Blanche Quote #1072

Quote from Blanche in Miles to Go

Blanche: It seems that before I returned the dress, I was so busy putting the price tags back on, I neglected to remove the dry cleaning tag. Not only did they refuse to take the dress back, the store manager had the gall to accuse me of being dishonest.
Dorothy: That's terrible, Blanche. If I were you, I'd take my dishonesty elsewhere.
Blanche: They made me pay. $300 for a dress I didn't even want.
Dorothy: Blanche, it's only fair. You tried something crooked, and you got caught. Now you're gonna have to scrimp and cut corners and find some way to pay for it.
Blanche: I already have. The rent increases go into effect tomorrow. All except Sophia.
Dorothy: Why not her?
Blanche: The rent increase was her idea.
Sophia: So I'm the one musketeer. I'll make new friends.

Dorothy: Ah, you're still the reigning champ, Rose. That was David Frost. Robert Frost was a famous American poet.
