** Sophia's flashback is to her 50th, when she and Dorothy still lived in Brooklyn. For context, she thought it was her forty-eighth until her husband showed her the paperwork immigration had screwed up when they came to America.
--->'''Sal''': Enough with this "old lady" business! You're acting like an ass! [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments You don't look fifty. You don't look forty-eight. You're just as beautiful as the day I married you.]]\\

* From "Beauty and the Beast":
** Sophia has been pretending to be malingering, sitting in a wheelchair and letting everyone fuss over her. Dorothy walks in on her trying to leave (on her own two feet) and singing merrily. This happens:
--->'''Dorothy''': Get back here, you deceitful little Sicilian gecko!\\
'''Sophia''': ''[thinks quickly, then says in a sickly sweet voice]'' I ''wuv'' you!\\
'''Dorothy''': ''[deadpan]'' Too ''wittle'', too ''wate''.
** When Sophia's nurse was driving the other girls insane...
--->'''Blanche''': Dorothy, at 2 AM this morning I was entertaining a gentleman caller, when she opened the door, at the ''most'' inopportune time. [[NoodleIncident I could have lost my balance and chipped a tooth!]]\\
'''Rose''': You think that's annoying. She came into my room last night when I was reenacting the gang-plank scene from ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan''!\\
'''Dorothy''': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAtDEx2kbww WHAT THE HELL GOES ON AT NIGHT IN THIS HOUSE?]]
** Of course, there's the ''way'' Sophia broke her ankles. She initially tries to blame Dorothy for it, who merely retorts, "Ma, you're the one who sneezed and blew yourself off the stool!" And why was she on the stool?
--->'''Dorothy:''' Ma, you know the rules. When we eat Mexican food ''you'' sit at the counter.
* After a near-death experience, Sophia went on a "live life to the fullest" kick. After a road trip, ''this'' happens:
-->'''Dorothy:''' I still cannot ''believe'' what you were doing on the interstate.\\
'''Sophia:''' I was living for the day, Pussycat!\\
'''Dorothy:''' ''YOU WERE MOONING A CHAIN GANG!''
-->'''Sophia:''' Did you see the smiles on their faces, they probably hadn't seen a woman in years!
-->'''Dorothy:''' No, I guess not. They kept up with us through ''four'' warning shots.

Added DiffLines:

* "Questions and Answers":
** Blanche tells Rose to close her eyes as she presents her present to Rose. Rose complies, and Blanche brings out a dog that starts licking Rose on the face. Rose's reaction?
--->'''Rose''': Very funny, Blanche. Just give me the present already.
** After Rose opens her eyes and gushes over the dog, she starts reminiscing about Rusty the dachshund that she and Charlie used to have. No one else is happy about this.
--->'''Dorothy''': [[OhNoNotAgain Oh, God, not the Rusty story again!]]\\
[...]\\
'''Blanche''': Oh, I wish I had a doggy-door, so I could shove your head through it.\\
[...]\\
'''Sophia''': Dorothy, do we have any candles? I'd like to drip some hot wax into my ears.

* Rose's extended dream sequence of her, Dorothy, and Blanche as severed heads, and Sophia with her head attached to the body of a 20-year-old, as well as Dorothy's disgusted reaction.

* "Home Again, Rose":
** In order to pose as the no-show alumni at the ClassReunion they're attending, Rose hands a name tag to each.
--->'''Rose''': Blanche, you're Susan Armstrong. Dorothy, you're Cindy Lou Peoples. Sophia, you're Myron Zucker.\\
''[Sophia stares at Rose with incredulity, while Rose shrugs]''\\
'''Sophia''': Rose, you idiot. There's no way I'd pass for a man. Dorothy, trade with me.\\
'''Dorothy''': Go to Hell, Myron. ''[turns to Rose]'' Uh, Rose, I don't think this is going to work, either.\\
'''Rose''': Of course it will work... or my name isn't Kim Fung Toi.

** The joke is (inadvertently) made that much funnier by a lone member of the StudioAudience who shrieks as if she is witnessing a murder ''both'' times Dorothy brings up the tea. Creator/BeaArthur maintains her composure, but it's a near thing.

* In "Love for Sale", during the [[BachelorAuction bachelorette auction]] where Dorothy is being bade on and Rose serves as its emcee, Stan enters and bids on her in a GrandRomanticGesture, starting his bid with $100. Dorothy tries to make Stan back down from continuing to bid on her by making a statement about what [[WouldRatherSuffer she'd rather do than go out with him]]. It does nothing to deter him, though HilarityEnsues as a random man reacts to her statement with an AccidentalBid, which Stan proceeds to outbid anyway.
