• Niki : We're not going back, are we?

  Wanda : No. No, Niki. I made you a promise. I'm not going to be around drugs anymore. No, ma'am. Unh-Unh. Not in this life. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to start my writing again. That's what I'm going to do. I can get some of my poetry together... You know how in the back of Essence they have the poetry, and sisters sending in their stuff from all over the country? I could get my stuff in the back of Essence. Hey, but I will not stop working on my life story, cause that's the bestseller. Writers, you know, good writers have to go through a whole lot of stuff. I've been through it. I just have to write it down...

• Holiday Heart : Oh, I thought I heard somebody. I just wanted to know how the talent contest went.

  Wanda : Hi, Holiday.

  Holiday Heart : Hey, Wanda. Oh, Niki, you have a friend.

  Niki : Yeah, this is my new cousin.

  Sarah : I'm Silas's niece. Are you wearing makeup? Are you the fag?

• Niki : [notices Holiday's piano]  See, Mama. Look, it ain't portable.

  Wanda : Isn't portable. I'm trying to get her to use correct grammar.

  Holiday Heart : Oh, that's very nice. Well, I hope I say this with correct grammar, but Sister Girl, this food sure don't look appetizing.

  Wanda : It's all beige, isn't it?

  Holiday Heart : Well, let's just put it this way. Holiday can burn, so let's say from here on out I do all the cooking, okay?

  [hands over plate] 

  Holiday Heart : What is it anyway?

  Wanda : I don't know.

• Wanda : Honey, I was up and down Michigan Avenue picking up this and that for you, Niki!

  [hands over gift] 

  Niki : So this one has money. Yippee. So, when does he move in, or do we go shack up with him? Or does he even have a shack? Maybe he just lives and deals in his limo. So you don't even have to go anywhere to cop. You can just go in his briefcase and grab, what you call, your little glass trick.

  Wanda : [angrily slaps Niki]  Oh, NIKI!

  [storms away] 

• Niki : So, are you and me gonna march in the gay parade?

  Holiday Heart : Oh no baby. I'm from the old school. I marched with King - I ain't about to start marching with the queens.
