Season 7, Episode 19 - "Journey to the Center of Attention"
When Rose and Sophia return home from Doug Kirkpatrick's wake, they both express how much fun they had. Sophia particularly enjoyed the wonderful things people said about him, but sadly, he wasn't alive to hear them. What does this experience inspire Sophia to do?
She wants to throw her own wake to hear the things people say about her.
Sophia: Dorothy, how would you like to go to a wake next Friday?
Dorothy: Ma, you know how I feel about those things. They're so sad and depressing. Whose wake is it anyway?
Sophia: Mine.
Dorothy: What time?
Rose: No, she's serious. Next Friday, Sophia's going to throw her own wake. Food, drinks, music. The only difference will be she'll be alive...God willing.
Dorothy: Wait a minute, what are you talking about?
Sophia: At Doug's wake, people got up and said wonderful things about him, but he wasn't there to hear it. I don't want that to happen to me. I want to hear how people feel about me. I want to be there to listen as they salute my grace, my wit, my inner beauty.
Dorothy: Ma, writers cost money.
