Bebe quotes from The PJs

Muriel

Bebe, remember that big blizzard back when we were kids? We were stuck at home for two weeks.

Bebe

Uh-huh. I was so pissed 'cause I couldn't see my boyfriend. Funny, it seemed so important then; today, heh, I can't even remember what subject he taught.

Sanchez

This is ridiculous. Why can't we get our mail like everybody else?

Haiti Lady

Yeah!

Jimmy

And I was expecting some very important fifth and final notices. Now, HOW am I supposed to pay my phone bill UNLESS I get my FIFTH AND FINAL NOTICE?!

Thurgood

Oh, stop your damn complainin'. Bebe got her colored contacts, didn't she?

Bebe

Yeah, but they all busted and mangled! I see twelve of everythang!

Thurgood

Well, now you know how it feels to look fly.

Thurgood

Now let's hear from those who have achieved their dreams. [someone coughs] What, am I the only one?

Muriel

Well, I used to sort of have a little dream. I thought it would be fun to be a hairdresser.

Bebe

Hairdresser, nothin'! You used to say you wanted to have a beauty parlor, just like the one our mama went to!

Muriel

Bebe, I think I can tell this.

Bebe

Oh, I'm sorry, girl. Go ahead on. Go ahead.

Muriel

Well, anyway, Mama--

Bebe

Not just Mama! We liked goin' there, too! 'Cause it was a place where all the women would gather and tell stories and gossip! Of course, now, Mama was the worst! She'd talk and talk and talk, and nobody could get a word in edgewise. Ha. Remember that?

Muriel

You sure it was Mama?

Bebe

She was all the way live. Come to think of it, havin' a beauty parlor was my dream, too.

Thurgood

[setting up the poster for the 8th Annual HUD Ball] HUD's balls really swing, though last year's ball got pretty hairy. What with the heat wave, that was one sweaty ball. [chuckles] I'm funny when I'm alone. [looks at the poster] "Can you beat our reigning king and queen of the dance contest?" [looks at the image of Jimmy and Bebe] Hmm. Look at 'em. King Loser the XIV and Queen Laqueefa.

Jimmy

[clears throat] Big talk comin' from a guy who won't even enter. You're the king of excuses.

Bebe

Thurgood'll say anythang to get outta that contest. What was it last year, baby? He ate a hamburger and got Sheila E. coli.
