Penny
I’m very pleased and scared to be here.
Maybelle
Now, honey, we got more reason to be scared on your street.
Maybelle
[watching Edna walk in]
Boy, if we get any more white people in here, this is gonna be a suburb.
Maybelle
Miz Edna, is it? Hi, I mean, you don’t have to rush off, you know.
Edna
Well, I do. I left my iron on.
Maybelle
Oh, your iron? Well, before you go, are you sure you wouldn't like to have a little something to eat? [shows Edna the soul food spread on the table]
Edna
[after a long moment]
Is that braised?
Inez
[singing]
Seaweed’s got a girlfriend!
Seaweed
Shut up!
Inez
You.
Maybelle
[to Seaweed and Penny]
Oh, so this is love? [pauses, then smiles] Well, love is a gift; a lot of people don’t remember that. So you two better brace yourselves for a whole lotta ugly comin’ at you from a never-ending parade of stupid.
