Blanche makes an innuendo to Stanley that he will not tolerate..... she alludes to him as swine.

A cultivated woman, a woman of intelligence and breeding can enrich a man’s life – immeasurably! I have those things to offer, and this doesn’t take them away. Physical beauty is passing. A transitory possession. But beauty of the mind and richness of the spirit and tenderness of the heart – and I have all of those things. But I have been foolish - casting my pearls before swine!
