Quotes 

• Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Natalie, I got some good news. You know how you always said you wanted a kitten?

  Natalie Green : Yeah.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Well there's this lady at the drugstore who has a kitten and she wants to get rid of it.

  Natalie Green : Tootie, last time Mrs. Garrett was near a cat, her skin broke out, her eyes swelled up and her nose almost fell off.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : It's all in her head, believe me.

• Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Nat, I've got it all figured out. If we eat dinner really fast, we can catch the 6:30 show at the movies.

  Natalie Green : Tootie, we can't eat that fast.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : We can if we don't chew.

  Natalie Green : I don't think so, I've got to study tonight.

  Natalie Green : Nope, A *pluses*.

• Edna Garrett : You know, a few weeks after my father died, some friends took me to the movies to see 'Some Like it Hot'. I laughed for 2 hours, and then I went home and cried for 2 days. I missed my dad so much. How could I have had such a good time?

  Natalie Green : I know what you mean.

  Edna Garrett : But then I realized, I wasn't forgetting my dad when I was having a good time. I was letting go of some of the pain of losing him. Natalie, it's okay, that's how we get on with our lives.
