Quote from Dorothy in The Bloom Is Off the Rose
Dorothy: Blanche, this guy has gone past being a challenge. He is really treating you very badly. Blanche: Dorothy, you'll see. I'm just reeling him in. Dorothy: Blanche, look, I usually don't talk to you about the men you date. Blanche: Nor do I talk to you about the men you date. Oh, ha-ha. Listen to me. I made a joke. Dorothy: Blanche, this is no laughing matter. How can you take this kind of abuse? Blanche: Abuse? I'll have you know he has never raised a hand to me. Dorothy: Verbal abuse, Blanche. Blanche: He talks like that all the time. I just don't pay any attention. Dorothy: Blanche, you're making excuses for him.
