Rose Quote #17

Quote from Rose in Rose the Prude

Arnie: Rose, Rose, are you still in there? This is crazy! Look, I talked to the purser. Another cabin is available and I'll move to it. But I need to get in the bathroom, Rose. I hate to go anywhere without my Actifed. [Rose opens the door] Good morning.
Rose: I can't let you see my eyes. They look terrible from crying.
Arnie: Rose, you couldn't possibly look terrible to me. I left my contact lenses in the bathroom.
Rose: I'm sorry. I am so sorry.
Arnie: Yeah, it can be awkward.
Rose: I thought I could do it, I really did. And then I couldn't. You see, it would have been the first time since my husband died.
Arnie: I figured it was the first time. It's been 15 years since he died, huh? Boy, he must have been something.
Rose: This may sound silly, but it's true. I felt I would be unfaithful to Charlie if I slept with you.
Arnie: Rose, it's not silly. I felt that way when my wife died.
Rose: You did?
Arnie: Absolutely. 'Course I didn't let that stop me.
Rose: You mean you'd just make love and feel lousy?
Arnie: Well, I'd feel lousy about it. But otherwise, I'd feel terrific. Look, that's the difference between men and women, I guess. We can do it no matter what.

Quote from Dorothy

Dorothy: Honey, lean over a mirror some time and take a look at yourself.
Blanche: Where's a mirror?
Sophia: There's one in the tool drawer.
Dorothy: I think you'd better take a sedative before you look.
Blanche: Don't be silly. I look at my face all the time. How different could it be leaning over? Oh, my God! Oh, my God, Dorothy, why didn't you tell me about this before?
Dorothy: Only on your back, Blanche. That way everything slides back and you look like you just had a face lift.
Blanche: Oh, you're right. I'm gorgeous. I'm gonna have to meet men lying down.
Sophia: I thought you did.
Dorothy: Of course that way, not only does your face fall back, but your chest does too. Unfortunately, it falls back and off to the side.

Quote from Dorothy

Dorothy: Oh, it was a terrible time for me. You know, I'd gone on an eating binge when Stan left and I put on quite a bit of weight. Plus, I was not a 20-year-old. You know, when you're 20, no matter what you do, everything stays where it's supposed to. Now, when you lean over, it looks like somebody's let the air out of your face.

Quote from Dorothy

Rose: Arnie wants me to go away with him on a cruise to the Bahamas.
Blanche: Oh, and you're upset because he wants you to pay your own way?
Rose: I'm upset because we'll be all alone. In the middle of the ocean. On a ship. In a state room. With a bed.
Blanche: Oh.
Rose: I don't know what to do. I haven't been with a man in that special way since Charlie died.
Blanche: Get out of here!
Rose: It's true! Charlie was the only lover I ever had. And my first time was on our wedding night.
Blanche: Get out of here!
Dorothy: Oh, back off, Blanche! Not all of us are classified by the Navy as a friendly port!
