Addie Loggins:
I want my two hundred dollars.
Moses Pray:
I don't have your two hundred dollars no more and you know it.
Addie Loggins:
If you don't give me my two hundred dollars I'm gonna tell a policeman how you got it and he'll make you give it to me because it's mine.
Moses Pray:
But I don't have it!
Addie Loggins:
Then get it!
Cafe Waitress:
[
walks over after Moses slams his fist on the table] How we doin', Angel Pie? We gonna have a little dessert when we finish up our hot dog?
Addie Loggins:
I don't know.
Cafe Waitress:
What do you say, Daddy? Why don't we give Precious a little dessert if she eats her dog?
Moses Pray:
Her name ain't Precious.
Moses Pray:
[
calling up to Addie on the hill] Let's go!
Trixie Delight:
Hurry up, Doctor. This baby gots to go winky tinky!
Moses Pray:
[
patting Trixie's shoulder] Don't worry.
[
calling up to Addie again]
Moses Pray:
Hey!
[
Moses starts walking up the hill]
Moses Pray:
Come on, we're ready! Come on, now!
Addie Loggins:
I ain't comin'!
Moses Pray:
You listen here, child...
Addie Loggins:
No, I won't listen here.
Moses Pray:
What the heck's up with you then?
Addie Loggins:
I wanna sit in front! And how come we ain't workin' no more?
Moses Pray:
'Cause we're on vacation, that's why, and Miss Delight and me are sittin' in front because we are two grown-ups and that's where grown-ups do the sittin'! And little children do not tell grown-ups what to do with their lives, you understand that?
Addie Loggins:
Well, she ain't my grown-up and I ain't plannin' no more to sit in the back. Not for no cow!
Moses Pray:
Will you keep your voice down? And Miss Delight ain't no cow. She's a proper woman. She has a high school diploma. And right now she's got to go to the bathroom, so you get on down to the car!
Addie Loggins:
She always has to go to the bathroom! She must have a bladder the size of a peanut! Well, I ain't gettin' back in that car... not until she gets out of it!
[
disgusted, Moses goes back to the car and talks to Trixie]
Trixie Delight:
[
making her way up the hill] Hey, what's up, kiddo? Daddy says you're wearin' a sad face. Ain't good to have a sad face. Hey! Hey! How'd you like a coloring book? Would you like that? You like Mickey the Mouse?
[
Trixie trips and falls]
Trixie Delight:
Oh, son of a bitch!
Addie Loggins:
[
about the Harem Slave show at carnival] How many times you gonna see it?
Moses Pray:
As many times as I like, that's how many times!
Addie Loggins:
You've seen it half a dozen already.
Moses Pray:
And I might see it half a dozen more! Now why don't you go play bingo or somethin'?
Addie Loggins:
I don't wanna play bingo!
Moses Pray:
Then why don't you go write another love note to Saint Roosevelt?
Addie Loggins:
Maybe I will!
Moses Pray:
And stop standing around here checking on me! You don't have to worry. I ain't about to leave some poor little child stranded in the middle of nowhere. I've got scruples too, ya know. You know what that is... scruples?
Addie Loggins:
No, I don't know what it is but if you've got 'em, it's a sure bet they belong to somebody else!
[
Addie stalks off]
Moses Pray:
[
calling after Addie about President Roosevelt] And his name ain't Frank, it's Franklin!
Trixie Delight:
I just don't understand it, Daddy, but this little baby has got to go winky tinky all the time.
Moses Pray:
Well, don't you worry none. We'll just plan on stoppin' here for dinner.
Addie Loggins:
[
furious] But we just stopped for her to winky tink at lunch!
Moses Pray:
That's right and now we're stoppin' for dinner. Come on!
Addie Loggins:
I ain't hungry!
Moses Pray:
I got scruples too, you know. You know what that is? Scruples?
Addie Loggins:
No, I don't know what it is, but if you got 'em, it's a sure bet they belong to somebody else!
Addie Loggins:
I need to go to the shithouse.
Addie Loggins:
[
about Trixie Delight] She always has to go to the bathroom. She must have a bladder the size of a peanut.
Moses Pray:
I want one child's price ticket.
Station Master:
That will be $11.45.
Moses Pray:
I want you to send this here telegram to Miss Billie Roy Griggs of Cosmo Road, St. Joseph: "Train arriving 9:52 AM and bringing love, affection, and $20 cash." Oh, make that "$25 cash", and sign it just "Addie Loggins".
Station Master:
10 words, that will be eighty-five cents more, that will be $12 and 30.
Moses Pray:
$12 and 30, huh? You better say in that message there "Love, affection, and $20 cash."
[
about Trixie Delight]
Addie Loggins:
How come she had to leave that job back there?
Imogene:
Cause the boss-man tried to make her put out for his friends, and she don't believe in puttin' out for free!
Addie Loggins:
She put out much?
Imogene:
Just like a gum machine. You drop some in and she'll put some out.
Addie Loggins:
Imogene, what do you suppose Miss Trixie'd do if somebody offered her $25 to put out.
Imogene:
Ooo Wee! You crazy? For that much money, that woman'd drop her pants down in the middle of the road!
Imogene:
[
of Miss Trixie] I tried to push her out of a window in Little Rock once.
Moses Pray:
I know a woman who looks like a bullfrog but that don't mean she's the damn thing's mother.
Moses Pray:
I told you, I don't want you ridin' with me no more.
Addie Loggins:
You still owe me two hundred dollars.
