Dorothy Quote #1142

Quote from Dorothy in Hey, Look Me Over

Blanche: Rose, Dorothy needs a hearing aid, but she won't get one because she's afraid she'll feel old.
Dorothy: I don't get it. When did I become my parents' age? Gosh, you know, I remember being 20 years old and--and worrying that if I didn't spend the holidays at home, I might never see them again. Everything changes so suddenly. You know what's young to me now? Forty. Suddenly, 40 is young.
Blanche: Oh, aren't you sweet.
Dorothy: [sighs] Every day it's something else. The hair gets gray. The eyes get weak.
Rose: And you shrink. It's scary. I mean, you measure your height against your arm span, and when they stop being equal, you're actually getting smaller.

Dorothy: I thought you two went last night.

Quote from Dorothy

Blanche: Hey! Anyway, Dorothy, these new hearing aids just fit right in the ear canal. Nobody can even see 'em, so what does it matter?
Dorothy: It matters because it's a step I don't want to take. Look, I don't mind being divorced or having to struggle to pay my bills or having to eat my weight in supplements every morning, but I will not do this. I will not become an old person. [holding her shoulder] Ooh, rain's coming.
