- Blanche Devereaux: You are a Devereaux, and a Devereaux has never had to pay for it. I certainly haven't!
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: She's always depended on the kindness of strangers.
- Rose: How did things go with the doctor, Sophia?
- Sophia Petrillo: He said I had the body of a 40-year-old. A DEAD 40-year-old.
- Rebecca Devereaux: Well, Mama, I'm gonna do this whether you like it or not.
- Blanche Devereaux: Oh... oh, I see, missy, so this is the thanks I get for all those cold nights when you were a baby crying, and I'd have to get up out of bed and grope around in the dark for my slippers and robe, and make my way all the way downstairs, and... scream for the governess?
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Ma, what are you still doing here? You were supposed to go to the doctor this morning!
- Sophia Petrillo: Oh, I guess you didn't hear about Dr. Segal.
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: What's that?
- Sophia Petrillo: I'm not going!
- Sophia Petrillo: [to the doctor at the sperm bank] Just out of curiosity, you don't have any Tony Bennett stocked away?
- [Dorothy comes back to take Sophia away]
- Blanche Devereaux: What does one wear to a sperm bank?
- Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak: Something attractive in rubber.
- Blanche Devereaux: [a pause] I have that.
- Blanche: I feel like I'm in the middle of some awful dream. Yet I know it can't be a dream because there's no boy dancers.
