Blanche, Rose and others in “Sick and Tired”

Blanche

Listen, tell me I can't do better than this in my sleep. [Opens a book and begins to read] "He grabbed her. She could feel his fingers pressin' into her moist flesh. Her heart was poundin', her loins on fire. As he spun her around, her dress rippin' open..." You know how many times I've experienced that?

Rose

[puzzled] Your loins have been on fire?

Blanche

Yes! [Reading again] "...she melted into..."

Rose

Where exactly are your loins?

Blanche

Rose, it doesn't matter, just listen. "...she melted into his arms, faint now with the animal musk of him..."

Rose

I didn't know people had loins! I've heard of loin of pork...

Sophia

[indicating Blanche] In her case, the same thing.
