Quotes6

  • Leggy Peggy: Honey, now, that ain't nothing for you to be ashamed of. Them politicians you be hanging out with in Washington be getting into their pleasures a whole lot worser ways than that. Right, brothers?
  • Leggy Peggy: I get so *tired* of going to them corny dances, corny dinners we keep getting invited to. You know, the one where you be the token one and everybody standing around looking at you like you something in the zoo. Well, I got tired!
  • Congressman Lincoln: How can one work for the good of one's people if one's wife continually airs in public one's dirty laundry?
  • Leggy Peggy: The phrase is "putting one's business in the street."
  • Leggy Peggy: Damn near blew my mind. This nigger's something else, honey.
  • Leggy Peggy: If y'all can't stand the heat, get outta the kitchen. Harry S. Truman, December 17, 1952.
  • Wardell Franklin: That's right. I was in the kitchen when he said it.
  • Congressman Lincoln: Peg, dear, must you always speak dialect? It's so condescending. We must rid ourselves of these linguistic shackles.
  • Leggy Peggy: Honey, hush. You alls have got to forgive my husband. I love his sweet seIf to death but ever since he got hisself a little bit of position, he thinks he's into something. There was a time when he still liked fried chicken!
