Rose: Really, Blanche, what could be so important about a building?
Blanche: I will tell you what is so important. It was my home away from home as a child. Especially my bedroom. Grammy and I would have all our late night talks up there. And now they're tearin' it down.
Rose: Oh, that's terrible.
Blanche: My Grammy's plantation was the one place I consistently felt loved as a child. Now they're gonna put a steel ball through her house, through my room. Oh, don't you see? It's just like they're killin' a part of me.
