Favorite Quotes:
* Blanche: I’m just not sure about the pearls. Do you think pearls nestled in the ample cleavage revealed by my clinging low-cut gown somehow might suggest that I’m nothing but a cheap easy good time?
Dorothy: They might.
Blanche: That settles it. Pearls it is.
* Sophia: Oh boy if this is the kitchen then I’m poaching an egg in the toilet.
* Sophia: He’s a pig, there’s no accounting for taste.
* Dorothy: Even your money has more fun than I do.
* Dorothy: Four grown women decide to live with a pig and he has a mental problem?
* Dorothy: Are you telling us that the pig is dying of homesickness?
* Rose: I’m just as disappointed as you are. It’s been great having a pig living in the in the house, but we can’t jeopardize Baby’s health.
* Dorothy: We lied to Rose. We tricked her into jeopardizing the life of an animal just so we could make a quick buck. * Blanche: Oh my god. I’m a murderer. I’m nothing but no-good money-grubbing trash. Baby, forgive me.
