- Miriam 'Midge' Maisel: Why do we have to pretend to be stupid when we're not stupid? Why do we have to pretend to be helpless when we're not helpless? Why do we have to pretend to be sorry when we have nothing to be sorry about? Why do we have to pretend we're not hungry when we're hungry? Fuck you, Sophie! Put that on your plate!
- Abe Weissman: Oh, and Mordecai Glickman is no longer with us.
- Rose Weissman: Since when?
- Abe Weissman: Since we went to his funeral four years ago!
- Rose Weissman: I hope you like applesauce and peach slices, Mr. Blumenthal.
- David Blumenthal: I like whatever you're serving.
- Rose Weissman: Good! Because that's what we're serving. Applesauce and peach slices and mashed potatoes and consommé and hard-boiled eggs and puréed cauliflower and pudding for dessert. Your teeth will wonder what they're there for.
