Blanche Quote #206

Quote from Blanche in End of the Curse

Dorothy: I don't think you met Blanche.
Blanche: No, he has not. I would have remembered. Thank you for coming. A man as brilliant as you must be terribly busy.
Sophia: The change of life didn't change her life.
Dr. Parks: Well, it's no mystery. The minks won't breed because they're too old.
Dorothy: You're kidding.
Blanche: Isn't he brilliant?
Dr. Parks: Somebody sold you minks that are too old to breed. They're worn out. They're not interested anymore.
Blanche: You mean you can be too old?
Dr. Parks: Rodents can be, not humans.
Blanche: Is that a theory or is that based on personal experience?
Dr. Parks: Both.
Blanche: Doctor, there's a lizard out on the lanai that's looking awful piqued lately. I wonder if you'd mind taking a look.
Dr. Parks: Not at all.
Blanche: Oh, I'm just so worried about the poor little thing, I just can't sleep at all. You know, I'm such a lover of animals. [exits with Dr. Parks]
Dorothy: Boy, she could be in a coma. Put a man within five miles, she'd roll over and shave her legs.

Sophia: I got it, nobody told me. I didn't get it, nobody told me. I figured, "This is life," and went back to my meatballs.

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Well, my whole childhood, I kept hearing about the curse. How when I was 13, I was going to get the curse. I was absolutely terrified. The year of my 13th birthday, I slept with the lights on all year. Oh, I was sure there was a witch behind every wisteria. I didn't go out on Halloween. I was a wreck. But the year went by and no curse. Then the next year went by, no curse. Then finally, when I was 15, Mama took me to the doctor because I still didn't have the curse. And he said, "Blanche, do you mean to tell me you still don't have your period?" I said, "Well, of course I have my period, you fool. I'm not a child. I've had my period for almost two years. It's the curse I don't have."
