Blanche Quote #664

Quote from Blanche in The Auction

Blanche: Oh, girls, listen to me, when a famous artist like Jasper DeKimmel dies, the value of his work doubles, sometimes even triples. You know what that means?
Rose: Sure. It means if he dies, those crummy pictures of his will be worth a fortune. He'll have more money than he'll know what to do with.
Dorothy: You almost got it, Rose.
Blanche: They're gonna auction off some of Jasper DeKimmel's art this week. With a piece of inside information like this, we could make a real killing buying an original DeKimmel. Then we could sell the painting and pay for the roof and still have money to spare.

Blanche: I thought these stories of yours always took place in Sicily.
Sophia: Can't a person go away for the weekend? Anyway, I'm on a tour of the great caper factories of Sardinia. I was a kooky kid going through my piccata period. A wedge of lemon and a smart answer for everything. Anyway, I was I was slicing an onion when suddenly this big basil tree--
Dorothy: Ma, what the hell are you talking about? You're not making any sense.
Sophia: I was hoping the late hour would help to mask that. I don't have a story about taking advantage of a dead guy for money. I got a great story about a Moroccan and a monkey, but that really comes under the heading of lust.

Quote from Rose

Blanche: Girls, look, a mime.
Rose: Oh, I just love a mime. It's all on account of my Uncle Gustav. He was a coal mimer.
Blanche: You mean a coal miner.
Rose: No, a coal mimer. You see, he had a bad back and he didn't want to lose his medical benefits, so every morning he'd go down the shaft and pretend to work.
