Blanche Quote #838

Quote from Blanche in All That Jazz

Dorothy: Oh, Ma, I'm a little concerned. He just doesn't take commitment seriously. Ma, he quits jobs, he leaves relationships. It's like they don't matter. He is 30 years old. When's he gonna grow up?
Blanche: Why should he, when you make it so easy for him not to?
Dorothy: Are you saying it's my fault?
Blanche: Well, all I'm saying is, Dorothy, you have to do something, or you're gonna end up with a 60-year-old kid who can't hold a job or have a meaningful relationship, who keeps running to you all the time for emotional support. Can you imagine a man like that? [doorbell]
Dorothy: No, I can't. [opens door] Yes, I can.
Stan: Hi. It's me, Stan.

Quote from Rose

Rose: The hardest part for me was explaining to my Kirsten the difference between boys and girls. I knew the time had come, but I kept putting it off. Finally, I decided it was time to take the bull by the horns.
Blanche: So you told her?
Rose: No, I took the bull by the horns, turned him around and showed her what makes a bull a bull.
Dorothy: You are kidding, Rose?
Rose: No! That's how my mother taught me.
Blanche: Honey, didn't that give you a false impression about what a man would look like?
Rose: It sure did. Can you imagine my surprise on my wedding night with Charlie? [laughing] Boy, that bull would have been jealous.

Quote from Blanche

Dorothy: For the past week all he's been doing is hanging out at the beach and having a good time. Maybe this job at the Hacienda Hut will get him on the right track again.
Blanche: Dorothy, you don't want Michael working in a place like the Hacienda Hut. It is full of people just looking for easy sex and cheap thrills. But if it'll help, I could write a letter of recommendation.

Quote from Rose

Rose: Dorothy, I know you've done the right thing. In the animal kingdom, the whole idea is to teach offspring to fend for themselves. Humans are the only ones who think it's their duty to care for children their entire lives.
Dorothy: You know, Rose, sometimes you really say some wise things.
Rose: We're also the only species who use corn holders that look like corn on the cob when we eat corn on the cob.
Dorothy: Oops! Spoke too soon.
