Quotes5

  • Blanche: Do you know that we have four hundred and eighty-five applications for next year's course already?
  • Dr. Sherman: You know, I swear if I propose to you, you'd file it under "applications".
  • Blanche: [pulling a book from the shelf and clearing her throat before she starts to read aloud] On page eighteen, chapter three, rule four: "Many a good secretary has married her boss. No good boss has ever married his secretary." Quote, unquote.
  • Dr. Sherman: [pointing to the now closed book in her hands] I wrote that before you came in.
  • Blanche: Why don't we go have a drink to that.
  • Blanche: It would never work out between you and me. I swear Joe, every time you kiss me you would run and gargle.
  • Blanche: I thought we were testing management skills, Professor Sherman.
  • Dr. Sherman: Well, blackmail is a management skill.
  • Blanche: Fifty men, every three weeks, and they are all so boring. You know, I get asked the same two questions, five times a day, every day. Number one: Miss Blanche, how am I doin' on this course? And number two: Eh, would you like to slip up to my room after dinner?
  • Dr. Sherman: And, eh, what do you tell them?
  • Blanche: I tell them that they are here to have their potential as executives measured and that questions like that do not get asked by the President of General Motors.
  • Steven: In school they told us to shower to take our minds off this kind of thing.
  • Blanche: [giggles] In Sunday school they told us to pray.
  • Steven: Oh yeah?
  • Blanche: Well, I don't know what the other girls used to pray for. I use to pray for things like this.
