Quotes 

• Blanche : [Abot Rose's recent behavior]  I am abhorred!

  Sophia : [Overhearing]  We know what you are, Blanche, I'm glad to hear you finally admitting it.

  Blanche : Sophia, I said abhorred.

  Sophia : A whore, a slut, a tramp - they're all the same.

• Rose Nylund : I have to tell you what happened. I died! I died and went to Heaven!

  Dorothy : Rose, honey, you didn't die. You passed out. You hallucinated. Remember that New Year's Eve when you had the three margaritas? Hmm? You thought you were an animated broom in Fantasia?

  Rose Nylund : Look, I know it sounds crazy. That's why I wouldn't tell anybody but my two closest friends. But it's true! It really is! I died and went to Heaven. Well, it wasn't actually Heaven Proper, it was somewhere on the outskirts.

  Blanche : You died and went to a suburb of Heaven?

• Dorothy : This death trip is probably harder on her than it is on us.

  Blanche : What do you mean harder on her? We're the ones doing everything around here while she's out there... eating life!

  Sophia : I ate Life once, not a bad cereal... when we run out of the shredded wheat, let's give it another go.

  Dorothy : Ma, go to bed.

  Sophia : Maybe I'll have some shredded wheat now, that way we'll get to the Life sooner.
