Blanche : Jane, do you remember when I first came back after the accident?
Jane : You promised you wouldn't ever talk about that again.
Blanche : I know I did. But I'm still in this chair. After all those years, I'm still in this chair. Doesn't that give you some kind of responsibility? Jane, I'm just trying to explain to you how things really are. You wouldn't be able to do these awful things to me if I weren't still in this chair.
Jane : But you *are*, Blanche! You *are* in that chair!

Dr. Shelby : I don't quite understand. Is this some kind of emotional disturbance you're talking about?

Blanche : Did you have a nice drive?
Jane : What are you talking about?
Blanche : Nothing dear, I... it's been so long since you were out of the house I thought perhaps you had gone for a drive or something. You know I was thinking, it's ever so long since we had a talk, you know, a real talk about the future and everything. Jane, I didn't want you to be worried about the house, even if I do have to sell it, we'll still be together.
Jane : Blanche you're not gonna sell this house. Daddy bought this house, and he bought it for me! You don't think I remember that, do you?
Blanche : You're wrong, Jane. You've just forgotten. I bought this house for the two of us, when I signed my first contract.
Jane : You don't think I remember anything, do you? There are a whole lot of things I remember. And you never paid for this house. Baby Jane Hudson made the money that paid for this house, that's who!
Blanche : You don't know what you're saying.
Jane : Blanche, you aren't ever gonna sell this house... and you aren't ever gonna leave it... either.

Jane : You know, we're right back where we started. When I was on the stage you had to depend on me for everything. Even the food you ate came from me. Now you have to depend on me for your food again. So, you see, we're right back where we started.
Blanche : Why are you doing this to me? Why?
Jane : Doing what?
Blanche : Making me afraid to eat. Trying to make me starve myself.
Jane : Don't be silly. If you starve you die.

Blanche : You weren't ugly then. I made you that way.
