Stay Golden

In memory of Estelle Getty - (July 25, 1923 - July 22, 2008).
She will remain with us forever as Sophia Petrillo!


Sophia's Funniest Moments:

[A game of Scrabble]
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.

Dorothy: Well, Mr. Pfeiffer...
Mr. Pfeiffer: That's P-feiffer. The 'p' is not silent.
Dorothy: Well, uh, Mr. P-feiffer, we're interested in arranging a funeral.
Mr. Pfeiffer [to Dorothy, Rose and Blanche]: Isn't that lovely. The three of you planning ahead for mother.
Sophia: Hey, uh, P-feiffer, how would you like a punch in your p-face!

Dorothy: Ma, what are you doing?
Sophia: Filling sandbags, Dorothy, there's a hurricane a-coming!
Dorothy: A-coming?!
Sophia: That's right. People only use the 'a' when a really big storm is a-coming or a-brewing, so grab a sack and start a-shoveling!
Dorothy: Ma, there is no hurricane a-coming.
Sophia: Don't patronize me!
Dorothy: I'm not patronizing you, I'm a-mocking you!

BLANCHE: I JUST STAND THERE IN ALL MY LUSCIOUS NAKEDNESS, AND SOMEHOW HE MANAGES TO SUPPRESS THE URGE TO THROW ME ON THE FLOOR AND RAVISH ME.
SOPHIA: PLEASE, IF HE THROWS YOU ON THE FLOOR YOU'LL BOTH END UP IN THE APARTMENT BELOW.
