Favorite Quotes:
* Blanche: I know honey, but take a chance, be a woman.
* Blanche: With a little help from us I think she could fire Cupid’s arrow into the tushy of love.
Rose: Tushy of Love? For some strange reason I find that provocative.
* Blanche: Oh God, now I’m lying to a priest.
* Frank: We do a lot things real people do.
Blanche: Except for one very important thing. Boy is that going to put a hitch in Dorothy’s plans.
* Frank: You look lovely tonight.
Dorothy: I look like the mother of a solid gold dancer.
* Sophia: Don’t date a priest, it’s bad luck.
* Sophia: I thought I heard voices. Now I see that only two of them are God fearing.
* Dorothy: No matter how strongly you feel I cannot let you leave the priesthood for me.
Frank: What?
* Dorothy: If you’re not leaving the priesthood then I’ve just made a complete ass of myself. Excuse my language Father, but as an English teacher I can tell you that’s the most appropriate description.
