Favorite Quotes:

* Dorothy: What happened Ma, Butch and Sundance steal your seat on the bus?

* Blanche: I need four years and five minutes.

* Rose: Dorothy’s right. I haven’t heard anyone insult someone like that since Lars Swenson accused Eric the Red of being a coward and called him yellow.

* Jeremy: Rebecca is a bigger everything.
Dorothy: Not everything Jeremy.

* Rose: Back in that town whose name you’re tired of hearing…

* Sophia: She’s your grandmother. Has she ever lied to you?

* Rebecca: Oh Mama, open your eyes. Look at me. I’m not beautiful. I’m not a catch.
Blanche: Well, for that man out there you certainly are.

* Blanche: You’re probably the only woman out there who is kind enough and caring enough to even give him a second glance. He’s not good enough for you.

* Rose: It’s not like Blanche to go to bed at 8’o’clock.
Sophia: At least not by herself.
