Blanche Quote #781

Quote from Blanche in Accurate Conception

Dorothy: Blanche, the point is, she let me make my own choices. Now, this argument that you're having with Rebecca is not about artificial insemination.
Blanche: Like hell it isn't.
Dorothy: Well, part of it is, but the bigger part, Blanche, is about control. You refuse to see your daughter as an adult with the right to make her own decisions. Honey, you're gonna have to learn to let go.
Rose: Yes, and the more you try to make her see things the way you see things, the more she'll resist, and then you run the risk of never seeing her again. And never seeing your grandchild. Never. Think about it, Blanche.
Blanche: Oh, damn, I don't want that to happen.
Dorothy: Then I suggest you apologize.
Blanche: I know Rebecca is a grown woman, but to me she's still just a little girl. How do you say "I'm sorry" to your own child? Especially after all those years of sending them to their room until they were ready to apologize to you. Now all of a sudden everything's just all topsy-turvy. I don't know if I can do it.
Becky: Maybe it'd help if I sent you to your room.

Quote from Rose

Rose: I can relate to the festivities part, Sophia. All our children were conceived on special St. Olaf holidays. Adam was conceived on the Day of the Princess Pig when they had the pig crowning, and Jeanella was conceived on Hay Day. That's the day we St. Olafians celebrate hay.
Dorothy: Rose, do you think you could wrap this up before Rebecca goes into labor?
Rose: Then there was the Day of the Wheat when everybody came to town dressed as sandwiches. Charlie and I forgot to put cheese between us and before I knew it, there was Kirsten.

Quote from Sophia

Blanche: Oh, Becky. Honey, I think you are headed for trouble, going off by yourself like this. No man is gonna want to marry you with a baby.
Dorothy: Blanche, there are a lot of people who are single parents and they're doing just fine.
Sophia: Yeah, look at me.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ah, there you are. Ma, I scheduled the appointment for your checkup. Ma, you know you have to have a physical. What do you want me to do? Take you to court? Have you declared incompetent?
Sophia: I'm not incompetent. Once when I laughed too hard, I had a little accident.
