Quote from Dorothy in The Bloom Is Off the Rose
Blanche: Are you all right? Dorothy: I'm OK. Blanche: I'm so sorry, Dorothy. I don't know what to say. Dorothy: Honey, I'm fine. Blanche: You know, until I saw him grab you, I-I just couldn't see what he was. Dorothy: Listen, you know, it could've been a lot worse. Most people in an abusive relationship have to hit bottom before they can get out. You were lucky. Sophia: Your bottom is a lot higher than most people's.
