Blanche Quote #1040

Quote from Blanche in Stand by Your Man

Blanche: Rose, the answer is no.
Rose: That's not fair. Last week, you got to keep the boxboy who followed you home.
Blanche: There, you see? You don't need a dog. If you're lonely, get yourself a man.
Rose: I don't want a man. I just wanna come home from work and have someone jump up on my lap, lick my face and fetch a ball when I throw it.
Blanche: You can get a man to do that.

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: I just love libraries.
Dorothy: You do?
Blanche: Oh, I've loved books since I was a child. Although I certainly did grow up around some ignorant people. Do you know what horrible thing the folks in my neck of the woods did once when I was a youngun?
Dorothy: You mean besides using phrases like "neck of the woods" and "youngun"?
Blanche: They burned books. The townspeople made a big pile of 'em in front of the library and they threw a torch on top. Only Big Daddy was outraged. He fought his way through that crowd, clawed his way to the top of that pile, grabbed that lit torch and turned to that crowd and said, "What are you people doing? This is lunacy. Ya start a fire from the bottom."

Quote from Blanche

Ted: I don't believe we have to stop seeing each other.
Blanche: Blanche Devereaux never goes out with another woman's husband. Oh, except for that one time. Now, that was not my fault. She was pronounced dead. Those paramedics never give up.
