Penny quotes from The Proud Family

Penny

[to LaCienega] So, are we girls again?

LaCienega

We never were.

Suga Mama

I don't know who that man was on the massage table, but it wasn't Papi. His feet have NEVER been that small.

Penny

Then you believe us?

Suga Mama

Of course. Now come on. I got the girls and Sticky down in the car. We're going to break Papi out!

Trudy

Penny, why aren't you dressed?

Penny

I don't think I can go to school. I don't feel too well. [coughs]

Hey hey now, Stay away from me. Whatever you got, I don't want to catch.

Trudy

You don't feel warm.

Penny

It's not really a fever. [moans] It's my stomach.

Suga Mama

Oh, I know what it was. Those nasty diversity snacks your daddy made.

I'd love to diverse you, Mama.

Suga Mama

Well, then diverse this. [she splashes Oscar with an orange juice]

Ow!

Suga Mama

Why don't you just give her some castor oil, Trudy? That'll clean her out.

Penny

No, Mama, please don't. I'm not that sick, Mama.

Trudy

Well, how sick are you?

Penny

Sick enough not to go to school for...I don't know,...about a week?

Trudy

Oh, I see. Penny Proud, are you trying to get out of the cultural exchange?

Penny

No, I would never do that. I'm just...Yes, ma'am.

Trudy

Penny, why?

Why? She's scared. And, quite frankly, so am I. We don't know anything about those people that they have her staying with.

Trudy

That's the point of the exchange, Oscar. And you, of all people, should know better. I know you weren't raised that way.

Suga Mama

Yes, he was. I would never let my children spend the night with people I didn't know.

Thank you, Mama.

Suga Mama

Not that anyone ever invited Oscar over.

Trudy

Well, Penny is my daughter and...

Excuse me, our daughter! [Trudy roars] I mean, your daughter.

Trudy

Look, Penny, I know you don't understand why you must do this, but I guarantee you, by the end of the week, it'll all be clear to you.

Penny

But, Mama

Trudy

No buts. You're going, and that's that. Now, go pack your things.

Penny

Yes, Mommy dearest.

Trudy

And you two ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

It's her fault. She raised me. [Suga Mama roars, he whimpers]

Penny

I wanna win this election fair and square.

Nubia

Fair? The last person who said fair was Al Gore.

Penny

I can't show that tape. It will hurt Wizzie's feelings.

Zoey

He's rich! He can buy new feelings!

[singing] LaCienega is the winn-ega!

Penny

[singing] But the contest-a was a-rigged-a!

Trudy

Penny!

Penny

What? You need me to iron Bebe and Cece's clothes?

Trudy

No, that can wait.

Penny

Daddy, do you know where a thesaurus is?

No, but I know where a dino-status is. We call it Suga Mama. Ha, ha!

Suga Mama

I heard that!

Tookie Thomas, come on down!

I want my mommy!

Penny

Michael, stop!

I would if I were Michael, but I'm not. Who's a sissy now?

I am, I am! I'm a sissy.

Penny

Look, I know he hurt you, Michael, but this is not the answer.

I'm just following your advice. I'm doing something about the way people treat me.

Penny

Yes, but I say to express your feelings, not hurt people. [Everyone gasp] Doing this doesn't make you any better than them.

But it makes me feel better.

Penny

Look, I know how you feel.

You don't know how I feel...how it hurts when people laugh at you, make you feel different like you're a freak of nature. You don't know how it feels to go home and cry because people you thought were your friends really aren't. You don't know how it feels to be ridiculed because you're you.

Well, I'll tell you Tookie. If being a sissy means you're a good student, a sensational designer, a fabulous basketball player, who schooled you on the court, a loyal, caring friend...then I'm cool with it, cause that's who I am.

And-and that's what I meant when I said it. No disrespect here.

Yeah Michael. I mean, I was just going along with everybody else. I'm sorry, man. I'm not mad at you. You're not mad at me, are you?

Nubia

Yeah, hey, Michael, I mean, you cool with the Gross Sisters. Anybody give you grief, we got your back. All right, everybody, break it up. It's over.

Hey, Michael, I like what you said, man. You got heart, dawg. And by the way, I like that jacket. Where can I get one?

Call me.

Zoey

Way to go, Michael.

Penny

So do you feel any better?

Yeah, I do. I feel great. I finally stood up for myself. You were right, Penny. That's all I had to do.

Penny

Exactly. Because it's not good to keep things bottled up inside.

Dijonay

Yeah, because you want to start Candy Man on us.

This next song goes out to my main man, Michael. Check it out, y'all. Check it out.

Hey, that's my song!

LaCienega

Michael, would you like to dance?

No, thank you. I'm here with Penny.

Penny

Go ahead. I don't mind.
