Blanche Quote #905
Quote from Blanche in An Illegitimate Concern
Blanche: What is it?
David: Did my father ever go fishing?
Blanche: What?
David: When I was a kid, I always fantasized about the kinds of things my father and I would have done together. Going fishing was always my favorite. Did he?
Blanche: No.
David: Oh. Look, I know my coming here hurt you. But this wasn't any picnic for me, either. I'm angry too. I grew up not knowing anything about my father - who he was, what he was. I wish you could just tell me something about my father. Whether you like it or not, I am his son.
Blanche: He served in Korea.
David: Really?
Blanche: Army captain. Decorated for bravery. But not before he graduated top of his class at Vanderbilt.
David: Hey, that's pretty good.
Blanche: Well, let's see. There's so much to remember. Um... Well, he was charming, and quite an athlete. Intellectual. Oh, he could match wits with anybody in town. Very handsome. The ladies loved him. Apparently so.

Quote from Dorothy
Blanche: Why did George cheat on me?
Rose: Why does any man cheat?
Dorothy: Well, there are two popular theories. One, men are victims of an evolutionary process which genetically programs their sexual habits.
Blanche: What's the other theory?
Dorothy: Men are scum.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Please, Dorothy. If we win this thing, I can die a happy woman.
Dorothy: Ma, I refuse to be a part of your neurotic need to be number one. Now, just let it go.
Sophia: How many challenges do I have left in life? Seeing if I can get more than halfway across the street before the "Don't Walk" sign comes on. Trying to stay awake on the john. Hoping it is the john. Competition is the thing that keeps me going. But, if you want me to let it go.
Quote from Rose
Dorothy: Oh, now, that is really odd. I mean, if he's selling encyclopedias, why didn't he try to sell us a set?
Rose: And you know what else is so strange about it? He didn't bring them in.
Blanche: Rose. No encyclopedia salesman lugs around 26 volumes door-to-door.
Rose: Are you kidding? In St. Olaf they carry 52.
Blanche: Why?
Rose: Balance.
Dorothy: Rose, why don't they just carry 13 in each hand?
Rose: Excuse me. I have to make a phone call.
