Music is the power, love is the message, truth is the answer
The Kid
[first lines] Are there really angels, or are they just in our minds? It all comes out in the wash... in time.
[after making his fake fanfare as Morris Day shows up] The King has arrived.
Dialogue
Morris Day: People tell me you been making that spiritual noise again. I can't make no money that way.
The Kid: If you gave it a chance, one day you would.
Morris Day: I do believe, in Billy's will, he left half this club to you and the other half to me. I do believe I have a say in what music is played here.
The Kid: No one man will be a ruler.
Morris Day: Your shit ain't hittin' no more! Why don't you just give me the keys? [turns to Grace] Grace, you better wake up! This music will never change anybody! Are you listening to me?! [frustrated at Grace's unresponsive state, Morris leaves in disgust]
Morris Day: Jerome... Please tell this woman her account's overdrawn at my bank.
Jerome: Robin, stop asking for so much money!
Robin: Stop asking for money? Boy, I own a part of this joint! If it weren't for my daddy's money, y'all niggas would still be shootin' dice down at the Glam Slam! Shit, you've got some nerve talkin'...
Morris Day: Robin... Honey... Sweetheart... Baby, please! You see this? [turns and aims his rear end to Robin, patting it twice] Take a week off and kiss it all!
Morris Day: [to the Kid, rosponding to his challenge] You can't battle me, son. You still wet behind the ears!
Jimmy Jam: Wet behind the ears!
Jellybean Johnson: Psyche!
Morris Day: You still got the price tag on ya.
The Time: Yount!
Morris Day: Don't you know who I am?
The Time: Yount, yount!
Morris Day: I wrote the book!
The Time: Yount, yount, yount!
Morris Day:: I cook young brothers like you and... [spits] ...spit out the seeds!
The Time: [a member stomps the floor] Mmm!
Morris Day: I don't need you; I'm the one YOU need.
The Time: YOU need!
Morris Day: I took you in... when you was down and out!
The Time: Down and out!
Morris Day: I gave you money...
The Time: Mmm?
Morris Day: Money!
The Time: Mmm!
Morris Day: And now you think YOU got clout? You can't battle me, baby! I'll kick yo' little ass and have you runnin' home to mama, good-and-plenty fast!
