Quote from Blanche in Long Day's Journey into Marinara
Dorothy: Rose, honey, think of the positive things. Now, Count Bessie accomplished more in a few years on this earth than most chickens do in a lifetime. [to Blanche] Give me a break. I'm making this up as I go along. [to Rose] Above all else, that chicken was a great entertainer. And a great entertainer deserves to be remembered in a special way. Blanche: Yeah. Like with a roast at the Friars Club. [laughing] I was only kidding. Dorothy: Honey, it was just a joke. Blanche: And a pretty darn good one.
