Answer 4

CLAIREE: She had eleven total.

Question 5

OUISER: Are you trying to confuse me? What are you talking about?

Answer 5

CLAIREE: This article says that she had six fingers on one hand. So she had all her dresses made so the sleeves hung down to her fingertips so she wouldn’t look weird.

Question 6

TRUVY: Clairee. I just love my scarf. You are so thoughtful. It really jazzes up this outfit.

Answer 6

CLAIREE: The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize.

Question 7

TRUVY: I’m just so touched that you remembered us.

Answer 7

CLAIREE: I had a ball shopping. I don’t care what anyone says, the French people are very friendly. And most of them had the courtesy to speak English.

Question 8

OUISER: You’re welcome to it.

Answer 8

CLAIREE: You don’t like it, do you?

Question 9

Question 10

TRUVY. Who knows what’s on her mind? But she might need something and I just wanted to be here for her.

Answer 10

CLAIREE: I’m glad you decided to stay open today.

Question 11

TRUVY: My husband and I are taking some barbecue over there later.

Answer 12

CLAIREE: I have never seen so much food.

Question 13

ANNELLE: You’ll have to ask him. Sammy runs me off whenever he starts cooking. That kitchen is so tiny he’s scared he’ll hit me in the stomach with a spatula.

Answer 13

CLAIREE: When are you moving Annelle?

Question 14

TRUVY: A little bit. Not a lot. Guess it’s just me and the old man.

CLAIREE: Truvy. Be thankful. You’d miss him if he were gone.

Question 15

M’LYNN: Hello everybody. Welcome home, Clairee. How was Paris?

Answer 15

CLAIREE: Perfectly beautiful. I ate too much. I brought you something pretty.

Question 16

M’LYNN: You shouldn’t have. Don’t turn off Shelby’s radio. I like the noise.

Answer 16

CLAIREE: There’s special programming today. I had Jonathan go down to the station and pull music that Shelby would have liked and they’re going to play it until noon.

Question 17

M’LYNN: He told me. I think you’re going to be surprised at some of the stuff you hear.

Answer 17

CLAIREE: It’s okay. It’s for Shelby.

Question 18

M’LYNN: I’m fine. I am a little worried about Drum. The boys got in last night. I really don’t know how they’re doing. Jackson is… Jackson. And he has his hands full with Jack Jr. I will admit it’s hard to be somber with a baby running around.

Answer 18

CLAIREE: M’Lynn. I am beside myself. Wasn’t Shelby fine when I left? Can you talk about it?

Question 19

M’LYNN: ……. I just wanna hit something…and hit it hard!

Answer 19

CLAIREE: Here. Hit this! Go ahead, M’Lynn. Slap her!

Question 20

OUISER: Are you crazy?

Answer 20

CLAIREE: Hit her!

Question 21

TRUVY: Clairee! Have you lost your mind?

Answer 21

CLAIREE: We can sell T-shirts saying “I slapped Ouiser Boudreaux!” Hit her!

Question 22

OUISER. Truvy! Dial 911!

Answer 22

CLAIREE: Don’t let her beauty stand in the way. Hit her!

Question 23

M’LYNN: Hush, Clairee.

Answer 23

CLAIREE: Ouiser, this is your chance to help your fellow man. Knock her lights out, M’Lynn!

Question 24

OUISER: Let go of me!

Answer 24

CLAIREE: Well, M’Lynn. You just missed the chance of a lifetime. Most of Chinquapin Parish’d give their eyeteeth to take a whack at Ouiser.

Question 25

OUISER: You are a pig from hell.

Answer 25

CLAIREE: OK. Alright. Hit me then. I deserve it.

Question 26

TRUVY: Clairee. You are evil and you must be destroyed.

Answer 26

CLAIREE: Darling. Mother Nature is taking care of that faster than you could. Things were getting entirely too serious there for a moment. I’m sorry M’Lynn. We are all entitled to our sorrow.

Question 27

ANNELLE: I have to admit I laughed… even though that wasn’t a very Christian thing to do, Miss Clairee.

Answer 27

CLAIREE: Annelle, honey. You’re going to have to lighten up.

Question 28

ANNELLE: My husband says the same thing.

Answer 28

CLAIREE: I’ll bet Lloyd got a kick out of that one.

Question 29

OUISER: Lloyd did get a lot of enjoyment at my expense when he was alive.

Answer 29

CLAIREE: M’Lynn you know how much Lloyd adored Shelby. I am sure he’s up there now showing her around… fixing her speeding tickets…

Question 30

M’LYNN: Shelby was always crazy about Lloyd.

Answer 30

CLAIREE: She worshipped the quicksand he walked on. And I’m sure when Shelby got up there, he was very happy to see a familiar face. He was a Louisiana politician. We don’t know many people that went to heaven.

Question 31

OUSIER: Clairee?

Answer 31

CLAIREE: Ouiser? You know I love you more than my luggage.

Question 32

OUISER: You are too twisted for color TV.

Answer 32

CLAIREE: Thank you.

Question 33

ANNELLE: Not on your first visit.

Answer 33

CLAIREE: Very good, Annelle! Spoken like a true smart alec!

Question 34

ANNELLE: And if her line’s busy, you call me.

Answer 34

CLAIREE: Call me. I have call waiting. Just got it.

Question 35

M’LYNN: Mind? Shelby would love that. I’m tickled pink. Pink.

Answer 35

CLAIREE: What’ll you name it if it’s a boy?
