Quote from Blanche in End of the Curse

Dr. Barensfield: But why is your life over?
Blanche: Because it is. Because it means I'm old. It means I'm not a real woman anymore.
Dr. Barensfield: All it really means is that you're no longer able to bear children.
Blanche: Oh, it means much more than that. I just don't know how it happened. You know, only yesterday, I was Magnolia Queen. I remember my Aunt Lynette going crazy about that time, my mother saying in a hushed voice, "Oh, she's going through the change." I thought, "Poor Aunt Lynette having to go through this change thing." I had no idea what it was, but I knew one thing for certain, it was never going to happen to me. Now here I am. I'm Aunt Lynette.

Sophia: I got it, nobody told me. I didn't get it, nobody told me. I figured, "This is life," and went back to my meatballs.

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Well, my whole childhood, I kept hearing about the curse. How when I was 13, I was going to get the curse. I was absolutely terrified. The year of my 13th birthday, I slept with the lights on all year. Oh, I was sure there was a witch behind every wisteria. I didn't go out on Halloween. I was a wreck. But the year went by and no curse. Then the next year went by, no curse. Then finally, when I was 15, Mama took me to the doctor because I still didn't have the curse. And he said, "Blanche, do you mean to tell me you still don't have your period?" I said, "Well, of course I have my period, you fool. I'm not a child. I've had my period for almost two years. It's the curse I don't have."
