Rose Quote #402

Quote from Rose in Letter to Gorbachev

Rose: I've always believed you can fix a problem, no matter how big it is, if you just put your mind to it.
Blanche: How are you gonna fix nuclear war thing, by writing a letter to President Reagan?
Rose: Well, now that would be pretty stupid, wouldn't it, Blanche? I mean, Reagan's only responsible for half the problem. I'll have to write to Gorbachev, too.
Dorothy: Rose, honey, you can't be serious.
Rose: Dorothy, I'm taking my troop on a camp out in two weeks. I don't want this nuclear nonsense spoiling our fun. A well written, thoughtful, intelligent letter to Reagan and Gorbachev might just do the trick. Anybody know how many Z's there are in "czar"? I'll look it up.

Rose: It's our town's biggest honor, right after-
Dorothy & Blanche: Large Curd Cottage Cheese Queen.

Sophia: Blanche, what you're talented at isn't generally done on a stage. This isn't downtown Saigon.
