Rose: We told you last night you were pushing away a terrific guy, and you did, didn't you?
Blanche: Yes, but you don't understand why I pushed John away.
Dorothy: You told us. Because he's blind.
Blanche: Yes, because he's blind. But you don't know what it meant, dating a blind man. John took away the one thing I'd always felt secure about, my looks. Now, how do I always attract men? By being pretty, by acting sexy, showing a little leg. With John, those things don't work. I spent half the time I was with him thinking, "What in the world does this man like about me?"
Dorothy: So you went back to Tom because you know what he likes.
Blanche: Yes, but the whole time I was with him I was miserable, 'cause I wanted to be with John.
