Rusty: Howdy, ladies. My name's Rusty. I don't recollect seeing you two fillies 'round these parts. Mind if a lonesome cowboy puts his saddlebags 'round your campfire?
Dorothy: Give us a break, would you, mac?

Blanche: Oh! I got a million things to do before Big Daddy gets here. I have to go pick up his favorite food and his favorite brandy and cigars. I want him to feel right at home.
Sophia: Then get the Millers across the street to tar and feather their lawn jockey.

Rose: I'm gonna go out on the lanai for awhile. The air's always so nice and fresh after a storm.
Sophia: As long as you're out there, Rose, why don't you pull some weeds?
Rose: OK.
Dorothy: Ma, yesterday you said you were gonna pull the weeds.
Sophia: I said I'd get it done and it's getting done. So lighten up.

Dorothy: Ah, great news! I stopped by the courthouse this morning and got a copy of our property map. The tree definitely belongs to Mr. Barton and it is his responsibility to remove it.
Sophia: Play it safe. Stick with the curse.
Dorothy: Oh, Ma, I've stayed with you all these years.
[Sophia makes another Sicilian curse gesture towards Dorothy]

Blanche: Ladies, how do I look?
Sophia: Like the night hostess at Denny's.
Blanche: This is exactly like the dress I wore to my Sweet 16. It was always Big Daddy's favorite.

Blanche: Daddy, I want you to meet my best friends. This is Rose.
Big Daddy: Charmed.
Rose: Hello, how do you do?
Big Daddy: Has anyone ever told you you are the spitting image of Miss Dinah Shore?
Rose: Oh, no! [laughing] You're putting me on!
Blanche: Of course he is.

Blanche: Now, put that guitar down, I wanna talk to you.
Big Daddy: What's the matter?
Blanche: Well, I don't know what's gotten into you. Daddy, you're no singer.
Big Daddy: Well, I know I'm no Hank Williams yet, but-
Blanche: No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, at your age, just out of nowhere to decide you're just gonna go off and perform in some honky-tonk? I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty crazy to me.
Big Daddy: Now, don't you sass me, missy.
Blanche: Well, no, I don't mean to sass you, Daddy. It's just that I'm concerned about you. Now, I want you to promise me that you're gonna forget all about this nonsense and go back to Twin Oaks and have a nice long rest.
Big Daddy: There's no Twin Oaks to go back to. I sold it.
Blanche: You what?!
Big Daddy: Sold it. Sold everything. Well, now, if I'm gonna go out on the road and do this thing right, I need money.
Blanche: All right, this has gone far enough! I will not allow you to disgrace yourself or your family! I absolutely forbid you to go on with this foolishness one minute longer!
Big Daddy: You forbid Big Daddy? You're the one's gone crazy, girl! I'm sorry you had to witness this spectacle, ladies. My apologies.
Blanche: Oh, Big Daddy, wait.
Big Daddy: Too late! You know, if there was some rain coming down, and a soft train whistle in the distance, this moment would have the makings of a first-rate country song. Bye, Blanche.

Blanche: You know, when I think of my father, I don't remember just one incident. I just know that he was always there to take care of me whenever I got into trouble, which was all the time. I just never dreamed that the day would come when the tables were turned and I'd have to take care of him. But I guess it has.

Big Daddy: Blanche, honey, ever since I was a boy, I've never been satisfied with what was easy. I always wanted to try new things, see new places. But before I had a chance to do something like hop a tramp steamer, I met up with a lady by the name of Elizabeth Ann Bennett. She had the cutest little smile, tiniest button nose, and the most incredible blue eyes I had ever seen. Those are the things you inherited from her. And when I looked into those eyes, they told me it was not time to go off chasing rainbows. It was time to make a life for the two of us. And I never regretted that decision because I knew that someday, we'd go off chasing those rainbows together. But when the time finally came, all that was left was a big empty house. And a headstone that marks her grave. And I decided that before it was time for us to be together again, I was gonna go off and have that adventure. Now granted, this is no tramp steamer, but it's something. Something I've always wanted to do. And sugar, I think that now is finally the time to do it.
Blanche: But why didn't you tell me that before?
Big Daddy: I didn't think I needed to. I figured if I was happy, you were happy, too.
Blanche: Oh, Daddy. I'm so sorry. You've always been there for me. I should've been there for you. And, you think you could ever forgive me?
Big Daddy: Darlin', life's too short to not forgive my favorite little girl.
Blanche: I love you.
Big Daddy: I love you, too.
