FAVORITE LINE FROM SPARKLE??? - Sparkle (1976) Discussion

[–] slanoue 18 years ago

I like Dolores' big speech to her mama that starts with,

"Like, there's education like there never was before. Mama, we don't have to be slaves to the white establishment anymore. We don't have to live off what the white man throws our way. Thankin' him for his *beep* pay and his *beep* jobs..."

It's so very 1970's...

As a mother, my favorite line is delivered to Sister from her mother, "I've lived in Harlem all my life; I know a rat when I see one."

When Sister and Levi are in his "car" and he says its the beginning of their story and she chuckles and says "Shortest story known to mankind."

cerelle81 just so that you know, Satin was the one who said,"I want you to crawl for me" NOT Stix. Stix was Sparkle's man. Satin said that line to Sister. Oh my favorite line would be,"Feels so good must be a sin".
