Sophia: Is he gonna leave his wife?
Dorothy: Ma, Ma, for the first time in a long time, I am really happy. So please, leave me alone!
Sophia: If you're so happy, how come I hear you pacing in your room night after night?
Dorothy: I can't sleep. I have a lot on my mind.
Sophia: I'll tell you what's on your mind. You hate yourself.

Quote from Rose

Rose: It was the first time I saw my Charlie. I was seven and he was eight. It was a hot Minnesota summer and he had put up one of those little stands on the sidewalk.
Blanche: Selling lemonade.
Rose: Insurance. And I bought a nickel policy on my red wagon. And right after that, my wagon was destroyed.
Blanche: How?
Rose: Some hogs trampled it. I was hauling home a smoked ham for Mama and I think it set them off. Anyway, that's when I fell in love with Charlie. He paid for a new wagon, even though my policy didn't cover acts of swine.
Dorothy: ... "Acts of swine."
