Dorothy: Finished. I have graded the last paper. D minus?
Rose: You're gonna give the poor kid a D minus?
Dorothy: That's because substitute teachers aren't authorized to impose the death penalty.

Jamie: I never will forget back in high school in biology class when we were studying the octopus.
Blanche: Now, I swear I meant to say eight tentacles.
Jamie: No, you didn't. Any girl who says that and doesn't blush knows what she's saying. You were the only thing that kept me awake in biology class. To old friends.

Jamie: Blanche! Honey, you always did look pretty when you held your breath.
Blanche: Jamie!
Jamie: Well, Blanche, why do you look so stricken? It can't be because Mother's dead. You two could never stand the sight of each other.
Blanche: I had forgotten how much you look like George, how much you sound like him.
Jamie: I can't help it. I'm his brother. Aren't you gonna introduce me?
Blanche: To who? Oh! Where are my manners? Jamie, these are my friends Dorothy and Rose.
Rose: Ladies, in her all-too-infrequent letters, Blanche has spoken of you in glowing terms. I feel real lucky to get the chance to know you personally.
Rose: Why, thank you, kind sir. [curtsies]
Dorothy: You'll have to excuse Rose. Every time a man speaks Southern at her, she goes all stupid.
