media type="youtube" key="O6ha7TK13_0" height="344" width="425" Above is a clip of Sophia getting into her fight with the mayor's wife. Once she was told by the mayor's wife that she kept her children so clean, she asked if she'd like to be her maid. Sophia turned around and said "hell no." There was no way that she was going to work for her. This means a lot to go against the major's wife and this conflict leads to plenty more when the dispute is trying to get worked out.
