Blanche Quote #5

Quote from Blanche in The Engagement

Dorothy: Blanche, do you want to read the note? Do you want me to read it to you? "Dear Blanche, I guess you know by now. I'm really sorry. The thing is, I really liked you. This time was different. You're a special lady. Maybe someday you'll write to me. Harry."
Blanche: Oh, God. I'm stunned. I'm just stunned.
Dorothy: I know.
Blanche: Oh, I feel like such an old fool. Not just a fool, but an old fool. My God, I just wanna die.
Rose: You're not a fool, Blanche. You're a beautiful, loving, trusting woman. There's no fool here, Blanche.
Blanche: I guess maybe I'm hoping the shock will be too much for my heart and I'll just drop dead right here. And the minister can bury me with Mr. Pinkus. I won't have to look anyone in the eye ever again.
Rose: Except maybe Mr. Pinkus.

Quote from Sophia

Rose: I don't drink before bedtime. I stop all liquids at noon and I still wake up.
Sophia: I never have that problem. Never. I sleep like a log. I never get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I go in the morning. Every morning like clockwork, at 7 am I pee. Unfortunately, I don't wake up till 8.

Quote from Dorothy

Dorothy: Tell me, how is Blanche?
Rose: She didn't go to work again today. It's been three weeks and she just sits in her room. The museum's gonna fire her.
Dorothy: Well, we've tried everything: golf, the movies, theater tickets. She wouldn't even budge for Julio Iglesias.
Rose: I know grief. It takes time.
Dorothy: Please, Rose. Listen, if you're Irish, you have a wake. You eat, you cry, you drink, you vomit, and you're done. If you're Jewish, you cry, you sit, you eat for seven days, you put on ten pounds, and it's over. We Italians scream, dress up a donkey, hire a band, and that's that. It's these southern Protestants who make it a way of life.

Quote from Sophia

Blanche: Everybody, this is Harry. Harry, this is Rose.
Harry: Rose.

Harry: Dorothy.
Dorothy: Hi, Harry.
Blanche: And this is Sophia.
Harry: Well, you must be Blanche's sister.
Sophia: You must be blind.
