Rue McClanahan: Blanche Devereaux

Quotes 

• Rose : Is it possible to be in love with two men at the same time?

  Blanche : Well, let's set the scene... have we been drinking?

• Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [happily]  Ma.

  Blanche : Sophia, you're here. And you have your suitcases. Does that mean you're not leaving?

  Sophia Petrillo : I don't get it. I'm only gone for a few days and the dumb one's in there acting like a slut while the slut's in here being stupid! Of, course I'm back!

• Blanche : Good mornin', Miles, how was the bird watching?

  Miles : Oh, Blanche, it was thrilling. Have you ever seen a Purple Martin early in the morning?

  Blanche : Yes, I have! Martin Gelman, mister 'watch me leapfrog over this parking meter'.

• Sophia Petrillo : Pussycat, I'm goin' out with my friends. Can you give me some money?

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : What happened to the money I gave you last night?

  Sophia Petrillo : Let's see. Ten bucks went for cover charge, ten bucks went for a round of drinks, and the other ten went into the G-string of a very cute male dancer named Mr Big.

  Blanche : I know that guy. That's just a stage name.

• Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : Rose, quite frankly, I don't get it. What is this hold that Buzz has over you?

  Blanche : Oh, I know exactly what she's going through, Dorothy. First love can be very powerful. I felt the same way about Heywood Boyle, the star pitcher on our High School baseball team. Ah, an amazing athlete. That boy had exceptional control.

  [she pauses in reverie, while Dorothy rolls her eyes] 

  Blanche : He was always up for extra innings.

  [another pause] 

  Blanche : And his delivery...

  Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak : [erupting]  All right, Blanche, enough!

  Rose : Yeah, we get it. So, what was he like in bed?
