I know there are a few threads about GG quotes but in memory of Estelle Getty's passing, post your favorite Sophia quotes.

One of my favorites that I ALWAYS laugh at -

when Blanche, Rose, & Dorothy get arrested for prostitution and Sophia goes to bail them out

Sophia:I can't believe it, arrested for prostitution.
Dorothy:But ma, we're innocent.
Sophia:I know that, I can't believe these dumb cops would think that somebody would pay money to sleep with the 3 of you!!

One that always makes me laugh:

Dorothy: Oh, I am so glad to be back home and on the ground, I have an urge to kiss every single piece of furniture!"
Ma: "You wouldnt have to if you had dates like other people."

(Rose shoots a vase in the living room)
Rose: I heard a noise. I thought it was the robbers.
Sophia: I live 80, 81 years. I survived war, pneumonia, two operations. One night I'll belch and Stable Mable here will blow my head off!

:lol:

When Blanche and Sophia were dating the same man, and Blanche walks in wearing a nightgown in front of the guy.

Sophia: "Beat it, you fifty year old mattress!"

Same episode: Blanche says she's going to take a bath "with just enough water to barely cover my perky bosoms."

Sophia: "You're only gonna sit in an inch of water?"

There's probably better ones, but this is what I can think of now.

Oh there are sooo many!

Blanche: "I'm abhored!"

Sophia: "I know what you are Blanche. It's just nice to hear you admit it"

******

The other favorite of mine is when Sophia, in her bedroom, pretends to be her answering machine message to Rose, outside of the bedroom door. LOL! I can't remember the exact quote, but I crack up every time. Especially when Sophia says "Beep!"...and Rose starts speaking "Hi, this is Rose...". LOL!

RIP Estelle.

All the other posts are great, but I will never forget sophia singing this song:

Sophia: "I reworked and old favorite, listen.
(singing) Thanks for the medicare, for blue cross and blue shield, for a hip that finely healed...."

I cant remember the rest of the song, But its funny.

and lets not forget her classic catchphrase " Picture it...".

RIP Estelle you will forever be remembered and loved.

"remember on prescription generic is a steal..........we thank you, so much......"

My favorite is when Blanche's gay brother is outside with his friend and Sophia says "Oh look! They're skipping!"

One more -

Sophia's cranky towards Rose:

Rose:Gee, Sophia, why are you in such a bad mood?
Sophia:Pardon me, Rose, but I haven't had sex in 15 years and it's starting to get on my nerves!!

Those are all so funny Estelle will be sorely missed!

Some of my favs:


I got it nobody told me. I didn't get it nobody told me. I figured this is life and went back to my meatballs.

I'm short and I'm old. Who did you expect Princess Di?!

You're no good at disdam game.

I'm an old white woman I'm not supposed to have color. You want color talk to Lena Horne.

If it's a boy she can name it after his father: Rick-Joe-Bob-Don-Dave

Big deal!! I took a whole place set.

I found the tea rather moist as well.

Who's the macadamian?

Anytime Sophia said, "Sicily, 19....." it was priceless! You never got tired of that coinphrase, because you knew she was going to say something off the wall. LOL

From "Rose's Big Adventure"

Dorothy: "I would jump at the chance to go around the world on a cruise".

Sophia: "Please Dorothy, you would jump at the chance to go around the corner for coffee".

Not the exact quote but I have been watching so many episodes this weekend I lost track of it but I remember laughing my *** off when she said that. She had so many for any subject.

Another one I just saw last night from "All Bets Are Off" when Dorothy comes home from the track with Rose and tells Sophia she can still pick a winner, to which Sophia responds:
"This from a lady who has a Dukakis bumper sticker covering up a Mondale bumper sticker on her car". I love that one and it is such a sign of the times in which The Golden Girls was on prime time television.

Another one, from the episode "Sophia's Choice":

Man: "Problems, problems! The world is bringing me problems! And you are?"
Sophia: "We are the world."

the funniest one that comes to mind is the one from the episode where rose's sister visits

Rose's sister:Shes feisty,zesty,and full of old world charm,Sophia.

Sophia:She's mopey,dopey,and full of crap,rose's sister.:lol: :lol:

I was watching yesterday the episode in which Sophia announces she wants to go living with Phil.
Each girl asks how they will go on with her and when Rose asks "What about me Sophia?" she answers "You? You need the Wizard of Oz"..

When Blanche and Sophia were dating the same man, and Blanche walks in wearing a nightgown in front of the guy.

Sophia: "Beat it, you fifty year old mattress!"

Same episode: Blanche says she's going to take a bath "with just enough water to barely cover my perky bosoms."

Sophia: "You're only gonna sit in an inch of water?"



One of my faves. :lol:

Rose: "Here you go Sophia, the perfect after-dinner treat... a nice dish of Jell-O."

Sophia: "I hate Jell-O. If God wanted peaches suspended in midair He would have filled them with helium."



Dorothy: "Ma, could you do that a little more quietly?"

Sophia: "These are Fritos, you want me to swallow them whole?"



Dorothy: "Blanche it taking this well; you know I would KILL Gloria if she ever wrote about MY sexual escapades."

Sophia: "You'd kill your sister over a pamphlet?"



(Rose is on the lanai cooking dinner on the barbecue grill)

Sophia: "Ribs, great... why don't you just KICK the dentures out of my mouth?"

Blanche: "Sophia, I think you put too much rum in it."
Sophia: " Who cares?" taking another sip of rum

There are so so many to choose from but some of my faves are:

Rose and Blanche are rehearsing for the Sound of Music play they are in - Rose shouts "the Nazis are coming, the Nazis are coming " Sophia comes "old lady running" ( I always loved how she did that ! ) out of the kitchen
"Everyone into the basement quick..." - always makes me chuckle.

Sophia practising her magic tricks borrows Dorothy's watch - smashes it with a hammer and then asks Dorothy if this was her card - " I think I got chapters 7 and 9 mixed up - this watch is broken" " Ma, Stan gave me that watch when we got married" " Well the marriage never worked why should the watch"

I could go on and on - I think with Sophia it wouldn't have mattered what she said, sometimes just one of her looks can make you laugh, it was her timing and delivery of the lines.

I've almost reached the end of season 7 for the 4th time round now - and I never get tired of watching - Love you girls :D

Dorothy's friend and the husband were visiting and Sophia was sitting on the couch. He said some sort of smart remark: Blanche-"You'll have to excuse Sophia Jack", Sophia: "Oh! You heard that? I thought I was safe backed up against these cushions".

Sophia Anna Bush (born July 8, 1982) is an American actress. She is perhaps best known for her role as Brooke Davis in the CW series One Tree Hill and for portraying Grace Andrews in the horror remake The Hitcher (2007).Bush, an only child, was born and raised in Pasadena, California[1] to Charles William Bush, an advertising and celebrity photographer, and Maureen, a photography studio manager.[2] Bush has Italian ancestry,[3] and attended Westridge School for Girls (Pasadena), as well as the University of Southern California. She was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority,[4] where she served as Social Chair.
In 2000, she was the Tournament of Roses Parade Queen. Bush attended USC for three years before landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill (2003).

I liked the one where Blanche's old high school flame Ham shows up but he's gained weight and is heavy.

Blanche: Come on in here and let me get a look at you.
Sophia: What else can we look at? The man is covering half the pictures on our walls.
Rose: So, what is Ham short for?
Sophia: My guess would be ham and potatoes.
Rose (to Ham): I hope we get to see more of you. (Dororthy then covers Sophia's mouth lol).

Blanche is all upset about her looks after seeing herself on tv.

Blanche: I'm going to be perfect; I'm going to be gorgeous
I'm gonna have my tummy tucked; my butt firmed; my breasts raised and my face lifted! (runs away to her room all upset)

Sophia (Turning to Dorothy): Its a shame to do all that and keep that hair-do!

She always has some smart crack when one of the others is going through a tramatic experience.

In "Brother Can You Spare a Dime", when it looks like there not going to find their missing winning lottery ticket:

Rose: I guess now I'll never get to fly on the Concord!

Blanche: and I'll never get to buy that emerald pendant to dangle between my perky bosums!

Sophia: and I'll never get to buy perky bosums!

Blanche: Well, now I know why Hemingway killed himself. Oh, girls I have writers block. It is the worst feeling in the world!

Sophia: Try 10 days without a bowel movement sometime.

Blanche: You just sit there hour, after hour, after hour!

Sophia: Tell me about it.

"I take very good care of myself. I treat my body like a temple"
" Yeah, open to everyone, day or night!" :lol:

The favorite Sophia line that I have, is from an episode I am not sure of what the episode is.

Blanche: I take good care of my self. I treat my body like a temple.

Sophia: Yeah, open to everyone day or night!:lol:

I can't remmeber the ep but there's a scene with Sophia playing scrabble with Dorothy:

Dorothy: Ma, "disdam" is not a word.
Sophia: It certainly is!
Dorothy: Okay, prove it, use it in a sentence.
Sophia: You're no good at disdam game.

:lol:

[QUOTE=guestguest]When Blanche and Sophia were dating the same man, and Blanche walks in wearing a nightgown in front of the guy.

:lol:

Not sure if this was already used:

Blanche: Oh, just shut up! Shut up, you babbling, bobble-headed, bleach blonde...
[struggles for another word]
Sophia: Baboon.
Blanche: Baboon!
[storms out]
Dorothy, Rose: [stare at Sophia]
Sophia: She needed a 'B!

.

Dorothy: Ma, what is that you're knitting?
Sophia: A bottle cover for the sherry.
Dorothy: Why do we need to cover the sherry?
Sophia: Not the sherry here at the house, the sherry I take to the park. You drink out of a paper bag in the park and suddenly everybody's your friend!
Rose: Oh, Sophia, I don't think it's a good idea to drink in the park.
Sophia: Hey, I do it once a month with the girls from the Cloud Society.
Blanche: The Cloud Society?
Sophia: Yeah, we stake out a bench, knock a few sherries back and discuss what we think the clouds look like. One afternoon I thought I saw Pat Sajak riding sidesaddle on a dolphin!

best sophia line ever!

I always crack up every time Sophia calls Stan a yutz. :rofl:

.

Dorothy just finishes explaining to Blanche the difference between
Lebonese and Lesbian, and that Jean is in love with Rose.

Blanche: Well have you told Rose?

Dorothy: No, we're not sure she can handle it.

Blanche: Oh, good! Why she's not as worldly and sophisticated about these things as I am!!!

Sophia: Absolutely not! It'll break Rose's heart to find out Danny Thomas is a Lesbian!! :lol:

.

One of my favorites was in the episode "To catch a neighbor", after the girls decided to let the cops stay at their house as their headquarter, Al (the older cop) says you ladies wont have to change your lifestyles. We just need a bedroom, bathroom and use the kitchen for their base and sophia says "fine, we will just cook in the fireplace and pee in the broom closet". She was so awesome.

I can't remmeber the ep but there's a scene with Sophia playing scrabble with Dorothy:

Dorothy: Ma, "disdam" is not a word.
Sophia: It certainly is!
Dorothy: Okay, prove it, use it in a sentence.
Sophia: You're no good at disdam game.


The quote is from Season 1 Episode 8: "Break In"

I love the episode where Frieda Claxton dies and the girls are trying to find her a casket at the funeral home. The funeral directors name is Pfeiffer with the "P" pronounced.

"Hey, P feiffer! How would you like a punch in your p face!"

I roll with laughter everytime. Hilarious!

Sophia is AMAZING!! I have seen every episode about 100 times and I STILL laugh at what she says- especially the ones where she can't control her flatulence haha Here are some of my favourites:

Dorothy: "gee if I close my eyes I'd swear I was in Ecuador.."
Sophia: "sorry that was me!"

Blanche: "shhhh listen...did you hear that sound?"
Sophia: "yeah and as long as I'm in my own bed I'll do what I want."

Rose: "what was that noise?"
Sophia: "that was me.....thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention."

Rose: "he could squeeze a nickel til the buffalo poops."
Sophia: "boy I'll tell ya- there's something to the power of suggestion...excuse me."

Rebecca (Blanche's daughter referring to her own baby daughter Aurora): "what a good girl she was this morning. she was just smiling and smiling.....I know sometimes it's just gas but she was so cute."
*(Sophia tugs on Dorothys blouse and just smiles widely at her)*
Dorothy: "It's not cute once you pass 80 Ma!"

Blanche: "I'm afraid you'll have to excuse Sophia, Jack."
Sophia: "oh you heard that...I thought I was safe backed up against these pillows."

To Dorothy: "I tell the stories around here."

"Just a word of caution: Don't doze off, I think that's when the pods take over your body."

"Why does every fighter become an actor? Just once I'd like it the other way around; if for no other reason than to see Chevy Chase's butt get kicked."

"There's no shame in taking a dive. In Sicily it's a time-honored tradition."

You know, speaking as a half-Sicilian, I should probably object to the constant, negative image this show painted of Sicily. :rolleyes:

I've actually read an entire book about the country, and it's actually a beautiful Mediterrian island, which, because of its size, has a history of being invaded and conquered by numerous different countries. Mount Etna has provided the most unique lava-infused soil that grows the world's most delicious lemons. Sadly, a recent segment on 60 Minutes revealed that the Mafia, does indeed, still run rampant there, tainting even the olive oil the island produces. Sad :(

But considering it's my favorite sit-com, and I love Betty White so much, I guess I'll just let my sense of humor override my sense of outrage, and take it for what it was meant....a silly attempt at humor at the expense of a random country. Guess we Sicilians have tough hides :lol:

"We was po'."

"When she was fifteen I caught her under a pile of hillbillies. Picture it: me with a crowbar, pryin' off cousins left and right."

"she's mopey, dopey and full of crap, rose's sister" lol

"Well pardon me while I play the grand piano."

"I've said it before and I'll say it again: sluts just heal quicker."

"You've ridden more winners than Willie Shoonmaker."

The silliest I can think of was when she stole the Pope's ring, and told Dorothy "This could be my shot at getting into the Bible!" :lol:

If Tony calls tell him I faked it! Well I did. "Oh baby oh baby oh baby" Oh please!

To Amish Miles: "Silly rabbi, tricks are for kids."

"I'd rather live with a lesbian than a cat.......unless the lesbian sheds, then I don't know........" :stressed:

"Absolutely.......if Blanche ever found out Danny Thomas was a lesbian it would break her heart!"

To Blanche: "You know what else I can't stand anymore? That phony accent of yours. What is this, 'Designing Women'?"

One of my favorite moments in the series...

Sophia: [walks a little bit closer] Hey Puh-feiffer, how would you like a punch in your puh-face?

To Blanche: "You've been in every position more than once."

Sophia: Way to go pussycat. Give Blanche an office with a couch and a license to charge by the hour

"Right! After 80, every year without a headstone is a milestone."

"Pleeease. In bed she only knows her right from her left."

Sophia: Rose, just remember, you're smarter than people say you are. You've got good sense, and you know what you're doing

"What a tool."

https://www.bing.com/th?id=OIP.d8kIfpbbt21mfGzN3tawfwHaFN&pid=1.1

"So what? I'm old. I'm supposed to be colorful."

https://www.bing.com/th?id=OIP.VqGFHDcmYcO6ug5ZkQ-JaAHaKr&pid=1.1

"It's a miracle!"

"And the next time I answer an ad, it'll be from one of Blanche's magazines those people know what they want."

Sophia: Please! I had to turn you away from the window so you wouldn't inhale the drapes!

"Not part of the show, people, not part of the show."

"What recovering? I'm back one hundred percent, knock wood. (knocks on door.)Come in."

"...family is sacred where I come from."

Sophia: It's a nightmare, we've been visited by the Yutz of Christmas Past.

"Every one'll think they're at Trader Vic's!"

"Cartoons don't lie."

"Death sucks."

Sophia: Dorothy, I know you don't get many dates, but stick with what you know. At your age, it's very hard to break into something new. G'night.

"What I am, a poodle?"

Sophia: Enjoy it while it lasts, now good night.

"...he didn't look Italian."

Sophia: Excuse me Rose, have I given any indication at all that I care?

"I'll get the butter. We may have to grease the doorway to get the three of you out of here."

Sophia: I think there's a connection between your brain and wallpaper paste.

Sophia: Jealousy is an ugly thing, Dorothy. And so are you, in anything backless.

Sophia: [on Mrs. Claxton] To throw some holy water on her. If she spits up pea soup and her head spins around, we're in big trouble!

Sophia: Jean is a nice person. She happens to like girls instead of guys. Some people like cats instead of dogs. Frankly, I'd rather live with a lesbian than a cat.

After 80, every year without a headstone is a milestone!
— Sophia Petrillo

"Please, I’m 80! Bathtubs are dangerous!"

Sophia: Oh, Dorothy. Can I make a little suggestion when you go for your makeover?

"Don't ever change, Pussycat."

"Dorothy, anger is a lot like a piece of shredded wheat caught under your dentures. If you leave it there, you get a blister, and you gotta eat Jell-O all week. If you get rid of it, the sore heals, and you feel better."

Sophia:
Please. You've lived here for two months; there's nothing interesting about you.

"In the future, a simple 'None of your business, Sophia' will suffice."

To Dorothy: "You ought to have 'yutz' tattooed on you forehead."

But Dorothy.....this could be my chance to get into the Bible!!!

"No argument from this corner."

"And shiny on top. Don't forget shiny on top."

Rose: "Blanche, I swear, sometimes you sound just like a woman I knew in St. Olaf!"

Sophia: "Please! No one say, "what woman"?

Dorothy (after finding out a would be hold up man's a fake): I'm appalled!

Sophia: So am I, Dorothy! You can't tell the difference between a real gun and a toy gun! And you call yourself Italian?

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dd/d3/09/ddd309be85d04b82610c575a8f8c8c5f.gif

"Chess is like war. It's a perfect game for Sicily, a country very war-like and dead-ass broke."

To Dorothy: "You've been with a man, haven't you?"

"There are two things in life a Sicilan knows. When pasta sticks to a wall, it's done. When a body sticks to concrete, it's dead."

To Blanche: "Your life is an open blouse."

"... all conspired to make a night of enchantment."

To Dorothy: "Look, the senior citizens center is divided into three cliques: the hip group, the not so hip group, and the broken hip group. Which one would you want to be in?"

*Blanche’s boyfriend, Jerry Kennedy and his mama are over*

Dorothy: I don’t know when I had a sponge cake quite so…moist. LOL!

Jerry: Very moist.

Rose: The moistest.

Sophia: I found the tea rather moist as well. LOL!

*Dorothy looks at Sophia*

Sophia: What? I can’t feel uncomfortable too?

Sam: But I hate nectarines!

Sophia Petrillo: You gotta keep up your strength.

Sam: Sophia, it's no use, once they messed up my blood transfusion, there wasn't anything anybody could do.

Sophia Petrillo: Crazy talk, comes from not eating enough fresh fruit.

Sam: Sophia, nobody's ever beaten it.

Sophia Petrillo: But someday they will, and it could be tomorrow, and it could be you. I believe it, and you have to too, because in this life, that's all we have, is hope.

Sam: And a nectarine?

Sophia Petrillo: And a nectarine.

"Quiet. I work alone."

Sophia Petrillo: Rose, before you bring out the sauce, tell us what ingredient you added to it?

"Forget, I do plenty of."

Sophia: Hey, who told her to feed me cabbage?

"What's with Satan's secretary?"

To Dorothy: "Well, if your brother hadn't been stumped by long division..."

"Well, it's not like having a war hero in the family."

"He knows Phil like a book."

"Pull yourself together, Pussycat. Gershwin confused a lot of people."

“No matter how bad things get, remember these sage words: You’re old, you sag, get over it.”

"...owns a goat. In Sicily that makes you a yuppie."

“Let me tell you girls the three most important things I learned about life: number one, hold fast to your friends; number two, there’s no such thing as security; and number three, don’t go see Ishtar. Woof.” – Sophia

To Blanche: "Thank you, you bed-hopping relic."

Sophia: [referring to the bench] Someone sitting there?

To Dorothy: "Good night, Spumoni Face."

"When I order at Fung Chows....and I say "No MSG"......do they really put it in anyway"? :confused:

"Ohhh, ye of little faith."

"Men are built that way."

"Ingrid Bergman had Paris; my Pussycat has crabs."

"My guess is a small barge."

Sophia: Sticks and stones can break your bones, but cement pays homage to tradition.

I hope you packed a tight butt!

"I don't know. But I'll tell you one thing....the next time we go to the Colonel, I'm getting all white meat....and the biscuit".

Rose: I don't drink before bedtime. I stop all liquids at noon and I still wake up.

You're Blanche's daughter the model, what did she model car covers?

I’ll try but if they serve me cauliflower, it’s in God’s hands.

When you get to my age you start recognizing the 3 warning signs of death.

- You can't eat cream of wheat cause it's too spicy.
- Your children start visiting during the week
- Your doctor won't let you post date a check.

Sophia: Hey, it's not like the guys in my family never kissed a man. Of course, that was business. Although there was that one hit man who always had to have a flower in his lapel and would hold the kiss of death a little longer than he had to.

"Frankly, I'd rather live with a lesbian than a cat. Unless the lesbian sheds, then I don't know." :confused:

Sophia: No matter how bad things get, remember these sage words: You're old, you sag, get over it.

"Your fiery Latin entertainers have a very short fuse."

"My daughter just found out she has a debilitating disease!" :)

And I bet you loved showing it to him

I got it, nobody told me. I didn't get it, nobody told me. I figured, "This is life," and ate my meatballs.

"It's a little thing I do!"

Blanche Devereaux:
Girls. Do you see that man over there staring at me? He's undressing me with his eyes.

Rose Nylund:
Do you want to move to another table?

Blanche Devereaux:
Not yet. He's only half done.

My favorite quote don't remember the.episode

Dorothy and Rose were sitting in the kitchen and Sophia was eavesdropping at the door.

Sophia I wasn't listening at the door
Dorothy Oh no, Why was your nose in the crack?
Rose That's what the sparrow said

"Pablo Personality."

"I know. Me and Mighty Mouse."

Reminds me of the place I met Charles de Gaulle. We were lovers, you know.

Two things happen when you become my age over 80:
1. You become more intuitive about the weather
2. Corn becomes your enemy



Maybe the doctor is right. I do need all 3 pills a day.

I got it, nobody told me. I didn't get it, nobody told me. I figured, "This is life," and ate my meatballs.

Sophia: "In Sicily we have a simple rule. If your husband dies, you wait 20 years or until you grow a mustache."

"What do you think of the dress?"

“Let me tell you a story. Picture it: Sicily…”—Sophia

"They'll think it's time to elect a new town slut!"

Sophia: Finally, now we can break out that bottle of champagne we’ve been saving.

"I hear you're a tramp, Rose."

DOROTHY: "If you had your choice between Paul Newman's picture on a jar, or yours, which would you choose?"

SOPHIA: "Back to square one....."

Dorothy: Ma, where are you going with all that food?
Sophia: I'm stashing it away from Rose's mother. She's on a special diet. I hate those people. You turn your back for a second, boom boom, your food is gone. Anything on your plate is suddenly on their diet.
Dorothy: Oh, come on, Ma. You haven't even met Rose's mother.
Sophia: I know a lot of old people. They're all the same. They're cranky, they're demanding, they repeat themselves. They're cranky, they're demanding...

"I'm a poor immigrant with a third grade education."

Everyone wants someone to grow old with, and shouldn't everyone have that chance?

"...not that I'm such a fan of squirrel gumbo."

Finally, now we can break out that bottle of champagne we’ve been saving.

"Shame. I feel shame."

Sophia: [to Dorothy] I can't believe you're denying your own mother.

To Lt. Alvarez: "What are you, a rookie?"

"Now it's a celebration."

"Stuff like this could put a real damper on happy hour."

"Do you see Molly Ringwald sitting here?"

"And looking out at this kennel club, that was no small accomplishment."

To Dorothy: "You're the only person who ever got a refund on call waiting."

"I used to be known as the Don King of Sicily."

"Everyone wants someone to grow old with, and shouldn't everyone have that chance?"

"Even the seagulls stopped listening."

"Rose's husband was a bookie?"

"An even bigger racket."

I never liked Sophia at all. She's a spiteful, mean, vindictive and cruel witch. My LEAST favorite thing Sophia ever said was when she made that cruel and tactless "joke" to Blanche's overweight daughter. She says: "You're Blanche's daughter, the model.... what did you model? Car covers"? Also, her ignorant stereotypes about Chinese people when she was questioning Dorothy's doctor. I could go on and on. I loathe Sophia.

What!? Can't we learn from history?

"You want poetry, you listen to Neil Diamond. You want good advice, you listen to your mother."

I'll be damned! The black guy is prejudiced!
