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!

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.

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

phoebe7165 · 07-24-2008, 02:19 PM

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!!

mrsmatthewperry · 07-25-2008, 09:39 PM

Those are all so funny Estelle will be sorely missed!

SherryLH · 07-26-2008, 07:44 PM

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?

GARFIELDKOOL · 07-26-2008, 08:50 PM

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

storrs19 · 07-27-2008, 07:04 AM

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.

storrs19 · 07-28-2008, 07:45 AM

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.

guestguest · 07-29-2008, 08:37 PM

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."
