Quotes 

• Clayton Hollingsworth : I shouldn't have got you mixed up in all this. It's just so hard to tell Blanche the truth.

  Rose : Clayton, you're selling your sister short. Now at times Blanche can be very understanding, compassionate and forgiving.

  Blanche : [entering the room]  Get away from my baby brother you cradle snatchin', empty headed, two faced dummy!

  Rose : And then at other times she can be a real bitch.

• Blanche : [Blanche and Rose have had a fight and Blanche has gone to a bitter Rose to say "sorry"]  Now, Rose, I'm about to say two little words and they are the hardest words for me to say...

  Rose : [cutting Blanche off]  'Not tonight?'

• Rose : I don't feel right even talking about it, maybe if I whisper.

  [whispers into Dorothy's ear] 

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : [confused]  Clayton is a hobo?

  Rose : No, Dorothy!

  [whispers again] 

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Oh... oh! Now, now I get it!

  Rose : Oh thank goodness, for a minute I thought I was going to have to draw you a picture, and I'm not even sure I'd know how!

• Rose : We should put out the Welcome mat.

  Blanche : We don't have a Welcome mat.

  Rose : What about the one Dorothy always says is at the foot of your bed?

• [Clayton happened to meet Rose after a failed date and confessed his homosexuality to her, now she is helping him to confess to Blanche] 

  Rose : Tell her, Clayton.

  Clayton Hollingsworth : I will, Rose.

  Blanche : Tell me what?

  Clayton Hollingsworth : Well, I ran into Rose at the park and...

  Blanche : And?

  Clayton Hollingsworth : And we had a long talk and...

  Blanche : And?

  Clayton Hollingsworth : And... we slept together tonight.
