Rose Quote #404

Quote from Rose in Letter to Gorbachev

Blanche: Rose, the most unbelievable thing has happened. Remember that letter you wrote to Gorbachev? He's answered it. He wants to see you!
Rose: What did Reagan say?
Blanche: Well, nothing. He didn't send a letter.
Rose: Well, that is unbelievable. I wrote him two days earlier. I did the dumbest thing. I walked out of this house and completely forgot it's a full moon. Under those conditions a Sunshine Cadet Master must wear full headdress. Here I come, girls! [yelping, exits]
Dorothy: Kemosabe, I think the world is in heap big trouble.
