Blanche Quote #559

Quote from Blanche in Dorothy's New Friend

Dorothy: Barbara's taking me to the experimental theater downtown.
Blanche: Somebody dragged me to a show there one time. Three men paraded around the stage for five hours talking about God and eating graham crackers. They wore masks, but other than that, they were totally naked.
Rose: And you stayed through the whole evening?
Blanche: Well, I would've left, but one of the actors looked so familiar to me. But it was hard to tell since he had such a small part.

Quote from Rose

Rose: I remember when I was a little girl back in St. Olaf. There was this old lady who lived up the street. She never smiled. I mean, she always looked angry. The kids said she'd kill anyone who even stepped on her property. We called her Mean Old Lady Higgenlooper.
Blanche: Yeah, kids can be pretty cruel.
Rose: No. That was her name. Mean Old Lady Higgenlooper. She had it changed legally 'cause everybody called her that anyway.
Blanche: Then how come your name isn't Big Dummy?
Rose: Well, there were already three other people in town with that name. But that's beside the point. One day I got up the courage to go up to Mean Old Lady Higgenlooper and ask her why she always frowned. Well, she had been born with no smiling muscles. I pointed out that a frown is just a smile turned upside down. So from then on, whenever I'd go by, she'd stand on her head and wave.

Quote from Sophia

Barbara: Hi, Dorothy, Rose. I certainly hope tonight will help us forget what happened the other night.
Sophia: I already forgot what happened the other night. But then again I'm 82 years old. This morning I forgot my cat's been dead for 20 years. Which makes me wonder: Who's using the kitty litter?

Quote from Rose

Blanche: Rose, what was your first impression of me?
Rose: I thought you wore too much makeup and were a slut. ... I was wrong. You don't wear too much makeup.
