cookiejar Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I've been fightin' the blues and all the sudden a couple of Steel Magnolia quotes popped into my brain that made me smile. Like I was looking at this idiot woman at my work and then I thought: and the nicest thing I can say about her is all her tattoos were spelled correctly Remember that line? Heres a few more... I'm not crazy Melynn, I've just been in a very bad mood for forty years. Shelby: Was she praying? Truvy: Yes. Shelby: Why? Truvy: Beats me, maybe she was praying for Marshall, and Drew, and Belle. Maybe she was praying for us for gossiping. Maybe she was praying because the elastic is shot in her pantyhose, who knows? She prays at the drop of a hat these days. Time marches on. and then you realize it's marching across your face. So, got a quote from Steel Magnolia's that makes you smile? We all need a smile, how about sharing? Link to comment
ArmyOfFive4God Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 OH I LOVE Steel Magnolias! Here are some of mine: Aww, thanks Ouiser. Nothin' like a good piece of a$$. ************************* He is a boil on the butt of humanity! ************************* (And I had to go look this one up, but this is one of the funniest parts:) M'Lynn: [crying] I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine. [screaming] M'Lynn: I'm fine! I can jog all the way to Texas and back, but my daughter can't! She never could! Oh God! I am so mad I don't know what to do! I wanna know why! I wanna know *why* Shelby's life is over! I wanna know how that baby will *ever* know how wonderful his mother was! Will he *ever* know what she went through for him! Oh *God* I wanna know *why*? *Why*? Lord, I wish I could understand! [in a firm tone] M'Lynn: No! No! No! It's not supposed to happen this way! I'm supposed to go first. I've always been ready to go first! I-I don't think I can take this! I-I don't think I can take this! I-I just wanna *hit* somebody 'til they feel as bad as I do! I just wanna *hit* something! I wanna *hit it hard*! [continues sobbing] Clairee: *Here*! [Grabs Ouiser by the shoulder and positions her in front of M'Lynn] Clairee: *Hit this*! Go ahead M'Lynn, *slap her*! Ouiser Boudreaux: [Taken aback and confused] Are you crazy? Clairee: *Hit her*! Ouiser Boudreaux: *Are you high, Clairee*? Ouiser Boudreaux: [in a frightened tone] Clairee, have you lost your mind? Clairee: We'll sell t-shirts sayin' "I SLAPPED OUISER BOUDREAUX!" Hit her! Annelle: [in a scared tone] Ms. Clairee, enoough! Clairee: Ouiser, this is your chance to do something for your fellow man! Knock her lights out, M'Lynn! Ouiser Boudreaux: [snatches away] Let go o' me! Clairee: M'LYNN, YOU JUST MISSED THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME! HALF O' CHIQUAPIN PARISH'LL GIVE THEIR EYE-TEETH TO TAKE A WHACK O' OUISER! Link to comment
Cat Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 It's been too long since I saw it for me to remember much. But I went on a "search" and ran across these: ~~~~~ Clairee Belcher: The older you get, the sillier you get. Ouiser Boudreaux: Yeah, well the older you get, the uglier you get. ~~~~~ Ouiser Boudreaux: Don't try to get on my good side, Truvy. I no longer have one! ~~~~~ Shelby: Remember what Daddy always says - an ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure! ~~~~~ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098384/quotes Gonna have to get that one to see again...

Jeepers Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Ah, Steel Magnolias. It's one of my favorites. I know the ending by heart and I still bawl every time. The laughs make it worth it though. Link to comment

Jeepers Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Clairee Belcher: You know, you would be a much more contented, pleasant person if you would find ways to occupy your time. Ouiser Boudreaux: I'm pleasant. *&^% it! I saw Drum Eatenton at the Piggly Wiggly this morning, and I smiled at the *&^%% 'fore I could help myself. ------------------------------------------------------------- Truvy: Oh, Sammy's so confused he don't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ouiser Boudreaux: This is it, I've found it, I'm in hell. -------------------------------------------------------------- Ouiser Boudreaux: I am just about at the end of my rope with you. Drum: Well, then why don't you tie a noose and slip it 'round your head? -------------------------------------------------------------- The first one I really relate to. It has happened to me once when I ran into one of 'those' neighbors. I think I even said hi before I caught myself. (blush) Link to comment
