How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Quote #4
EDDIE: Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n roll.
Eddie's song is a throwback to a fifties-style rock 'n' roll that is outdated and old-fashioned to the other characters in the movie. Continuing our analysis from the previous quote, it is also how Frank feels about love: it is outdated and old-fashioned.
Quote #5
COLUMBIA: Everybody shoved him. I very nearly loved him.
Columbia's adverbs here are quite important. In the next quote, she'll tell Frank that she loved him. But Eddie? She "very nearly" loved him. What was stopping her from flat-out using the L-word?
Quote #6
COLUMBIA: My God! I can't stand any more of this! First you spurn me for Eddie, and then you throw him off like an old overcoat for Rocky! You chew people up and then you spit them out again. I loved you. Do you hear me? I loved you! And what did it get me? Yeah, I'll tell you: a big nothing. You're like a sponge. You take, take, take, and drain others of their love and emotion. Yeah, well, I've had enough. You're gonna choose between me and Rocky, so named because of the rocks in his head.
Columbia is fed up with the way Frank treats people who love him, and she delivers one of the longest monologues in the movie. It's surprising, considering what a minor character she is. And Frank does what you'd expect him to do: he turns her to stone and shuts her up.
