A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire1951



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 last night, I said to myself, "my sister has married a man". Of course that was all I could hope to...

Stanley Kowalski:
[He yells at her] How about cutting the rebop!

Stella:
[Entering the room] Stanley! Stanley, you come outside with me and left Blanche finish dressing!

Blanche DuBois:
I've finished dressing honey.

Stella:
Well you come out then.

Stanley Kowalski:
Your sister and I are having a talk.
