Quote from Dorothy in Love Me Tender

Blanche: Come here, Eddie. Sit down here. Listen, what Dorothy is trying to tell you... What's that cologne you're wearing?
Eddie: I'm not wearing cologne.
Blanche: But that's impossible. It smells kind of like a mixture of Old Spice and musk and...
Eddie: And a porterhouse steak?
Blanche: Yes.
Eddie: That's me. The smell really gets intense when I sweat.
Blanche: Really? Well, I'd be curious to find out just how...
Rose: Blanche! Blanche! Now, look here, Eddie. Now, you listen to me. Dorothy has decided she wants nothing more to do with you. I can't understand why because I think you have about the cutest ears I've ever seen on a man in my entire life. They make you kind of look like Bambi. Marry me, Eddie.
Eddie: Ladies, ladies, please! This always happens. I'm cursed. Ever since I was a little kid, I've been absolutely irresistible to women. I know I'm a little plain to look at...
Blanche: No, you're not plain at all.
Rose: Oh, you're adorable.
Dorothy: Cute as a button.

Rose: Oh, that's very true. Back in St. Olaf, Ollie Canudenspringle and his wife Bridget were opposites in every way. I mean, he was fat, she was thin. He was neat, she was sloppy. He was tall, she was short. He was cheap, she was extravagant. He was...
Sophia: Opposites. We get the picture.
Rose: Well, anyway, I'll never forget the time they sang at our annual talent show, right after the herring juggling act.
Blanche: You mean to tell me that somebody actually juggled herring.
Rose: No. It was the herring who did the juggling. Tiny little Ginsu knives. Really very dangerous. I mean, one false move, they could have filleted themselves.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: Oh, the "Be a Pal" program? Well, each week, you get a motherless girl and be her pal. Help her with her homework and take her to movies and have dinner together.
Dorothy: That's very interesting. Maybe I could get involved with that. How about you, Blanche?
Blanche: Sure. Why, nothing would be more satisfying than to be of loving service to a lonely, motherless child.
Of course, I'll have to see pictures of the father before I commit.

Quote from Rose

Eddie: I'm sorry. I'm still not really recovered. You see, after 25 years of marriage, my wife Roberta sent me a Dear John letter.
Rose: That's terrible. Married 25 years and she doesn't know your name is Eddie?
