Rose Quote #77

Quote from Rose in That Was No Lady

Rose: I'll get it. [answering phone] Hello? [to Blanche] It's for Dorothy. I think it's Glen.
Blanche: That's the fourth time he's called today. Well, you know what we're supposed to tell him. Go on.
Rose: Hello? Dorothy's not home and she's never coming home again. Now, don't call here anymore. This is Rose, who's this? Mr. Yamamoto from the school district?
Blanche: Rose.
Rose: I'm so sorry. I thought you were the man Dorothy's having the affair with. I mean, the man Dorothy said is always so fair with... her. Of course, I would expect you to be fair. And polite. And good at math. I'm so glad you got your own Disneyland. Oh, ah, thank you. Goodbye.

Quote from Rose

Rose: It was the first time I saw my Charlie. I was seven and he was eight. It was a hot Minnesota summer and he had put up one of those little stands on the sidewalk.
Blanche: Selling lemonade.
Rose: Insurance. And I bought a nickel policy on my red wagon. And right after that, my wagon was destroyed.
Blanche: How?
Rose: Some hogs trampled it. I was hauling home a smoked ham for Mama and I think it set them off. Anyway, that's when I fell in love with Charlie. He paid for a new wagon, even though my policy didn't cover acts of swine.
Dorothy: ... "Acts of swine."

Quote from Sophia
