Blanche DuBois

• They told me to take a streetcar named "Desire", transfer to one called "Cemetery", ride six blocks and get off, at Elysian Fields.

Dialogue

Stella: But there are things that happen, between a man and a woman, in the dark, that sorta make everything else seem unimportant.

Blanche: What you are talking about is brutal desire. Just desire. The name of that rattletrap streetcar that bangs through the Quarter, up one old narraw street and down another.

Stella: Haven't you ever ridden that streetcar?

Blanche: It brought me here, where I'm not wanted, and where I'm ashamed to be.
