Blanche: "You sit down now, and explain this place to me. What are you doing in a place like this? "
Stella " Now, Blanche---"

Blanche: My, my, what a cold shoulder! And a face like a thundercloud! And such uncouth apparel! Why, you haven't even shaved! The unforgivable insult to a lady! But I forgive you. 

Blanche: Take your foot off the bed. It has a light cover on it. Of course you boys don't notice things like that. I've done so much with this place since I've been here.

Mitch:"You're French?"
Blanche:"We are French by extraction. Our first American ancestors were french Huguenots."
