Dorothy's Words of Wisdom
Sophia: (about apologizing to Max Winestock) I can't. Sicilians have a hard time with apologies.
Dorothy: They also have a hard time with passing wet cement without putting someone in it! But they manage!
(Rose passes around a partially eaten porkchop of Elvis' at a Hunka Hunka Burnin Love Fan Club meeting.)
Dorothy: Oh come on! I mean, this has to be a fake! Elvis would've never have left this much meat on a porkchop!! (starts laughing)
Blanche: Dorothy, you're outta the club! Meeting is adjourned! Thank you for comin! Well Dorothy, I hope you're not too upset about this.
Dorothy: I've just been thrown out of an un-authorized Elvis fan club! I'll try to pick up the pieces and go on with my life. I mean, there must be a support group for people like me!
Dorothy: Ma, even if there is a hurricane 'a-comin'-
Sophia: Don't patronize me!
Dorothy: I'm not patronizing you, I'm a-mockin you!!
(Talking about Stan going to the shrink and bonding with a fake monkey)
Blanche: Why doesn't he just use a fake woman?
Dorothy: Honey, that's why he's there in the first place!
Stan: Dorothy, I'm sorry this couldn't work out. Thank You for 38 years of love, companionship, friendship, and memories, I'll cherish them always.
Dorothy: Stan...(pauses)..Chao!!
Stan: I just felt so vulnerable!
Dorothy: Oh Stan, you big bald girl!!
(Talking about his sleeping with Dorothy's sister Gloria)
Stan: Dr. Halprin is on his way. This is all my fault!
Gloria: No, it's my fault.
Dorothy: Maybe it's my fault. I mean, who goes into their bedroom in the middle of the day without knocking?!
