Quotes
-
Blanche : [as she introduces her latest lover to the others] And this is Sophia.
Harry : Well - you must be Blanche's sister.
Sophia : You must be blind.
Blanche : [Long pause] Sophia's home just burnt down.
Harry : That's terrible!
Sophia : Not to me. It was a retirement home - and you know what? They set off the drill in a retirement home - who can rush? Half the people have walkers, the other half can't get out of their chairs. But they got bells going off like crazy. You know what that does to hearts that only beat a few times a week?... Its not pretty.

Blanche : I can't eat anything with eyes.
Rose Nylund : I can't eat anything that moves.
Dorothy : Like what, Rose, horses?
Rose Nylund : Like oysters.
Coco : Oysters don't move.
Dorothy : Coco they could dance! Who cares?
Rose Nylund : Oysters move! Very slowly, you have to watch them.

Blanche : [Blanche's first ever lines] Dorothy, can I borrow your mink stole?
Dorothy : It's Miami in June - only cat's are wearing fur!
Rose Nylund : Are you going out?
Dorothy : No, she's going to sit here where its 112 degrees and eat enchiladas.

Blanche : [to Rose and Dorothy] And then I realised I was feeling good, because of you. You made the difference. You're my family, and you make me happy to be alive.

Blanche : I just wonder what my husband, George, would make of me and Harry.
Dorothy : Well, if he was alive he probably would not like it. But since he's dead I don't think it poses a problem.
Blanche : Well, I just want him to know I'm happy, but I could never be as happy with Harry in the same way - as I was with him.
Rose Nylund : He knows, Blanche, he knows. Your thoughts and feelings go right to him, you can communicate directly from your heart, can't you, Dorothy?
Dorothy : Oh don't ask me - I can't get through to New Jersey with MCI.
