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".

reply

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

reply

All i know, is yo momma's a hoe.

reply

Yea, that was a good one!

MIPeace!

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).

POOTER WHEN PREACH GETS MADE AT TYRONE FOR GOING THROUGH HIS NOTEBOOK
"WHY DON'T YOU HIT HIM WITH YOUR THROBBING MANHOOD"

reply

"what the hell you want here honky? there's no Louise live here honky."

when pooter says not to talk to the gorilla that way, cochese says *beep* crazy man -here take this u big black ugly gorilla"

"if i ain't going ain't nobody going"


when they plan to cheat on the test"to make it wrong?or it's already wrong?"

"mama says we supposed to have stew" "girl get outta my face!"

reply

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.'"

reply

That was a good line! "All I know, is that yo' mama's a Ho!!!"

MIPeace!

reply

"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

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

reply

Haha, I always laugh when she says that.

reply


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.

reply

Why don't you hit him with your throbbing manhood, was the funniest.

When You Know Better, You'll Do Better.

reply

"say whiplash, dummy"
or something like that...lol!

reply

I like when the fight breaks out,pooter wants preach's help,preach looks out the door & says"I ain't going out there"

mr. mason asks preach what's he want,his reply"I wanna live forever" the look mr. mason gives him.lol. got him off preaches back too.
