Blanche Quote #1045

Quote from Blanche in Stand by Your Man

Blanche: Why don't we go someplace romantic for a few days?
Ted: I have to go back home tomorrow.
Blanche: Oh. Well, take me with you. Show me the wonders of Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell. The cream cheese.
Ted: I can't take you.
Blanche: Why not?
Ted: I just can't.
Blanche: Is there someone else? Oh. There's somebody else. Oh, a girlfriend. You got a wife?
Ted: I'm sorry.
Blanche: Sorry? I do not believe this. You know, I kept telling myself to stay open to this, that you were just such a special guy who happened to be sitting down. I was actually starting to feel love for you, Ted. I thought you were noble. Never dawned on me you could be a jerk in a wheelchair. Ah. Get out!

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: I just love libraries.
Dorothy: You do?
Blanche: Oh, I've loved books since I was a child. Although I certainly did grow up around some ignorant people. Do you know what horrible thing the folks in my neck of the woods did once when I was a youngun?
Dorothy: You mean besides using phrases like "neck of the woods" and "youngun"?
Blanche: They burned books. The townspeople made a big pile of 'em in front of the library and they threw a torch on top. Only Big Daddy was outraged. He fought his way through that crowd, clawed his way to the top of that pile, grabbed that lit torch and turned to that crowd and said, "What are you people doing? This is lunacy. Ya start a fire from the bottom."

Quote from Blanche

Ted: I don't believe we have to stop seeing each other.
Blanche: Blanche Devereaux never goes out with another woman's husband. Oh, except for that one time. Now, that was not my fault. She was pronounced dead. Those paramedics never give up.
