Noxeema
- Noxeema Jackson: When a straight man puts on a dress and gets his sexual kicks, he is a transvestite. When a man is a woman trapped in a man's body and has a little operation he is a Transsexual.
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: I know that.
- Noxeema Jackson: When a gay man has way too much fashion sense for one gender he is a drag queen.
- Vida Boheme: Thank you.
- Noxeema Jackson: And when a tired little Latin boy puts on a dress, he is simply a boy in a dress!
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: [as Vida beats up Virgil] There's something you need to know about Vida... She...
- Noxeema Jackson: [quickly] Vida works out. Yeah, Vida works out.
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: A lot!
- Noxeema Jackson: Little latin boy in drag, why are you crying?
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: It's just cause the two of you are so pretty, you know. You're so pretty.
- Vida Boheme: Yes, of course we're pretty, but why are you crying?
- Noxeema Jackson: Maybe she just found out Menudo broke up.
- Vida Boheme: Since you have obviously learned nothing, I am hereby stripping you of all your princess points.
- [exaggerated ripping up and throwing away motions]
- Noxeema Jackson: Oooooh! That's voodoo.
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: How do I look?
- Noxeema Jackson: Like the Miami Sound Machine just exploded all over you!
- Noxeema Jackson: [to Clara] Ms. Vida seems to think that I don't have a dream. Well, honey, I'm not Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan. You know I'm gonna tell you what it is, because instinctively I knew I could trust you, being as you're not a big talker and everything. My plan is that while in Hollywood I will be approached by an imminent producer, at The Ivy no doubt, to star in the lush film version of the Life of Ms. Dorothy Dandridge. Yes that noble blacktress, who never played domestic help. And then who's career was crushed by the white Hollywood machine.
- Tommy: Baby, you are a whole lot of woman... and I know what you need.
- Noxeema Jackson: I hardly think you're the man to give it to me.
- Vida Boheme: I feel like Miss Jayne Mansfield in this car.
- Noxeema Jackson: Oooh, Jayne Mansfield. Not a good auto reference.
- Noxeema Jackson: That might be all fine and dandy but still have a lot more to learn before you become a full fledged Queen, my dear.
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: Can't I just stay a princess they're so much younger than Queens
- [laughs]
- Noxeema Jackson: Does everything have to be a joke with you, this is not a masquerade! This is real life! There are steps to becoming a Queen.
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: I'm sorry. How many?
- Noxeema Jackson: Four! There are four steps to becoming a Drag Queen.
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: Don't be stingy tell me what are they!
- Vida Boheme: Patience mon cheri. You will know when you've done them. Noxeema our Dutchess of Protocol will inform you.
- Noxeema Jackson: [laughs sarcastically] That's right just sit back. Auntie Vida's gonna make you a big ol'queen don't you worry.
- [after Billy Ray comes to ask a girl out]
- Vida Boheme: I declare.
- Bobby Lee: I declare.
- Carol Ann: *I* declare.
- Noxeema Jackson: I decline.
- John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt: Oh, my God, I'm like a compass near north.
- Noxeema Jackson: Thank you.
- Noxeema Jackson: Why do I feel like I'm in the Tournament of Roses Parade?
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: Because you're as big as a float.
- Noxeema Jackson: Your mother.
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: Thank you.
- Vida Boheme: [to Noxeema] You know, pumpkins?
- Noxeema Jackson: What?
- Vida Boheme: Sometimes it just takes a fairy.
- Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: I think maybe he's prejudice-said.
- Noxeema Jackson: I'll bet you were the brightest in your class, weren't you?
- Noxeema Jackson: You know, Vida, you were absolutely right.
- Vida Boheme: About what?
- Noxeema Jackson: I mean, now I realize that... you gotta take chances. Because you never know, you know what I mean? I mean, what the hell! I'm not gonna worry about if people accept me or not. I'm gonna make Hollywood wherever I am at.
- Vida Boheme: I would like...
- Noxeema Jackson: Stand up, Vida.
- Beatrice: This is my Aunt Martha's dress. I thought you could use it. She was real big on the shoulders.
- Noxeema Jackson: Thank you, girl.
- Vida Boheme: Oh, sweet pea. Now, you listen to your Auntie Vida. I want you to believe in yourself, imagine good things and moisturize, I cannot stress this enough.
- Clara: Miss Noxeema.
- Noxeema Jackson: Miss Clara.
- Clara: Now, listen, when you get to Hollywood, you give this letter to Mr. Robert Mitchum.
- Noxeema Jackson: Oh, I will, I will, I promise you. I'll guard it with my life. Thank you. I'm gonna miss you.
- Clara: I'm gonna miss you, too.
- Noxeema Jackson: Good bye.
- Clara: Bye.
- Noxeema Jackson: I hope she leaves me those albums in her will. Alright, let's see. Can I hear it?
- Tommy: Good afternoon.
- Noxeema Jackson: Sounds wonderful. And look at the shirt, the shirt is fierce, and the hair is working. Get along now. You take care. Be good to yourself.
