Quote from Dorothy in All Bets Are Off

Dorothy: Actually, Rose, I need cash. Quick. And I'm up to my limit at the automated teller.
Rose: Is this about the phone call you just received?
Dorothy: The phone- Yes, yes. It was the paperboy. I forgot to pay him last week.
Rose: How much do you need?
Dorothy: $250.
Rose: Isn't that kind of a lot for the paperboy?
Dorothy: Rose, the truth is- The truth is, I need the money so my mother can have an operation.
Rose: Sophia needs an operation?
Dorothy: Well, not an actual operation. She's just going to have her face done.
Rose: How's she gonna get it done?
Dorothy: Southwestern, Rose. Look, Rose, I need the money. You're just going to have to trust me.
Rose: Well, of course I trust you. You're my best friend. You can take everything I have.
Dorothy: Well, don't give me everything you have. I mean, all I need is a couple hundred bucks, you know, so that I can-
Rose: Oh, you don't owe me any explanation. Here. I want you to take my bank card, and take as much money as you need, and pay me back whenever you can.
Dorothy: Oh, thanks a lot. And don't you worry, I'll have this money back before you know it.
Rose: Oh, no hurry. I trust you completely.
Dorothy: Yeah, well Rose, I mean, you shouldn't trust anyone completely.
Rose: Dorothy, if I can't trust you, whom can I trust? You're practically a sister to me.
Dorothy: Yeah, well, sisters often lie, Rose. And even best friends take advantage of each other occasionally.
Rose: I don't think so.
Dorothy: Rose, you should. You're being very naive.
Rose: I'm not naive.
Dorothy: Yes, you are. You are being naive now. Don't you see? I'm stealing your money.
Rose: I know, Dorothy. But I was hoping you'd have a hard time taking advantage of somebody who cares about you as much as I do.
Dorothy: I need help, Rose. Oh, God, I hate the lying!

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: I, uh, I would lend you my pass to the jockeys' lounge, but you don't want to date a jockey. The sex is over too fast, and afterwards the only nice thing they have to say to you is, "Good girl, good girl."

Quote from Rose

Rose: I have to get a horse in this picture while it's still fresh in my mind. I don't know whether to paint Old Silver, the horse who brought the news to St. Olaf that the British had no intention of coming or Old Brisker, the horse who, because of a printing error on the ballot slips, was elected water commissioner for six months.

Quote from Rose

Blanche: Well, Dorothy, I'm worried about you.
Dorothy: Oh, please, don't you start. I had a problem 15 years ago. That's a long time. I've learned a little something since then. A lot has happened. And I've lived with the temptations. [exits]
Blanche: Well, isn't that something? You think you know somebody, then you find out something like this. Hard to believe.
Rose: I'll say. To think Dorothy's lived with The Temptations. I've never even been to one of their concerts.
