Quote from Dorothy in Big Daddy
Blanche: My father is not off on some crazy lark, Dorothy. He sold our house and our land and everything he spent his lifetime building. He needs help. I never thought this could happen to my father. Other people's parents get old and grow frail and need taking care of, but somehow I'd always thought Big Daddy would go on forever. Dorothy: Honey, we all think of our fathers that way. We remember them as strong and handsome and wise.
