Dorothy Quote #143

Quote from Dorothy in The Operation

Blanche: So you intend to limp around in pain when you could be completely cured in just one night? Dorothy, that doesn't make sense!
Dorothy: It makes sense to me. I don't like doctors, I don't like hospitals.
Rose: Nobody likes hospitals, but there's nothing to be scared of.
Dorothy: Oh, really, Rose? What about blood? What about death? What about those nighties that don't close up in the back?
Rose: Well, anybody can make it sound unpleasant.
Blanche: Dorothy, you are being irrational. Now the bottom line is we're talking about your health. That is a very precious thing. The longer you put this surgery off, the more you may be risking your health. I just don't think that's a risk worth taking, do you?
Dorothy: Yes.

Quote from Rose

Rose: Hey, we've all got our sad stories.
Blanche: What?
Rose: Look, Blanche, we've practiced for six weeks. We've paid for our costumes, we told everybody we'd be there! You're not gonna wimp out on me. You're gonna go to that recital. If you end up in a puddle tonight, well, you'd just better break into "Singin' in the Rain"!

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Rose, I have a confession to make. Flying isn't the only thing I'm afraid of. I also have a fear of performing. In front of groups, that is.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: I know what she means, Ma. I just don't need to hear it the night before surgery!
Sophia: Come on, don't be such a baby! I had my appendix out in a hospital in Sicily. That was rough!
Rose: Why?
Sophia: They didn't believe in anesthesia back then. They had a nurse hold a pillow over your face so the other patients couldn't hear your screams. You had to pay extra for that. Sicily, love it or leave it.
