[reading the newspaper] Miami will be busy this weekend with ten major conventions. Listen to this. ...the highlight being the Citrus Festival Ball, which is being chaired this year by 35-year-old Blanche Devereaux. How much did that cost you?
I don't have to pay for my compliments!
You went to bed with him.
Twice. But it's not like I wouldn't have anyway.
[off the phone with Virginia, flippant] Oh, it's Big Daddy. He's dead. [walks away]
[at the Hollingsworth mansion]
You are the one who has never been here for the family. You.
I have always been here for this family and how dare you say otherwise!
Everything you do is for Blanche. To tell you the truth, I am surprised that you even made it to the funeral at all.
Maybe you would have been happier if I hadn't!
Maybe not happier, but at least this family would be able to grieve for Big Daddy without wondering what is in it for Blanche!
Oh, fine. Hey, you don't have a thing to worry about. You won't even have to think about Blanche, because if you're going to be at that funeral, I refuse to go! [storms out]
[Sophia hands Rose a note with the explanation regarding Blanche's citrus plate]
I wrote it down. You be Rose, why don't I be Sophia. This is what we'll say right after they walk in the door. [reads] "Hi, Blanche! You look beautiful. Welcome home. I love you."
[reads] "I broke the plate. I'm such a clumsy fool."
Okay, now you can skip down to here.
I'm not gonna do this!
Come on, you gotta! If it's the writing, I can punch it up!
