Stanley Kowalski: I am not a Pollack. People from Poland are Poles. They are not Pollacks. But what I am is one hundred percent American. I'm born and raised in the greatest country on this earth and I'm proud of it. And don't you ever call me a Poll...
Stanley Kowalski: You think I'm gonna interfere with you?... You know, maybe you wouldn't be bad to interfere with.
Stanley Kowalski: You know what luck is? Luck is believing you're lucky, that's all... To hold a front position in this rat-race, you've got to believe you are lucky
[last lines] Stanley Kowalski: Stella! Come on, Stella! Stella: I'm not going back in there again, not this time, never going back, never. Stanley Kowalski: Hey, Stella! Hey, Stellaaa!
Stella: I never listen to you when you're being morbid.
Blanche DuBois: Is there something wrong with me?
Blanche DuBois: Please don't get up. Stanley Kowalski: Nobody's going to get up, so don't get worried.
Stanley Kowalski: [to Blanche] Will you shut up! [Resumes talking on the phone] Stanley Kowalski: No, we got a noisy woman in the place.
Blanche DuBois: This old maid, she had a parrot that cursed a blue streak and knew more vulgar expressions than Mr. Kowalski.
Blanche DuBois: Young, young man. Did anyone ever tell you you look like a young prince out of the 'Arabian Nights'?
Stella: He smashed all the lightbulbs with the heel of my slipper. Blanche DuBois: And you let him? Didn't run, didn't scream? Stella: Actually, I was sorta thrilled by it.
Mitch: I like you to be exactly the way that you are, because in all my experience, I have never known anyone like you. [Blanche laughs suddenly]
Blanche DuBois: I can't stand a naked light bulb, any more than I can a rude remark or a vulgar action. Mitch: I guess we must strike you as being a pretty rough bunch. Blanche DuBois: I'm very adaptable to circumstances.
Blanche DuBois: Tarantula was the name of it. I stayed at a hotel called the Tarantula Arms. Mitch: Tarantula Arms? Blanche DuBois: Yes, a big spider. That's where I brought my victims. Yes, I've had many meetings with strangers.
Mitch: Poker should not be played in a house with women.
Stanley Kowalski: How 'bout cuttin' the re-bop?
Blanche DuBois: I said I was sorry three times!
Stanley Kowalski: Be comfortable. That's my motto up where I come from. You gonna shack up here? Well, I guess I'm gonna strike you as being the unrefined type, huh?
