Quote from Blanche in Ebb Tide
Virginia: Didn't hurt him half as much as when you were 18, went off to Europe with that guy, Phil. Blanche: It was Philippe. And Big Daddy understood how romantic it was to go live in Copenhagen with a tortured painter. Virginia: He painted houses, Blanche. You are the one who has never been here for the family. You. Blanche: I have always been here for this family, and how dare you say otherwise. Virginia: Everything you do is for Blanche. To tell you the truth, I am surprised that you even made it to the funeral at all. Blanche: Maybe you would have been happier if I hadn't. Virginia: Maybe not happier. But at least this family would be able to grieve for Big Daddy without wondering what is in it for Blanche. Blanche: Oh, fine. Hey, you don't have a thing to worry about. You won't have to think about Blanche. Because if you're gonna be at that funeral I refuse to go.
