Blanche Quote #1098

Quote from Blanche in Melodrama

Blanche: This'll be far enough. Thanks very much for making this evening a total disaster.
Mel: Sweetheart, give yourself some credit. It wouldn't have been a total disaster without you.
Blanche: Oh really, Mr. "No Guy With an Earring Parks My Car"? My God. You'd think an elegant restaurant like that would bring out the best in a man.
Mel: What it brought out was $250 from my wallet.
Blanche: It was a special occasion.
Mel: Where I come from, $250 is 5 special occasions and a bottle of Scotch. You'd think for all that money, they'd hang a picture on the wall.
Blanche: The minimalist decor is designed to enhance conversation.
Mel: Nothing to look at, what's to talk about?
Blanche: I would think I would be enough.
Mel: Talk about you? We didn't have to go out on a date to do that.
Blanche: You think I'm borin'?
Mel: No, sweetheart, I think you're fantastic. With a guy like me, a little fantastic goes a long way. I mean, look what we got now. Every couple of weeks you call me when one of your boyfriends don't show up. I tell ya, "Bushman awaits." We rent a movie, we order some takeout, we talk about you. That's entertainment. I love that.
Blanche: And we cuddle.
Mel: Sometimes we do more than cuddle. Sometimes you stay. That's the part I like the best. When you stay. Every couple of weeks, you bring a little class to Bushman's place.
