- Blanche: [having kicked Dorothy out of the Elvis club] Well I... I hope you're not too upset over this, Dorothy.
- Dorothy: ...I've just been thrown out of an unauthorized 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: ...And if you see Max, I don't want you making another scene - like you did at the funeral!
- Sophia Petrillo: Scene? What scene? It's not my fault the klutz tripped over my foot and nearly fell into an open grave!
- Dorothy: You didn't have to yell 'start shovelling boys!' as he tried to get up.
- Max Weinstock: [informing the gay caterer the wedding is cancelled because of Dorothy] She doesn't approve.
- Caterer: She doesn't approve? Now look here, stretch. I have a hundred cheese puffs and a sensitive assistant both on the verge of collapse. Whatever the problem is, overlook it. My mother did with my marriage.
- [Dorothy looks at him]
- Caterer: And if you say something smart, I'll slap you silly.
- Dorothy: Look if you don't mind, this is a private conversation, so butt out, Rambo.
- Dorothy: [Dorothy has just discovered Sophia and Max in bed together] Ma, what is going on here?
- Sophia Petrillo: Afterglow.
- Dorothy: Ma what's the matter?
- Sophia Petrillo: Esther Weinstock is dead. We grew up together, she was my best friend.
- Dorothy: I'm so sorry, what happened?
- Sophia Petrillo: She was fighting an oil rig fire in the Gulf of Mexico. She was 88!
- Rose: Well it's great that she was able to work right up till the end.
