"There's nothing to worry about." " Did you ever have to sweat the cops?" " No, but there was a woman here." " What woman?" " She said she was a friend of Pashen's." "I don't know if she was a cop or someone else, but she told the girls they were being ripped off, they were paying over on everything and the split was too small." "You get the girls to work." "I'll be there later, same as always." "And I'll crack the first one who panics." "Come on, come on, come on." "Let him in, then call the police." "Listen here, bitch." "Mr Dynamite." "Surprise!"

"Maybe 500 bills of leather on my body." "And being dug, I mean really dug, I swear it, I feel like I'm something else, something no $10 flat-back whore ever dreams of." "I'm something else, dig it?" "You can't touch it." "And when they touch you, how do you..." "how do you handle that?" " Hm?" " I can make it." "It's just getting past that one second." "Oh, yeah, sure." "Yeah, you can make it." "Ain't nothing to it, right?" "How would you know?" "How would you know anything?" "Listen, I had something bigger and worse to carry around than Willie." "I had something to feed in me makes Willie look like a gospel-singing angel." "My guts were on fire 24 hours a day." "I sold everything I owned, everyone I knew, loved, ever cared for." "I mean, there was nothing I wouldn't sell, nothing I wouldn't do for that." " Leave me alone." " Yeah, sure, I'll leave you alone." "I'll leave you all alone." "Say, you got a smoke?" "Oh, you ain't stuff, you're just a whore, like the rest of us in here." "(Cora) I'll leave the magazine." "Just in case you want something to read." " Willie!" " Hey." "You got trouble." "Aunt Emma is inside along with Uncle Ford." "Uh-oh, I got trouble." "(Clears his throat)" "Time to face the dinosaurs." "(I Organ music playing)" "Mama, Willie brought you something." "Well, say something, Emma." "Oh, it's a beauty!" "Mama, give Willie a kiss for it." "That boy don't need no kisses from me." "Well, aren't you gonna try it on, Mama?" "I'll try it on later." "Now, will you finish so we can all get to dinner?" "A man in Willie's position should be donating 10% of his incomes to the Church." "Charity is a commandment of the Lord." "What the Lord want with Willie's money?" "He got all those rich white folks to get to first." "You can't be neglecting the Church and be doing right." "Ambition can destroy a man." "Bear witness."
