Blanche Quote #725
Quote from Blanche in High Anxiety
Blanche: It was just after I'd lost George, and it just seemed an appropriate thing to do.
Dorothy: Of course it did. Your husband had just died.
Blanche: So what? I hadn't. The point is, I was still feeling a little vulnerable, and I was afraid if I got intimate with somebody too quickly, I might end up getting hurt, so I just gave it up, cold turkey.
Rose: And it worked for you, Blanche?
Blanche: Well, not entirely. Barely a month had gone by before I started feeling those awful stirrings and urgings. I was like a spring-bloomin' peach bud just ripened to dewy fruition, waitin' to be plucked by the first handsome man to come my way.
Dorothy: You were looking for some nooky.
Blanche: Exactly. Then came the moment of truth. There was a man, he asked me to sleep with him. I said no. But I knew something greater than my will power was necessary for me to resist him, so I called my sister.
Rose: Did she talk you through it?
Blanche: Oh, better than that. She drove straight over, took him by the throat, she said if he ever tried that again, she'd shoot him through the head.
Dorothy: Just because he made a pass at you?
Blanche: Oh, did I forget to mention that the man was my sister's husband?

Quote from Rose
Rose: Well, is everybody ready for a spirited game of Googenspritzer?
Blanche: Googenspritzer? You said we were gonna play Monopoly.
Rose: I said it was like Monopoly, only instead of Atlantic City, they use St. Olaf geography.
Blanche: Well, I'll be the bank.
Rose: Oh, good. There's the cashbox.
Blanche: Well, honey, this is empty.
Rose: Oh, I know. The St. Olaf Bank was one of the first savings and loans to go under.
Dorothy: Bad management?
Rose: Bad contractor. They built the bank on marshland, and it sank. All that was left were a few deposit slips and a pen with a chain attached to it, floating in the muck.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Mmm that's a mighty... That's a mighty lousy pizza!
Dorothy: Ma, you never tasted it before?
Sophia: No, and I never will again.
Sy: What the hell are you doing?
Sophia: Sorry, Sy. You can't pay me enough to endorse that slime on a shingle.
Dorothy: Ma, this is a nationwide commercial. There is a lot of money involved here.
Sophia: Sorry, Dorothy. There are two things a Sicilian won't do: lie about pizza and file a tax return.
Quote from Sophia
Blanche: Well, Rose, I might not have any idea what it's like to feel the kind of dependency you do, but there was a time in my life when I tried quittin' something.
Dorothy: Blanche, you don't mean?
Blanche: Sex, Dorothy. I tried quittin' sex.
Dorothy: Obviously you fell off the wagon.
Sophia: And onto a naval base.
