Rose Quote #408
Quote from Rose in Letter to Gorbachev
Blanche: "Dear Mr. Gorbachev. My name is Rose Nylund. I'm writing to you because I'm really worried about nuclear war. I hear there are enough bombs to blow up the world 100 times and it scares me. It scares the girls in my cadet troop, too. They talk about what they want to be if they grow up, not when they grow up. That's why I'm asking you to please unplug your bombs. I'll bet my bottom dollar, or in your case, your bottom ruble, that if you called President Reagan, he'd do the same thing. It's just someone has to be first. Thank you. Your friend, Rose Nylund. P.S. [laughs] Don't call the president in the afternoon. I hear that's when he takes naps."
Dorothy: Honey, that was really beautiful. It's a shame that more people don't think like nine-year-olds.

Dorothy: Oh, honey, it's not so uncommon. I mean, kids hear about nuclear war on TV. They read it in the papers. It's part of their lives. They can't help but think about it.
Rose: Oh, it's so sad. When I was eight years old I was just worried about the usual childhood things. How much would the tooth fairy leave me? What would I get from Santa? Would I ever be chosen Small Curd Cottage Cheese Queen.
Blanche: I'm only doing this because I have some more coffee left to drink. Small Curd Cottage Cheese Queen?
Rose: It's our town's biggest honor, right after-
Dorothy & Blanche: Large Curd Cottage Cheese Queen.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Anyway, I've got bigger problems. I don't have an act for the talent show.
Blanche: Talent show? Can I be in it?
Sophia: Blanche, what you're talented at isn't generally done on a stage. This isn't downtown Saigon.
