Rose Quote #816

Quote from Rose in 72 Hours

Blanche: Rose, I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better.
Rose: Say I'm OK.
Blanche: You know, we always tend to think the worst so that when the news does finally come, it's never as bad as we thought it was gonna be.
Rose: Well?
Doctor: Well the good news is you appear to be in fine physical shape. Do you have any more questions?
Rose: Of course. Do I have it?
Doctor: We'll have the results when you come back in three days.
Rose: Three days? What are you talking about? I expect when I go to a hospital for an AIDS test to find out.
Doctor: I'm sorry. I wish it was faster, but it takes us that long to be sure. I thought you knew.
Rose: Well, I didn't know. First you guys give me that transfusion, and now you tell me this.
Blanche: Honey, I guess there's really not much you can do.
Rose: Well, sure there is. There's plenty I can do. Like, sit around the house for the next 72 hours, scared to death he's gonna tell me I have something that's gonna kill me. How am I gonna do that, Blanche? How am I gonna get through the next three days?

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Hey! Wait a minute. Are you saying this should be me and not you?
Rose: No. No, I'm just saying that I am a good person. Hell, I'm a goody two shoes.
Blanche: AIDS is not a bad person's disease, Rose. It is not God punishing people for their sins.
Rose: You're right, Blanche.

Quote from Dorothy

Dorothy: What an idiot! Of all the lamebrained, moronic dopes. I mean, if ever I wanted to reach right through the phone and strangle somebody.
Sophia: Not really a morning person, are you, pussycat?
Dorothy: It's this caterer that I hired for my Save the Wetlands banquet. He's a week late with the menu, now he tells me that he's going to serve wild duck and crayfish. They come from the wetlands. It's like holding a Save the Whales function on a Japanese trawler.

Quote from Rose

Rose: I haven't been this scared since 1952, when St. Olaf's most active volcano threatened to erupt. Luckily, there were some Druid priests who were in town for the opening of Stonehengeland. They said they could stop it if they could sacrifice the town's dumbest virgin. I don't know why I raised my hand. It must have just been the excitement of the moment. But they said the only way to prevent the eruption was for me to crawl through their legs, up the volcano, while they gave me my birthday whacks. Well - and you're not gonna believe this - it turns out they weren't Druid priests at all. Just a bunch of Shriners looking for a good time.
