Quotes 

• [Rose didn't mention the "living" part to the guests of Sophia's living wake] 

  Blanche Devereaux : You idiot, everybody thinks she's dead now! Well, we're gonna have to tell them the truth before she comes out.

  Sophia Petrillo : [walking in]  Hey, everyone!

  [the guests gasp] 

  Sophia Petrillo : Thanks for coming to my wake! What do you think of the dress?

  [Sophia slowly spins; guests shriek and gasp; a woman faints] 

  Sophia Petrillo : Well, excuse me for buying off the rack!

• Rose Nylund : [Sophia and Rose come home, dressed in black, laughing]  Oh girls, we just went to Doug Kirkpatrick's wake. It was the greatest.

  Sophia Petrillo : I can't remember when I had so much fun. Those Irishmen! They even laid out Doug's body in the living room!

  Blanche Devereaux : Oh, that sounds morbid.

  Rose Nylund : I didn't have a problem with it. 'Til one of the relatives got drunk and started slow-dancing with the corpse. But even then it was surprisingly touching.

  Blanche Devereaux : And speaking of being touched, it's nickel beer night at The Rusty Anchor. I'm gonna get my purse, you get changed, 'cause we're goin'.

  Dorothy Zbornak : Oh, Blanche, what if no-one there wants to talk to me? What if nobody asks me to dance?

  Blanche Devereaux : Now Dorothy, think: if there's somebody out there who is willing to dance with a corpse, there's somebody willing to dance with you.
