Quote from Blanche in Wham, Bam, Thank You, Mammy!

Blanche: Big Daddy's only been gone for a year. Here I am, already selling off his things.
Dorothy: Oh, honey, it has to be done.
Blanche: I know it. I just didn't realize how seeing these things would bring back so many memories. Like Big Daddy's Bible. Never went anywhere without this. [opens book] Whiskey. That explains why every Sunday after services, he'd stand up and yell, "I can lick any man in this church."

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: I don't know what to think. This changes everything I ever thought about Big Daddy. I always assumed that he and Mama had a wonderful sex life. I walked in on 'em once when I was a little girl. There was all this huffin' and puffin' and high-pitched sounds. Then suddenly Big Daddy shouted "Glory!" and they both lit up cigarettes. I vowed then and there I would never do anything so repulsive.
Rose: So what happened?
Blanche: Oh, Bobby Joe Porter explained to me that the cigarette part was optional.

Quote from Rose

Rose: You know, I had a nanny when I was a child. She was my best friend. I could tell her anything, and I'd know she'd keep it a secret. Oh, we used to spend the days running and playing in the meadow. Or playing hide-and-seek in the barn. My nanny treated me just like I was her own kid. Excuse me. [exits]
Dorothy: Is there anyone here who doesn't think she was talking about a goat?

Quote from Dorothy

Dorothy: We're not talking. I'm still furious with Ma for hooking me up with that matchmaker.
Rose: That reminds me of a story about St. Olaf's most famous matchmaker.
Dorothy: Oh, please, Rose, spare me the endless inane details of how Heidi Flugendugelgurgenplotz successfully matched a bull with a duck. And how their daughter was a bull duck who ran a small tattoo parlor in Carmel.
