Quote from Dorothy in Blanche and the Younger Man
Rose: How can she talk to me like that? I'm only trying to take care of her. Dorothy: Honey, can I talk to you as one daughter to another? Do you remember way back when we were teenagers? What was the one thing that we wanted most from our mothers? Rose: A training bra? Dorothy: Honey, the thing we wanted most was to be treated as adults. But then as we get older, we turn right around and start treating our mothers like little girls. All your mother wants to do is be treated like a woman. Is that asking too much?
