Blanche Quote #1207

Quote from Blanche in The Monkey Show

Dorothy: Oh, and I feel great. As a matter of fact, a toast. To finality and closure. To husbands being out of our lives, and gone forever!
Blanche: Oh, Dorothy!
Dorothy: No, wait, wait. This This is good. I mean, don't cry. Why are you crying?
Rose: Our husbands are dead, you monster.
Dorothy: I'm sorry. I mean, I didn't mean it that way. Oh, come on now, let's celebrate.
Blanche: Celebrate? You don't know what it's like to have a husband die and leave you with nothin'. Just a closet full of suits that you spend the rest of your lonely life tryin' to get rid of. What are you, anyway, a 42 regular?

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, what are you doing?
Sophia: Filling sandbags, Dorothy. There's a hurricane a-coming.
Dorothy: "A-coming"?
Sophia: That's right. People only use the "A" when a really big storm is a-coming or a-brewing. So grab a sack and start a-shoveling.

Quote from Rose

Blanche: Oh, you're back from your session early. Was it as cathartic as you thought?
Dorothy: Well, I don't know if "cathartic" is the word.
Rose: You should do what I do. I find if I repeat a word that's confused me, I look smarter than I really am. Like, "Was it cathartic?" "Oh, I've had a catharticism." "Of course, I'm not the type to kiss and cathartirize."

Quote from Sophia

Dorothy: Ma, the weather report said nothing about a hurricane.
Sophia: Ida Pearlberg down at the senior center woke up this morning with a leg cramp. Need I say more?
Dorothy: Yes.
Sophia: Dorothy, when you get around my age, two things happen. One, you get more intuitive about the weather. And two, corn becomes your enemy.
