Rose Quote #939

Quote from Rose in The Bloom Is Off the Rose

Miles: Hi, Dorothy, Sophia.
Dorothy: You kids have fun tonight?
Miles: Oh, did we ever. There's this sewing shop on Fourth Street and in the back they've got this thimble museum I've wanted to go to. You know, you could put in a thimble what most people know about thimbles. [laughing loudly] Well, no, that's not mine. They tell that one down at the thimble museum.
Dorothy: You actually had a good time at a thimble museum?
Miles: It was sew-sew. [laughing] No, again, that was not mine. They sell bumper stickers out of the thimble museum. So, Rose, how 'bout tomorrow night? Hmm? Dinner at the usual? And, you know, uh, we've been putting off that trip to Zippertown.
Rose: Do you think we'll have time after dinner?
Miles: Well, Zippertown is always open. [laughs] I'm sorr- That was mine. Just now, I swear.

Quote from Rose

Rose: Two hours of learning about thimbles from foreign lands. I couldn't wait to give the headset back.
Dorothy: Look, Rose, have you talked to Miles?
Rose: I think this is just who he is. I don't think I was ever bored for one day when I was with Charlie. He had a theory, "Even a trip to the bank can be exciting if you wear a ski mask."
Dorothy: He would say that often?
Rose: Almost as often as he'd say, "Don't shoot. It's me, Charlie Nylund."
