[flashback:]
Rose: How could you do this to me, Blanche? You knew I wanted to spend tonight alone.
Blanche: Rose, nobody who says they want to be alone on New Year's Eve ever really means it.
Rose: I did.
Blanche: Well, you're a freak. Besides, it's bad luck if you don't get kissed at midnight. Why, my New Year's Eve kiss is the most important one of the whole year. It sets the tone for the next 365 days. One year, I didn't get kissed at midnight on New Year's Eve, I didn't get lucky till after the Orange Bowl.
