There wasn’t no wire at all!… There isn’t no millionaire! And Mitch didn’t come back with roses ’cause I know where he is.
– Tennessee Williams

He dismantles her story about receiving a telegram from Texas oil millionaire Shep Huntleigh. He also reveals that he is aware his friend Mitch did not come back to bring her roses and beg for forgiveness, as Blanche claimed.
