Mrs. Claxton: Stop wasting the taxpayers' money. Yank out that tree and start pouring cement.
Rose: Mrs. Claxton, think about what you're doing. That beautiful old tree is 200 years old. How can you hate a living thing?
Mrs. Claxton: I hate you.
Rose: That's it! I have had all I'm gonna take from you. Now, if you don't have the common decency to treat people like human beings, then I'm sure as hell not gonna waste my time kissing your fanny. Now, if you don't like it, Mrs. Claxton, you just sit there and shut up while we have our say. And if you don't like it, just drop dead. Go on, Dorothy. [Mrs. Claxton falls to the ground]
Dorothy: What happened?
Sophia: You know you told her to "Drop dead"?
Rose: Yes.
Sophia: I think she did.
