• Dot : Oh, it's you, Mother.

  Alice : No, dear, it's Madonna. Late 30s are hard on Italian women.

• Dot : You know, Mother, it's good to see that age hasn't slowed down your sarcasm, regardless of what it's done to your body.

  Alice : If I were a vain woman, I'd resent you for that. Fortunately for me, I'm a spiteful one!

• Dot : I haven't slept in days.

  Ellie : I can top that. I haven't slept WITH anyone in days. I feel miserable!

• Ellie : Picture this: It's a couple of months from now, Tippy Von Schlagger opens her new copy of Dazzle Magazine and guess what she sees?

  Dot Emerson : No, you'd be rich if you were me!
