A Streetcar Named Desire Quote
Blanche DuBois : Why, those were a tribute from an admirer of mine.
Stanley Kowalski : He must have had a lot of admiration.
Blanche DuBois : Oh, in my youth I excited some admiration. But look at me now! Would you think it possible that I was once considered to be attractive?
Stanley Kowalski : Your looks are okay.
Blanche DuBois : I was fishing for a compliment Stanley.
Stanley Kowalski : I don't go in for that stuff.
Blanche DuBois : What stuff?
Stanley Kowalski : Compliments to women about their looks. I never met a dame yet that didn't know if she was good-looking or not without being told, and some of them give themselves credit for more than they've got. I once went out with a dame who told me, " I'm the glamorous type," she says, "I am the glamorous type!" I say, "So What?"
Blanche DuBois : And what did she say then?
Stanley Kowalski : She didn't say nothing. That shut her up like a clam.
Blanche DuBois : Did it end the romance?
Stanley Kowalski : It ended the conversation that was all. You know that some men are taken in by all this Hollywood glamour and some just aren't.
Blanche DuBois : I'm sure you belong in the second category.
Stanley Kowalski : That's right.
Blanche DuBois : I cannot imagine any witch of a woman casting a spell over you.
Stanley Kowalski : That's right.
Blanche DuBois : You're simple, straightforward and honest, a little bit on the primitive side, I should think. To interest you a woman would have to...
Stanley Kowalski : To lay her cards out on the table.
Stanley Kowalski : Well I never did care for wishy-washy people. That was why when you walked in
