Rose : Oh, that's a lovely dress you wearing.
Danny : Isn't it?
Theresa : Oh, thank you!
Rose : Even though it is a little big on top.
Danny : Ma!
Rose : Well, it is, you said so yourself.
Danny : Ma!
Theresa : No, no that's a problem I have, I'm not really that endowed on top.
Danny : No, no, no, no, no.
Rose : You're built like a thirteen year old boy.

Danny : [takes both his mother and Theresa out to dinner for them to meet for the first time] Ma, this is Theresa. Theresa, this is my mother.
Theresa : [smiles, shaking her hand] Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Muldoon.
Rose : Rose. I'm Rose.
Theresa : Rose.
Rose : Mm-hmm. Oh, that's a lovely dress you're wearing.
Theresa : Oh, thank you.
Rose : Even though it is a little big on top.
Danny : Ma.
Rose : Well, it is. You said so yourself.
Theresa : No, that's a-a problem I have. I'm really not that endowed on top.
Rose : You're built like a thirteen-year-old boy.

[the waiter arrives to take their drink orders and Theresa requests a vodka double on the rocks]
Rose : A vodka drinker.
Danny : Well, ma, Theresa's probably a little nervous, you know, being here with us and all. You know, you can understand that.
Rose : It's the first signs of alcoholism.
Danny : What?
Rose : I read it in Reader's Digest.
Theresa : Rose, I can assure you I'm not an alcoholic.
Rose : Oh, denial - that's another symptom. The article said that one shot of vodka was equal to all of the calories in a ham sandwich.
Theresa : [laughs] Good. Maybe then I'll gain some weight and grow breasts for you.
[Rose looks at her distastefully and says nothing]
