Blanche Quote #934

Quote from Blanche in Cheaters

Mr. Kane: Excuse me. Sister.
Nun: Yes.
Mr. Kane: These ladies and I found a wallet with money in it. But until the rightful owner shows up to claim it, we were wondering where we could put it so it'd be safe.
Nun: In a bank?
Sophia: But whose bank?
Nun: Well, couldn't you open up a joint account in all your names?
Mr. Kane: Um, I don't know. See, I really don't know these people.
Nun: Well, maybe you could both put up equal amounts of your own money to show mutual good faith and open up an account. And if the money isn't claimed, then you could withdraw it and split it. And if it is, at least you've made some interest.
Blanche: Oh, that sounds too complicated.
Mr. Kane: I think it would work. I'd certainly be willing to put up $2,000 of my money if you two would put up $1,000 each. Thank you so much for your help, sister.
Nun: Go with God.

Quote from Rose

Rose: The reason these confidence men don't get caught is because people are embarrassed to come forward and admit they were conned.
Blanche: I'm sorry, Rose. I just can't.
Rose: Well, perhaps this little story might make you change your mind. Back in St. Olaf there was a shepherd boy who tended his flock on the hill above the town. A wolf kept coming down and stealing his sheep, but the boy never caught him doing it. Because he never saw it happening, he became known around St. Olaf as the boy who didn't cry wolf. Anyway, one day the townspeople heard the boy on the hill yelling, "Wolf, Wolf. " Well, they all figured, if the boy never cried wolf when the wolf was there, if he yelled wolf now, it stood to reason the wolf wasn't there.
Sophia: Boy, nothing gets by you people.
Rose: Damn straight. It was a bear. A huge, ferocious, grizzly bear.
Blanche: What happened to the boy?
Rose: He became known as the boy who cried continuously.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, what do you think I should do?
Sophia: No one can help you with that decision, Dorothy. I can't tell you what to do. I mean, I won't be around forever. I'd like to know there was someone here to love you and take care of you like you take care of me. Maybe he could give you a bigger allowance. I mean, it's nice now and then to buy something that's not generic. You know what I'm saying, Dorothy?
Dorothy: Yes, Ma. And it's nice, you saying you love me and you care.
Sophia: No. I'm saying buy genuine Q-Tips. If I'm gonna put a stick in my ear, I'd like a little cotton at the end.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Look, I'm not proud of what I did, but it didn't seem so bad at the time. He was trapped in a bad marriage.
Sophia: There's no such thing as being trapped in a marriage. In this country you can get divorced. In Sicily there was no divorce. If you wanted to end a marriage, you had to resort to the lupara.
Rose: Is that some kind of legal loophole?
Sophia: It's some kind of sawed-off shotgun.
