Funny Valentines (1999)

Loretta Devine: Dearie B.

Quotes 

• Dearie B. : [to Joyce]  Everyone always said you and I were like peanut butter and jelly.

• Dearie B. : Troy Watts! Bring your narrow a** outta there!

  Troy Watts : [Comes out chuckling]  I ain't nothing to say to you.

  [Turns to leave] 

  Dearie B. : You get back here, or else I'll come in after you!

  Troy Watts : What you want, retard?

  Dearie B. : You hurt me once, but you ain't gonna hurt me again! You stay away from my family!

  [Moving closer] 

  Dearie B. : You're nothing. You never were nothing, and you're never gonna be nothing, because you're empty in your heart! Now, it took me a long time to figure it out, but I know you tried to ruin my life when I was younger, but my life is BIGGER than YOU!

  Troy Watts : Don't you be loud-talking me because you too stupid to close your legs!

  Dearie B. : You were born to a minister. Ain't you figured out nothing yet! YOU'RE the real dummy! Like a dog gnawing on a bone with no teeth! You're godless! You stay AWAY from my family! You stay away from ME.

• Joyce May : Dearie , you know how you always said you wished we were sisters?

  Dearie B. : Mmm-hmm.

  Joyce May : Well, we are.

  Dearie B. : Uh-huh.

  Joyce May : No, we are! Blood sisters. I saw the birth certificate.

  Dearie B. : Oh, Joyce May, I know!

  Joyce May : How... how do you know?

  Dearie B. : Because I wished it!

  Joyce May : Dearie, it's not that simple.

  Dearie B. : Of course it is. You don't need a piece of paper to tell you what's already in your heart. Even I know that.
