Quote from Dorothy in Charlie's Buddy
Dorothy: It was about Rose and Buddy. That business of giving him money has been bothering me. So I've decided to do some checking on Buddy Rourke. And after a couple of phone calls I found out he had just retired after 45 years in the records department of the Army Pension Office. Blanche: I don't get it. Dorothy: That's how he knew about Charlie. They never served together. He just read his file. Blanche: But he knew all those things about Rose. Dorothy: He knew that she came from St. Olaf. I mean, everything else, Rose probably volunteered. You know her, a stranger says hello, and suddenly he's hearing the life story of Uncle Fingerbinger and his 30-pound rutabaga. Blanche: Then this is all just a scam to bilk Rose out of some money? Dorothy: Absolutely, and it is not the first time he's tried it.
