Burt: These your roommates?

Sophia: Yeah

Burt: Which one’s the slut?

Blanche, Dorothy, Rose: I am!

Rose: [on inspiring Meg to quit prostitution, and moving back home] What was it I said?

Meg: Nothing.

Meg: I didn’t wanna be your age and still be in the business.

Rose: I’ve never felt so good…

Rose: …and so cheap in my whole life.

Blanche: We’re gonna see Burt after all!

Sophia: Which one of you isn’t going?

Blanche: Well… I’m the one who won the tickets.

Dorothy: It’s my mom who’s bailing us out.

Rose: I lost Butter Queen. Haven’t I suffered enough?

Rose: Sophia, did you come to bail us out?

Dorothy: No, Rose, she’s dropping off a manicotti with a file in it.

Rose: It was small consolation to find out, years later…

Rose: …there had been churn-tampering involved.

Rose: As the pageant drew to it’s frenzied finale…

Rose: …there I was, alongside the other two finalists…

Rose: …churning my guts out.

Rose: When all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, my churn jammed.

Everybody: Oh, no.

Rose: Yes.

Rose: Just like that, it was over.

Rose: I’d lost.

Rose: It was the biggest disappointment in my life.

Dorothy: Rose, you’re embarrassing yourself. Please don’t go on.

Rose: I have to. I’ve kept these bitter butter memories too long.

Rose: I showed poise in the evening gown competition.

Rose: I was brilliant in the oral butter quiz.

Rose: They couldn’t even trip me up with a trick margarine question.

Rose: That evening butter was spelt R-O-S-E.

Rose: [on being Butter Queen] From the time I was born my folks groomed me for it.

Rose: Singing lessons, dancing lessons, junior butter pageants.

Rose: For 16 years my entire life revolved around butter.

Dorothy: You were very fortunate. So many of us wasted our youth.

Dorothy: So what was this great disappointment in your life?

Rose: Butter. I wanted to be Butter Queen.

Blanche: Aw, yeah. What an actress.

Blanche: She was so good in Gone With the Wind.

Blanche: I wanted to be Miss Olivia de Havilland myself.

Dorothy: Blanche, are you even listening?

Blanche: Bits and pieces.

Rose: Well, Butter Queen was our town’s highest honor.
