Hypocritical Heartwarming

Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicense - ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic'': Rose and Blanche rehearse “scene three” which consists of Blanche staring out window as Rose runs in screaming “the Nazis are coming! The Nazis are coming!” Obviously no such scene exists in ''The Sound of Music''.

When Sophia's brother Angelo, a priest, comes to visit, she makes Dorothy and Stan pretend that they are still married.

!!Tropes:
* CelebrityParadox: Blanche and Rose are cast as nuns in a production of ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic''. Rue [=McClanahan=] performed in a production of the same musical at New Hampshire's Hampton Playhouse over two decades earlier, in which she was cast as the Baroness (and just missed being crushed to death by a falling chandelier during one performance).
* NunTooHoly: Blanche and Rose, dressed in nuns' habits after rehearsals for ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic'', end up having to pretend they really ''are'' nuns. Needless to say, Blanche doesn't quite pull that off...
---> '''Blanche:''' ''[carrying her normal clothes in her arms]'' We're here collecting, uh, lingerie... for needy sexy people.
* TraumaButton: PlayedForLaughs when Rose and Blanche are rehearsing their roles as nuns in ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic''. Rose says, "The Nazis are coming! The Nazis are coming!" and Sophia bursts through the door in a panic telling everyone to hide in the basement.
* VerbalBackspace: Blanche has one after Stan announces the airports are closed and everyone has to stay in place due to an impending hurricane:
-->'''Dorothy:''' That means we could be trapped together for days!
-->'''Blanche:''' Oh ''Jesus''! (''realizes she's still wearing her nun costume'') Please protect us and and watch over us in this, our hour of need!
