Rose Quote #623

Quote from Rose in Love Me Tender

Dorothy: Oh, God, that's Eddie. I don't know if I can go through with this.
Rose: Oh, now, Dorothy, don't worry. We're both right beside you to help you through it.
Dorothy: It's not that easy. Eddie has some kind of a strange hold over me.
Blanche: Oh, baloney. Eddie is just a man, cut from the same cloth as the many men who have dumped you over the years. Just think of him as all those men, Dorothy. Become the dumper before you become the dumpee.
Dorothy: You're right. I'm gonna get rid of him just the way Paul Bennington got rid of me. The way Steve Mendlebaum got rid of me. The way Tom...
Rose: We'll be here all afternoon. Can you just open the door?

Blanche: You mean to tell me that somebody actually juggled herring.

Quote from Blanche

Rose: Oh, the "Be a Pal" program? Well, each week, you get a motherless girl and be her pal. Help her with her homework and take her to movies and have dinner together.
Dorothy: That's very interesting. Maybe I could get involved with that. How about you, Blanche?
Blanche: Sure. Why, nothing would be more satisfying than to be of loving service to a lonely, motherless child.
Of course, I'll have to see pictures of the father before I commit.

Quote from Rose

Eddie: I'm sorry. I'm still not really recovered. You see, after 25 years of marriage, my wife Roberta sent me a Dear John letter.
Rose: That's terrible. Married 25 years and she doesn't know your name is Eddie?
