Quotes 

• Blanche : Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go take a long, hot, steamy bath, with just enough water to barely cover my perky bosoms.

  Sophia Petrillo : You're only gonna sit in an inch of water?

• Blanche : Oh, why would Fidel want another woman? After all, he's dipped his toes in the lake known as "Blanche."

• Blanche : Blanche Devereaux has never shared a man!

  Sophia Petrillo : Or a pizza.

• Blanche : Is this dress me?

  Sophia Petrillo : It's too tight, it's too short, it shows too much cleavage for a woman your age.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Yes Blanche, it's you.

• [last lines] 

  Blanche : You know, if I had it all to do over again, I'd let you have Fidel.

  Sophia Petrillo : Oh, you're so generous! The man's packing material, now you're letting me have him? I have coat racks livelier than him!

  [announcing to the whole congregation as she begins to leave] 

  Sophia Petrillo : She's giving him to me. The man's face has more powder on it than Ann Miller's and she's giving him to me. A piece of lumber would make a better dancing partner! Thanks for niente!

• [Rose opens the front door] 

  Fidel Santiago : Hello!

  Rose Nylund : Oh, hello! We thought you were Blanche's date but you're much too old.

  Fidel Santiago : Hola, Blanche!

  Blanche : Hello sweetheart, come here. I want you to meet all my friends.

  Rose Nylund : [to Fidel]  Please forgive me. It wasn't my fault; my cousins have been marrying each other for generations. I'm sorry.

• Blanche : Girls, look, I know it seems strange, but I happen to have strong feelings for Fidel. I can't explain it. Some things in life defy explanation.

  Rose Nylund : Yeah, like Bruce Willis' hair.
