Quote from Blanche in Love, Rose
Blanche: Rose, I have a date tonight so I'm borrowing your pearl earrings. Rose: You are? Well what if I'm using them? Blanche: Oh, honey, I would be so happy for you. But I know you don't have a date. Actually, the only woman I know who went without male companionship longer than you was Heather Swain, who went to the sanatorium for what Reverend Samuels insisted was the croup, but which all Mayflower County knew was a [whispering] social disease. Dorothy: Congratulations, Rose. A new record. And you've done it without needing [whispering] penicillin.
