Blanche Quote #535
Quote from Blanche in Charlie's Buddy
Rose: I just don't know what to do.
Dorothy: Well, frankly, Rose, I think you're just rushing things. But, I don't know. Maybe it's better to live with Buddy than to just charge full steam ahead and marry him.
Blanche: No, it isn't. This is morally wrong. It is epically offensive. It's an out and out sin.
Dorothy: Why do I feel like I just fell through the looking glass?
Rose: Blanche, how can you, of all people, say something like that?
Blanche: Well, Rose Nylund, I have never lived with a man without the benefit of marriage.
Dorothy: Excuse me, Blanche, I think what you mean is you have never lived with a man without benefit of room service.
Blanche: Being with a man is not the same thing as living with a man.
Dorothy: You're right, Blanche. Living with a man eliminates the need for an overnight bag and a stop at the drugstore.
Blanche: And the need for marriage. Family and tradition. Not to mention wedding showers, catered affairs, the bridal registry at Burdines.

Quote from Blanche
Dorothy: Blanche, have you ever met a man you didn't think was giving you the eye?
Blanche: Once, in 1976. But it was only two days later that Mr. President Jimmy Carter announced to the American people that he had secretly lusted in his heart.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Dorothy, let me tell you a story. Picture it. Sicily, 1922. A young military officer stationed far from home. He wanders the streets seeking a friendly face and a glass of Chianti. Finally, he happens into a dusty little cafe where he finds both. The man laughs for the first time in months. And finds inspiration in a beautiful peasant girl, wise beyond her years. When the cafe is closed, she takes him home with her. Three glorious days, they make love and drink wine. He returns to his command prepared to lead his people through whatever battles need to be fought. Dorothy, that young peasant girl was me. And that young man was Winston Churchill.
Dorothy: Ma, you made that whole thing up. Now what is your point?
Sophia: That I made it up. It was a little lie that gave me a lot of pleasure. If Rose is happy, and there was no harm done, let her have that.
Quote from Rose
Rose: The Wigleys were a revered family. Yeah, until the scandal. Oh, it was just terrible. The Navy came to town to take bids for a big submarine contract. They said they wanted three submarines built for around a million dollars. Well, Finneas said he could make 100 for half the money. So, of course, he got the contract. When the Navy came to check on the progress, six months later, they discovered there'd been a misunderstanding. Finneas had made 100 hoagie heroes for $500,000. He claimed the reason they were so expensive was he had used all imported meats and cheeses.
