[–] YouToober 18 years ago

Hmmmm, my favorite line?

Well there are quite a few in this movie that I really like. But the one that comes to mind now:

The scene at the gorilla cage, where "Pooter" gets hit with gorilla feces.

Preach says: "He smells better now than he ever did".

The scene where Pooter flashes the toy badge at Preech and says,"You're under arrest for being ugly".

At the quarter party, after the fight breaks out, Preacher is finally alone with Dorothy. He recites poetry to her.

Were I Pygmalion or God...

I would make you
exactly as you are...

in every dimension.

From your warm hair
to your intimate toes...

would you be wholly
in your own image.

I would change nothing...

add or take away.

No! It wasn't Dorothy (Lynn Caridine), it was Brenda (Cynthia Davis).

That's my favorite line too.

Another is when the guys are talking to the girl outside of Martha's about test taking and she says: "You Know you Failin.'"

"Pooter, will you get the hell off the breakfront! My mama said not to lean on the breakfront because she ain't paid for it yet!"

reply

[–] truhorrorfan1 16 years ago

Most of the lines I would've said were already posted like:

Dorothy: You don't have to worry either, you know u failin!
Preach: Dorothy all I know...is that ya mama's a hoe!
Hilarious

But here's one I didn't see on the thread:

When Preach & Cochise first get in the stolen car with Stone & Robert. Stone tells them they have to watch out for the cops which Preach then tells him not to run any lights...Cochise interrupts with, "Uhh, can I have some herb...yes herb...Herb was the herb!" Tooo funny

PEACE & BLESSINGS

Haha, I always laugh when she says that.

I'm shocked,shocked that nobody's mentioned the classic line: "For the bruthas who ain't here..."

Another favorite, when Dorothy won't let Stone and Robert into her quarter-party, and one of them says "Aw, mamma, that sho' is cold--and I thought we was tight!"

Yeah, they're dead, they're--all messed up.
