[edit] Memorable Quotes

• Dorothy: The lyrics don't make any sense. See, it goes, 'Miami is nice, so I'll say it twice...'
  Rose: Oh! Well, how about, 'Miami is nice, so I'll say it thrice?'
  Dorothy: Right, who the hell says thrice?
  Rose: It's a word!
  Dorothy: So is intrauterine. It does not belong in a song!!
  Rose: (singing) Miami, you're cuter than an intrauterine.

• Dorothy: I'll have you know that I dabbled a little with poetry writing back in high school.
  Rose: Well that's nothing to be ashamed of. Lots of tall girls who couldn't get dates wrote poetry.

• (Big Daddy announces his engagement, and Blanche lets out a scream)
  Big Daddy: (about Blanche) Is she happy or sad?
  Rose: I don't know. I've never heard her make that sound before.
  Dorothy: I once heard her make that sound, and I assure you, she was happy.
