Blanche Quote #1184

Quote from Blanche in That's for Me to Know

Dorothy: Hey, wait a minute. The city says you can't have three renters, but what if- What if we're all co-owners?
Blanche: Co-owners?
Dorothy: Yeah. You sell us each a share of the house and we pay you every month, like we always have, but instead of paying rent, we'll be paying the mortgage.
Blanche: I tell you what. Why don't we just forget all about the mortgage, and I'll just give you all the house as a present? Yeah! Then I'll just buy all your clothes, pay for all your food, set up trust funds for all your grandchildren.
Sophia: Throw in a piano player, you got yourself a deal.
Blanche: Like hell! This is my home we're talking about here. And it's more than a home. It's memories. Dorothy, this is where I lived with my husband. It's- It's my past, and it's my future. As I move on towards middle age, it's all I have.

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Rose, if I use this permit, any kind of scum could walk through the door. Thieves, murderers, men who haven't seen a woman for 10 years, who've been doin' nothin' but liftin' weights and countin' the days. Dorothy, remind me again why this was a bad idea.

Quote from Rose

Rose: You know, people in St. Olaf are lucky. We all had the same family tree. You can trace each of us back to the same brother and sister.
Dorothy: Well, I think that completes the puzzle.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Nice try, Ma. Let's talk about 1920.
Sophia: Bad year. Now, 1918...
Dorothy: I said 1920.
Sophia: Okay, 1920 it is. The year I sailed for America. Ah, America. The land of opportunity, where the streets were paved with gold, and a young man named Irving Berlin was writing songs like this. Hit it. Dorothy, where's our piano player?
