Rose Quote #609

Quote from Rose in The Impotence of Being Ernest

Ernie: Oh, Rose, I'm having a wonderful time. You're a lot of fun to be with.
Rose: Oh, I'm having a good time too. I don't think I've had this much fun since I was a little girl back in St. Olaf. I remember once when I was about ten...
Ernie: You were about to tell a story. Why did you stop?
Rose: Well, this is usually when Dorothy and Blanche interrupt me. Anyway, I'd always go to the movies every Saturday afternoon with all my friends. Oh, we'd have a ball. The only problem was that our town theater was designed for silent movies.
Ernie: They never put in a sound system?
Rose: No. Luckily, our schoolteacher, Miss Sigerson, was an expert lipreader. She'd do all the dialogue. There were some problems sometimes. Through most of Citizen Kane, we all thought everybody was looking for a rowboat.
