Blanche: The After-Effects Of Reality
Stanley Fights Back
Stanley:
Goddamn, it’s hot in here with the steam from the bathroom.
Blanche:
I’ve said I was sorry three times. I take hot baths for my nerves. Hydro-therapy, they call it. You healthy Polack, without a nerve in your body of course you don’t know what anxiety feels like!
Stanley:
I am not a Polack. People from Poland are Poles, not Polacks. But what I am is a one hundred percent American, born and raised in the greatest country on earth and proud as hell of it, so don’t ever call me a Polack.
Mitch Does Not Show
Blanche Calls Mitch
Blanche Is Kicked Out
Blanche:
I shouldn’t have called him.
Stella:
There’s lots of things could have happened.
Blanche:
There’s no excuse for it, Stella. I don’t have to put up with insults. I won’t be taken for granted.
Blanche:
Stanley, tell us a joke, tell us a funny story to make us all laugh. I don’t know what’s the matter, we’re all so solemn. Is it because I’ve been stood up by my beau? It’s the first time in my entire experience with men, and I’ve had a good deal of all sorts, that I’ve actually been stood up by anybody! Ha-ha! I don’t know how to take it…. Tell us a funny little story, Stanley! Something to help us out.
Stanley:
...Sister Blanche, I’ve got a little birthday remembrance for you. Blanche:

Stanley:
Twenty-seven?
Blanche:
What is it? Is it for me?
Stanley:
Yes, I hope you like it.
Blanche:
Why, why – Why, it’s a –
Stanley:
Ticket! Back to Laurel! On the Greyhound! Tuesday
Stella Shows Her Old Self
Stella:
Your face and your fingers are disgustingly greasy. Go and wash up and then help me clear the table.
[he hurls a plate to the floor.]
Stanley:
That’s how I’ll clear the table! Don’t ever talk that way to me! “Pig – Polack – disgusting – vulgar – greasy!” – them kind of words have been on your tongue and your sister’s too much around here! What do you two think you are? A pair of queens? Remember what Huey Long said – “Every Man is a King!” And I am the king around here, so don’t forget it! [he hurls a cup and saucer to the floor] My place is cleared! You want me to clear your places?
