What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Movie Quotes

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!

Dehlia Flagg [after divulging the 'accident' involving the Hudson sisters] So the fine woman you've chosen to run around with turns out to be broke and a murderer as well!
Edwin Flagg I see!
Dehlia Flagg Well, it's true!
Edwin Flagg All right then, if it's true I'll ask her about it when I see her again. How's that?
Dehlia Flagg You wouldn't see a woman like that again!
Edwin Flagg Why not, you just told me she's got a rich sister.
Dehlia Flagg Yeah, but there's the worst of it yet!
Edwin Flagg [sarcastically] You mean there's more?
Dehlia Flagg Yes, there is. After she run down her sister, your precious Jane Hudson ran off and left her there to die like some poor animal. She ran off and disappeared for three whole days!
Edwin Flagg Oh? What happened then? Don't tell me they couldn't find her.
Dehlia Flagg Oh, they found her all right. They found her all right! They found her in some hotel room with some man she'd never even seen before!
Edwin Flagg WELL, WHY SHOULD THAT UPSET YOU?
[storms out]
Edwin Flagg Isn't that how I was conceived?

Dr. Shelby I don't quite understand. Is this some kind of emotional disturbance you're talking about?
Blanche Yes, she's emotionally disturbed. She's unbalanced!

Jane It's just that nosy Mrs. Bates going on about your picture last night.
Blanche Oh, really, did she like it?
Jane [imitating Blanche's voice] Oh, really, did she like it?... She liked it!

Jane I'll bring in some tea. You like tea?
Edwin Flagg Oh, yes. I'm quite fond of tea. You must have guessed that I'm English.

Blanche Who was that at the door earlier?
Jane Elvira.
Blanche Where is she now? In the kitchen?
Jane No, I gave her the day off. She has a pretty hard time considering. I told her to come back next week.
Jane [pauses] Oh, Blanche? You know we've got rats in the cellar?

Jane I've written a letter to Daddy / His address is Heaven above / I've written "Dear Daddy, we miss you / And wish you were with us to love" / Instead of a stamp I put kisses / The postman says that's best to do / I've written a letter to Daddy / Saying "I love you" / Now when I'm very good, and do as I am told / I'm Mama's little angel and Papa says I'm good as gold / Now when I'm very bad and answer back and sass / Then I'm Mama's little devil, and Papa says I've got the brass / Now I wish that you would tell me / Cos I'm much too young to know...

Jane I don't want to talk about it! Everytime I think about something nice, you remind me of bad things. I only want to talk about the nice things.

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 [Blanche is buzzing] Alright, Blanche Hudson! Miss big, fat movie star! Miss rotten, stinking actress! Press a button, ring a bell and you think the whole *damn* world comes running, don't you? Lunch, Miss Hudson? Why, certainly, Miss Husdon! I'm sure we can find something appropriate for you, Miss Hudson!

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 Jane, did you ever stop to think that - if anything happened to me, I mean anything bad, there wouldn't be any money for you? I wouldn't be here to sign the checks. You wouldn't even have pocket money. Did you ever think of that?
Jane Yeah, I've thought about that.
🧡

🥱
Edwin Flagg Oh, do you mean you're really - the - Baby Jane Hudson?
Jane Yes, I am! And I'm going to revive my act exactly as I used to do it. Of course, some of the arrangements will have to be brought up-to-date. Music changes so much, doesn't it? And you know they're desperate for new acts: television, Las Vegas, and all the clubs. Well, there are a lot of people who remember me. Lots of them!
Edwin Flagg I don't see how you could fail.

Blanche I was just hoping, maybe, maybe I could meet him and we could have a nice talk - just the three of us.

Liza Bates Gee, she must be about 150 by now.
Mrs. Bates As a matter of fact, dear, I think Blanche Hudson is just a few years older than I am.
Liza Bates Really?
Mrs. Bates Yes, dear. Really!
Liza Bates Well, how come we never see her around? We've been living next door to them for six months now. And the only one I ever see is that fat sister slouching around. Don't they ever have company? I mean, it must be awful. You know, Julie says that sister is kind of peculiar. Did you ever notice that?
