Blanche: Well, we are going away for a romantic weekend to the Bahamas with Jeff and Rich and Randy. In this day and age it might be a good idea to take along some protection.
Rose: What kind of protection?
Dorothy: Two armed Pinkerton guards. No, Blanche is talking about, uh...
Rose: A Nestle's Crunch?
Dorothy: One over.
Rose: An enema bag?
Dorothy: To the right.
Rose: Dentu-Grip?
Dorothy: Condoms, Rose. Condoms, condoms, condoms!

[flashback:]
Blanche: There's no reason to be embarrassed. These are discreet professionals. This is a private matter. Whatever we buy is nobody's business but our own. [to the clerk] I'd like a package of these, please.
Dorothy: And, uh, I'll take these.
Rose: And I'll take these.
Blanche: Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?
Clerk: [over p.a.] Uh, Joe, I need a price check on some condoms. These three ladies here want a couple of boxes of the King George prophylactics.
Joe: [o.s.] The lambskins or the ultrasensitive?
Clerk: Two of 'em have the lambskins and the blonde has the ultrasensitive, in black.
Joe: The lambskins are $12.95 and the black's a dollar extra.
Dorothy: Look at all these people staring at us. Oh, this is humiliating.
Rose: I've never been so embarrassed in my life.
Blanche: [over p.a.] All right, just what in hell are all of you staring at? Haven't you ever seen three vibrant, healthy, sexually active women before? Now, we are embarking on a little weekend cruise with some longtime gentlemen friends, and if we decide to be intimate, then we'll be prepared. We're not embarrassed, we're not uncomfortable, we are not humiliated. We're gonna walk outta here today with our heads held high, secure in the knowledge that what we have done is morally and socially responsible. Isn't that right, girls?
Dorothy: I have no idea who this woman is. I bought these for my brother.

[flashback:]
Blanche: Oh, come on, now. We may be from different generations but some things never change. Love is love, period.
Young Man: Yeah, I suppose, but every couple is different.
Blanche: You just listen. We were sitting right here. George took my hand in both of his and looked deep into my eyes and and he said, "You know, Blanche, you're a very special lady." And then he said how he just couldn't bear the thought of spending even one day out of the rest of his life without me right there. And then he said: "Blanche, would you be my wife?" And after I stopped crying I said yes.
Young Man: Blanche, you're right. Love is love, period. Some things never change. I'm gonna go through with it.
Blanche: Well, good for you. Here. And thank you for listening.
Young Man: Oh, Victor, come on. Let's get a table. There's something I have to tell you.
Blanche: [to the bartender] Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe some things do change.
