Quote from Sophia in End of the Curse

Sophia: This is all because of the change?
Blanche: God, I hate that expression.
Dorothy: What is the big deal, Blanche? It's nothing. Look at this way. You don't get cramps once a month. You don't go on eating binges once a month. You don't get crazy once a month.
Sophia: You just grow a beard.
Dorothy: Don't listen to her, Blanche.
Sophia: You grow a beard, Dorothy. Believe me. I woke up one morning, I looked like Arafat.
Rose: I never grew a beard.
Sophia: You never grew brains, either.

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."
