AMANDA: You smoke too much. | LAURA: I’ll bring in the blanc mange. |
AMANDA: No, sister, no, sister — you be the lady this time and I’ll be the darky. | LAURA: I’m already up. |
AMANDA: Resume your seat, little sister — I want you to stay fresh and pretty — for gentlemen callers! | LAURA: I’m not expecting any gentlemen callers. |
TOM: I know what’s coming! | LAURA: Yes. But let her tell it. |
TOM: Again? | LAURA: She loves to tell it. |
AMANDA: ....And I could have been Mrs. Duncan J. Fitzhugh, mind you! But — I picked your father! | LAURA: Mother, let me clear the table. |
AMANDA: ....It’s almost time for our gentlemen callers to start arriving. How many do you suppose we’re going to entertain this afternoon? | LAURA: I don’t believe we’re going to receive any, Mother. |
AMANDA: ....Not one gentleman caller? It can’t be true! There must be a flood, there must have been a tornado! | LAURA: It isn’t a flood, it’s not a tornado, Mother. I’m just not popular like you were in Blue Mountain. Mother’s afraid I’m going to be an old maid. |
