Blanche Quote #1292

Quote from Blanche in Journey to the Center of Attention

Blanche: All right, the truth is, I'm jealous of you. Oh, God, that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Dorothy: Blanche, what are you talking about?
Blanche: Dorothy, the one thing in my life I've always been assured of is being the center of attention. Oh, I knew I never had to worry about competing with any other woman 'cause I'd always win. But when I saw you sing the other night, I realized why all those men were practically fallin' all over themselves to get to you. Because, Dorothy, when you sing, you light up the room. You do. You positively glow. You're just- You're beautiful.
Dorothy: Oh, Blanche, you don't have to say that.
Blanche: Well, believe me, I don't like sayin' it. But it's true. You can attract men in a way I can't and I'm jealous of you.
Dorothy: Blanche Devereaux, that is the nicest thing that you have ever said to me.
Blanche: It is?
Dorothy: Absolutely.
Blanche: Yeah, you're probably right. Most of the time when I compliment you, I'm not being sincere. But I really meant that last one, I swear.
