Dorothy Quote #924

Quote from Dorothy in Cheaters

Glen: So what do you say? Will you marry me? I wanna get my life together. I'm really no good being single. Just look around.
Dorothy: I am looking and listening, and I can't help but remember that I've been in the room before when your wife called and you said you were alone. Then you were cheating on her.
Glen: With you.
Dorothy: Yes. But I've also been Bernice and have my husband call me and he was always alone too. Now, I was married to Stanley for 38 years and for approximately 39 of those years he cheated on me.
Glen: I told a little lie because it's gonna take her some time to get used to the idea of you and me.
Dorothy: Yeah, well, I'm going to need a little time to get used to it too. Look, I'm- I'm not saying you're a cheater. I'm not saying that you're like Stan. I don't know. Maybe there's something wrong with me. That I'm not trusting enough but I'm gonna need some time.
Glen: So what are you telling me? It's gonna be months or years? Or maybe never? Dorothy, if we were both 25, I could wait but I need someone in my life now.
Dorothy: Are you sure that you wanna marry me or are you just afraid to be alone?
Glen: Who wants to be alone?
Dorothy: Nobody. I don't. But if you're marrying me because I happen to be on the top of the list, then maybe I shouldn't be on the list.
Glen: So I guess this is it, huh?
Dorothy: I guess so.
Glen: I still love you, Dorothy.
Dorothy: I love you too.
Glen: If you change your mind-
Dorothy: If you change yours. [exits, returns] There's no reason why my mother shouldn't have the cookies.

Quote from Rose

Rose: The reason these confidence men don't get caught is because people are embarrassed to come forward and admit they were conned.
Blanche: I'm sorry, Rose. I just can't.
Rose: Well, perhaps this little story might make you change your mind. Back in St. Olaf there was a shepherd boy who tended his flock on the hill above the town. A wolf kept coming down and stealing his sheep, but the boy never caught him doing it. Because he never saw it happening, he became known around St. Olaf as the boy who didn't cry wolf. Anyway, one day the townspeople heard the boy on the hill yelling, "Wolf, Wolf. " Well, they all figured, if the boy never cried wolf when the wolf was there, if he yelled wolf now, it stood to reason the wolf wasn't there.
Sophia: Boy, nothing gets by you people.
Rose: Damn straight. It was a bear. A huge, ferocious, grizzly bear.
Blanche: What happened to the boy?
Rose: He became known as the boy who cried continuously.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, what do you think I should do?
Sophia: No one can help you with that decision, Dorothy. I can't tell you what to do. I mean, I won't be around forever. I'd like to know there was someone here to love you and take care of you like you take care of me. Maybe he could give you a bigger allowance. I mean, it's nice now and then to buy something that's not generic. You know what I'm saying, Dorothy?
Dorothy: Yes, Ma. And it's nice, you saying you love me and you care.
Sophia: No. I'm saying buy genuine Q-Tips. If I'm gonna put a stick in my ear, I'd like a little cotton at the end.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Look, I'm not proud of what I did, but it didn't seem so bad at the time. He was trapped in a bad marriage.
Sophia: There's no such thing as being trapped in a marriage. In this country you can get divorced. In Sicily there was no divorce. If you wanted to end a marriage, you had to resort to the lupara.
Rose: Is that some kind of legal loophole?
Sophia: It's some kind of sawed-off shotgun.
