I'd say Pink Flamingos is more nasty, but this has its share of perversions, funny scenes and dialogue. Just remember: This is in black and white, and looks a bit more crude than the later made Pink Flamingos.

Worse than pink flamingos. Scenes of blasphemy. If you like John Waters, you will probably get into it.

All I can say is, its my favorite. The dialogue is off the hook. I think its his best earlier work.

You can't go on blaming yourself forever. Just blame yourself once, then move on.

There were so many laugh out loud moments, such as when Divine finds out about David's dalliance with Bonnie, she slams down the phone, screams THAT BASTARD, and tries unsuccessfully to keep her cool announcing to Cookie, "oh, MOTHER'S GOING OUT FOR A WHILE", looking like she'd love to rip someone's head off. It's too hilarious.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.

...Oh and some cheese, anything you like. Just go ahead and fix yourself a sandwich.

David: Why isn't she in school?
Divine: Because I told her to quit and she did.

DIVINE: Oh YES officer YES! Arrest my boyfriend. He did something horrible to one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.

I loved that shot of Divine on the staircase when she was screaming that and laughing manicacally. The lighting was fantastic.
