Blanche Quote #132

Quote from Blanche in The Operation

Rose: Dorothy, nobody likes being in the hospital, but it's natural to be afraid.
Blanche: She's right, darling. Everybody has fears. Now all of my life, I had an incredible fear of flying. And I missed out on a lot of things because of that fear! Then, one day-
Dorothy: No, don't tell me, don't tell me. You met a handsome pilot, he invited you into the cockpit. Of course you said yes, as you usually do in these stories. The two of you made passionate love and now you cannot get enough of the friendly skies.
Blanche: No, that's not what happened at all.
Rose: Well, then how did you get over your fear?
Blanche: I never did, but thanks to Dorothy, I now have new hope.

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.
