Dorothy Quote #1268

Quote from Dorothy in The Commitments

Dorothy: Look, Blanche, are you gonna do this or not? Because my date is on his way over, and I just won a ticket on the radio to a dinner theater Beatlemania. Shut up, Ma.
Rose: Beatlemania? You're giving up a date for Beatlemania?
Dorothy: Oh, Rose, the Beatles were the first and only rock-and-roll group that I ever really loved. When they came to Shea Stadium, I managed to get a ticket, but one of my kids came down with the flu. It was one of those times when you have to pretend that you love your kids more than something you really wanna do.
