy each trying to get it as if it were the last one, but they are doing it over a stack of more copies of the book.

Quotes
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: [talking about sisters] When I was a little girl I had this doll, Mrs. Dolittle, and Gloria was not supposed to touch...
Sophia Petrillo: Do we have to hear that damn Mrs. Dolittle story again? So your sister broke your doll, it was over 50 years ago.
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: It was very traumatic. It was my favorite doll.
Rose Nylund: I have a sister story...
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: And she didn't just break it, she fixed it so the eyes would never close again. She made Mrs. Doolittle look like a morphine addict!
