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: Deliberate cruelty is unforgivable, and the one thing of which I have never,ever been guilty of.
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'?
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]
Stanley Kowalski: She is as famous in Laurel as if she was the President of the United States, only she is not respected by any party.
Some things are not forgiveable. Deliberate cruelty is not forgiveable. It is the most unforgiveable thing in my opinion, and the one thing in which I have never, ever been guilty.
Stanley Kowalski: Hey you hens! Cut out the cackling in there! Stella: You can't hear us! Stanley Kowalski: Well you can hear me, and I told you to hush up!
Stanley Kowalski: You're gonna kill who, you dumb jerk? You don't even know when you get wised up. Come on. Mitch: You don't have to wise me up.
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: 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.
Blanche DuBois: Marry me, Mitch. Mitch: No, I don't think I want to marry you anymore... No, you're not clean enough to bring into the house with my mother.
Stanley Kowalski: Hey you two hens, cut out that cacklin' in there. Stella: You can't hear us... Stanley Kowalski: Well you can hear me, now knock it off!
...love, all at once and much, much too completely. It's like you suddenly turn a blinding light on something that had always been half a shadow...
Stanley Kowalski: I never met a dame yet that didn't know if she was good-looking or not without being told, and there's some of them that give themselves credit for more than they've got.
Blanche DuBois: But some things are not forgivable. Deliberate cruelty is not forgivable! It is the one unforgivable thing, in my opinion, and the one thing of which I have never, never been guilty.
Blanche DuBois: [telephone rings] [rises out of seat] Blanche DuBois: That's for me, I'm sure. Stanley Kowalski: [pushes her back down roughly] Just keep your seat, I'm not so sure.
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?
Stanley Kowalski: Man,liquor goes fast in the hot weather.You want a shot? Blanche DuBois: No,I rarely touch it. Stanley Kowalski: Well,there's some people that really touch it,but it touches them often.
Stanley Kowalski: Man,liquor goes fast in the hot weather.You want a shot? Blanche DuBois: No,I rarely touch it. Stanley Kowalski: Well,there's some people that rarely touch it,but it touches them often.
