Blanche: Dorothy, I- I don't know what to say.
Dorothy: I understand, Blanche.
Blanche: Oh, no, you don't. See, I used to think I was a miracle worker, that nobody could do what I do at the museum. And then you came and learned my job in less than a week and I realized any idiot can do what I do.
Dorothy: And you were afraid you couldn't find the right words to apologize.
Blanche: There are no right words, Dorothy. Words cannot begin to ease the pain I've inflicted on you. But I want to do something to make it up to you. I want to give you something personal, something from the heart. The most beautiful thing I own, to the most beautiful person I know. Let me see, I guess that would be my emerald earrings. I'm sure as hell not gonna give you those. But I want to give you something special. Something personal. I know, how about a personal check for $75? And on the bottom I'm going to write, "Because I was a big fat jerk."
Dorothy: Blanche, I don't want your check.
Blanche: Dorothy, please, I am trying desperately to find some way to tell you I'm sorry.
Dorothy: OK, I will take the check but I'm not going to cash it. I'm going to keep it as a reminder for the next time you behave like a big fat jerk.
