"She's been a voice for a silent group of women that are glad that this cranky old woman is finally saying what she wants." The voice of Maxine comes out as: "My soul's had enough chicken soup. It wants some chocolate." "My idea of feng shui is to have them arrange the pepperoni in a circle on my pizza." "I may be old, but people who look like me always win the lottery."
