Blanche Quote #881

Quote from Blanche in Triple Play

Blanche: Well, how was lunch?
Miles: Blanche, I don't know how the woman does it. The herring was not only delicious, but it looked happy!
Blanche: Well, Caroline. Did you tell your daddy about your little talk with Rose?
Caroline: Not yet.
Miles: What did I miss?
Blanche: I think he has a right to know.
Caroline: I, uh, told Rose the truth, Daddy. It's too soon for you to have a relationship.
Miles: You what?!
Blanche: Now wait. Could I say something? Caroline, you think your daddy has become involved too soon after your poor mother's demise, but, honey, a year is more than respectable. Why, I've had men call me when their wives were in intensive care. Granted, these men were not pillars of the community.

Quote from Rose

Rose: I am so glad to finally meet you. Lunch is all set up out on the lanai. Your father says you're a classical musician. What do you play?
Caroline: The English horn.
Rose: I didn't know horns had nationalities. But I guess it makes sense. If jumping beans can be Mexican and fire drills can be Chinese and flies can be Spanish.

Quote from Sophia

Rose: You're not having company, are you, Blanche? Because I want everything to go smoothly for Miles and Caroline. It's a big step, meeting a man's family.
Blanche: Don't worry about it, honey. Men will be over, but they'll be in and out all day.
Dorothy: Don't say it, Ma.
Sophia: I have to, Dorothy. At my age, when you don't say it, it can back up on you and come out some other way.

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, I wanna know, where did you get the money?
Sophia: The government has been kinder and gentler by sending me more social security checks than they used to.
Dorothy: The computer made a mistake. Ma, that money doesn't belong to you. Now, how much are we talking about?
Sophia: Enough to have you rubbed out if you rat on me.
Dorothy: Ma!
Sophia: So far, 170 grand. But I haven't checked today's mail.
