Blanche Quote #995

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

Mammy: Blanche, your father and I were in love. We didn't mean for it to happen, but it did. In another time and place, we would have been married, but at that time in the South, it wasn't an option. And it wasn't only physical, either. You just don't go through what Curtis and I went through just for sex. Although that was reason enough. Blanche, did I shock you?
Blanche: Yes. I've never heard anybody call Big Daddy by his first name before.

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.
