Rose Quote #151
Quote from Rose in Blind Ambitions
Lily: Oh, Rose, I really appreciate what you're doing for me. I really do.
Rose: Don't mention it.
Lily: Could you please get me a glass of water?
Rose: Sure. Lily, you've been here a week now. You know where the kitchen is.
Lily: Well, I figured the way I've been crashing into everything, you'd rather get it.
Rose: Maybe you should get your drink of water yourself.
Lily: I thought you said you'd look after me, Rose.
Rose: Lily, if you can't even get yourself a drink of water, you're helpless. And that scares me.
Lily: How do you think I feel?
Rose: Well, I think you're scared too, but you won't admit that you need help. Professional help to get on with your life. Oh, I've given this a lot of thought, Lily, and I really think it's the best way.
Lily: Rose, you're not coming back to Chicago with me, are you?
Rose: No.
Lily: How can you turn your back on your own sister?
Rose: I'm not turning my back on you. I love you. I'm just trying to do what I think is best for you.
Lily: What you think is best? What do you know about being blind?
Rose: Oh, Lily, this is very painful for me. Please don't make it any harder than it already is.
Lily: I'm sorry, Rose. I'm sorry. I promise, I won't ever ask you for anything again.

Quote from Rose
Rose: Oh, we used to cook outdoors all the time when we were kids. Remember our camping trips, Lily?
Lily: Oh, I sure do. During the summer, our father would take the whole family on camping trips into the wilderness. Of course, it wasn't really the wilderness. He'd drive in circles for about 20 minutes and then end up in the woods just beyond the barn. It was years before all the kids caught on to Dad's trick.
Rose: What do you mean, just beyond the barn?
Quote from Blanche
Dorothy: You know, when I was in college, I taught school part-time at one of those schools for the blind. It is really amazing what they can accomplish.
Lily: Oh, I went to one of those schools for a little while. It's just a lot of talking and hand-holding. Never been so bored in my life. I think I'm just the kind of person that likes to get out there and do it.
Rose: Did you know that my sister Lily still holds the record at our high school for the 100-yard dash? She served three terms on the city council, and she was the first woman in St. Olaf's to ever have a pilot's license.
Blanche: Oh, really? Well, we have something in common, Lily. I was the first woman in my hometown ever to have a pilot.
Dorothy: Blanche's bed is next to the X-15 at the Space and Aviation Museum.
Quote from Blanche
Blanche: Oh, I just love barbecues. We used to have the most wonderful ones back home. I can remember sitting out under a big old tree with the Darcy triplets: Hank, Beau and Dove. Eating and talking and laughing. And then along towards the end of the meal, why, the boys always got into a fight over who was going to get to lick the barbecue sauce from my fingertips and kiss away the little droplet of butter that always drizzled down my chin. Oh, has it gotten awful hot out here?
