Dorothy Quote #899
Quote from Dorothy in An Illegitimate Concern
Blanche: Oh! You won!
Dorothy: No, actually, we're just the runners-up. But if the reigning winners for any reason can't fulfill their duties-
Sophia: And I'm telling you, the winning mother and daughter are 98 and 77. If either one of them forgets to take a nitroglycerin even once, Dorothy and I are gonna be cutting ribbons at Piggly Wiggly.
Dorothy: But the big news is we beat Gladys Goldfine. Right, Ma?
Sophia: Ah, it was a hollow victory. Time has taken its toll on Gladys. She's not the fierce competitor she once was.
Dorothy: You know, for the talent section she was supposed to do a medley from The Fantasticks. She started with "Try To Remember," and she couldn't.

Quote from Dorothy
Blanche: Why did George cheat on me?
Rose: Why does any man cheat?
Dorothy: Well, there are two popular theories. One, men are victims of an evolutionary process which genetically programs their sexual habits.
Blanche: What's the other theory?
Dorothy: Men are scum.
Quote from Sophia
Sophia: Please, Dorothy. If we win this thing, I can die a happy woman.
Dorothy: Ma, I refuse to be a part of your neurotic need to be number one. Now, just let it go.
Sophia: How many challenges do I have left in life? Seeing if I can get more than halfway across the street before the "Don't Walk" sign comes on. Trying to stay awake on the john. Hoping it is the john. Competition is the thing that keeps me going. But, if you want me to let it go.
Quote from Rose
Dorothy: Oh, now, that is really odd. I mean, if he's selling encyclopedias, why didn't he try to sell us a set?
Rose: And you know what else is so strange about it? He didn't bring them in.
Blanche: Rose. No encyclopedia salesman lugs around 26 volumes door-to-door.
Rose: Are you kidding? In St. Olaf they carry 52.
Blanche: Why?
Rose: Balance.
Dorothy: Rose, why don't they just carry 13 in each hand?
Rose: Excuse me. I have to make a phone call.
