Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Even though this episode is a dream, how come the women ask Blanche who this man is? Obviously after over six years together, they would have seen pictures of George and know what he looks like. Edit
- This might be considered a nitpick: How come Blanche doesn't confront her husband George about cheating on her? (In the episode "An Illegitimate Concern", you discover that George had an affair resulting in a son named David.) Edit
- Even though this whole episode is a dream of Blanche's and outside of being with George, the rest doesn't hold much relevance; Sophia says Dorothy went alone to her junior prom in 1946, but at that time she would've only been a freshman, or possibly a sophomore. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES

ADD QUOTES
- (Hearing Dorothy say she got Flowers From Stars and She thought they wouldn't believe her) Sophia: And why wouldn't we Miss Junior Prom 1948? Dorothy: (warning tone) Ma, you promised. Sophia: (To Girls) Dating the quarterback she says, buys her own corsage and spends the rest of the evening in the basement slow-dancing with a rake. She would've gotten away with it, but while she was giving herself hickeys with a vacuum cleaner she stepped into a puddle! Edit
- Blanche: (about Sophia) You'd think she'd at least feel sorry for me. Rose: To tell you the truth, I don't feel sorry for you, either. I mean, why should I? My Charlie is dead, and nobody's giving me a second chance. Listen, Blanche, I know what it's like to have a husband suddenly taken. I never had a chance to say all of things I would have wanted to say. Well, you must know how that feels. Blanche: Yes, but after what he did to me.... Rose: Blanche, this isn't about getting even. For nine years, you've been missing George. Now he's here, and I'm jealous of you. Tell him you love him. Tell him you hate him. I don't care, but just see him before he leaves. Do it for yourself. Do it for all of us who wish we had the chance. Edit
- Blanche: Since the funeral, I've been with other men. Many, many men. I always felt like I was cheating on you. George: Oh, Blanche, every day I was gone, I always wished you'd find someone who could make you happy. How--how many men? Blanche: (pauses) Two.... Edit
