Blanche Quote #131

Quote from Blanche in The Operation

Dorothy: It's not as bad as it looks. The doctor says I'm fine. I just have to take it a little easy for a few days, that's all.
Sophia: You're lying!
Rose: Oh, Sophia, Dorothy wouldn't lie!
Sophia: A mother knows when her child is lying, it's like bat radar. Now what did the doctor really say?
Sophia: He said I have to have surgery.
Rose: [gasps] Surgery? For what?
Dorothy: For kicks, Rose! No, I have a condition called Morton's Neuroma.
Blanche: Oh, I think I had that once. But how the heck did you ever catch it in your foot?

Quote from Rose

Rose: Hey, we've all got our sad stories.
Blanche: What?
Rose: Look, Blanche, we've practiced for six weeks. We've paid for our costumes, we told everybody we'd be there! You're not gonna wimp out on me. You're gonna go to that recital. If you end up in a puddle tonight, well, you'd just better break into "Singin' in the Rain"!

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Rose, I have a confession to make. Flying isn't the only thing I'm afraid of. I also have a fear of performing. In front of groups, that is.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: I know what she means, Ma. I just don't need to hear it the night before surgery!
Sophia: Come on, don't be such a baby! I had my appendix out in a hospital in Sicily. That was rough!
Rose: Why?
Sophia: They didn't believe in anesthesia back then. They had a nurse hold a pillow over your face so the other patients couldn't hear your screams. You had to pay extra for that. Sicily, love it or leave it.
