Quotes 

• Rose : Hi Blanche! Gee, you look terrific!

  Blanche : Thanks!

  [jogs out the door] 

  Rose : [to Dorothy]  Blanche looks terrible!

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : That's because all she eats is wheat grass and bee pollen.

  Rose : I know! And the strange thing is the bees look so good!

• Blanche : Read any good books lately?

  Dirk : Pumping Iron. I saw the movie too but I just don't think it did the book justice.

  Blanche : Yes, well... how could it?

• Blanche : [a man in his 20s has invited Blanche out to dinner]  You know what I think, I think I can handle this relationship with Dirk. I'm gonna go out with him this Saturday night.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Was there ever any doubt?

  Blanche : Momentarily. This is strictly off the record but - Dirk's nearly five years younger than I am.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : In what Blanche, dog years?

• Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : What are you doing now?

  Blanche : I'm taking my bee-pollen and my sheep's liver extract and my fish oil protein. I'm getting younger with each passing day.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Great. When they defrost Walt Disney he'll have someone to go out with.

• Dirk : [making small talk at a restaurant]  I'm into macrobiotics.

  Blanche : So am I, I just like this atmosphere.
