Designing Women Quote
[An old "friend"/client of Julia's overhears their plans to decorate an AIDS funeral room.]
imogene Salinger: Is this the boy whose funeral you're planning?
Julia: Where did you hear that?
Imogene: I heard the rumors, but I didn't actually believe it was true! Now I don't like to hurt anyone's feelings, but if these boys hadn't been doing what they were doing, they wouldn't be getting what's coming to them now.
Mary Jo: Imogene, gays aren't the only ones getting it.
Imogene: No, but they're the ones who started it.
Kendall Dobbs: Actually nobody knows how it got started. Gays are just one of the first groups it showed up in.
Imogene: Yes, and for a good reason... you reap what you sow. You boys brought this on yourselves. As far as I'm concerned this disease has one thing going for it... it's killing all the right people!
Julia: Imogene, I'm terribly sorry. I'm gonna have to ask you to move your car.
Imogene: Why?
Julia: (pulling her towards the door) Because you're leaving. The only thing worse than all these people who never had any morals before AIDS are all you holier-than-thou types who think you're exempt from getting it.
Imogene: Well, for your information, I am exempt. I haven't lived like these people, and I don't care what you say, Julia Sugarbaker, I believe this is God's punishment for what they've done.
Suzanne: Oh yeah? Then how come lesbians get it less?
Imogene: That is not for me to say... I just know that these people are getting what they deserve!
Julia: Imogene, get serious! Who do you think you're talking to? I've known you for 27 years, and all I can say is... if God was giving out sexually transmitted diseases to people as a punishment for sinning, that you would be at the free clinic all the time! ... and so would the rest of us!
