Lorrell Robinson: [as Early is kissing her] That feels nice... I mean it feels funny! You're married, aren't you?::James 'Thunder' Early: Everybody knows Jimmy's married, baby.::Lorrell Robinson: Well, then, you get your married hands off!

Don't make it personal.::Effie Melody White: Well, what am I supposed to do? Deena's beautiful, and she's always been beautiful... but I've got the voice, Curtis! I've got the voice!
