Dorothy: Oh, Rose. Rose, honey, now why didn't you tell us what was going on?
Rose: Because you can't help me find a job. Because nobody or nothing can make me young again.
Dorothy: Oh, all right, Rose, so your life isn't the same as it used to be. The rules have changed, but it's happened before, hasn't it? I mean, what did you do after Charlie died?
Rose: Buried him.
Dorothy: I mean, what did you do the next day when you had to start putting your life together?
Rose: I couldn't do it. I'd been a housewife for 32 years. I totally depended on Charlie.
Dorothy: Yeah, but the point is, eventually you did what you had to do. You took care of yourself. Sweetheart, you're now in exactly the same position.
Rose: Not exactly. I'm five years older and nobody wants me around.
Blanche: Oh, honey, we want you around. We just can't afford to pay you.
