Blanche Quote #726

Quote from Blanche in High Anxiety

Blanche: You know, Dorothy, I'm a little nervous. Rose was on those pills for 30 years. If one month in the hospital has helped her kick the habit, she may not be the same Rose we know. She may be an entirely different person. I know because it happened to me once. Before my mama sent me off to beauty camp, I was a pencil-thin, flat-chested, four-eyed nerd.
Sophia: I don't believe it. You pencil-thin?

Quote from Rose

Rose: Well, is everybody ready for a spirited game of Googenspritzer?
Blanche: Googenspritzer? You said we were gonna play Monopoly.

Blanche: Well, I'll be the bank.

Rose: Oh, I know. The St. Olaf Bank was one of the first savings and loans to go under.
Dorothy: Bad management?
Rose: Bad contractor. They built the bank on marshland, and it sank. All that was left were a few deposit slips and a pen with a chain attached to it, floating in the muck.

Dorothy: Obviously you fell off the wagon.
