Graffiti Bridge

Morris Day:
If you want something done right, hire good people to do it for you!

The Kid:
[after singing a fake fanfare when Morris arrives at the club] The King has arrived! [everyone laughs]

Melody Cool:
Tevin! Put that money down!

Tevin Campbell:
But Mom, there's a couple of 20's in here!

Melody Cool:
Oh! Then pick it up! Pick it all up!

Melody Cool:
Let me give you a piece of good advice, & I do get paid for counseling!

[first lines]

The Kid:
Are there really angels, or are they just in our minds? It all comes out in the wash... in time.

Aura:
You can't fight fire with fire. When a man screams, you must learn to whisper.

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! Sh*t, 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!

Levi Seacer, Jr. (Kid's Band):
[as the Time sings "Release It", entertaining the Glam Slam's crowd and outperforming the Kid's band] Damn, this is embarrassing!

Miko Weaver (Kid's Band):
Man, they're doggin' us at our own club!

T.C.:
I told you, Kid, you shoulda let me rap!

Levi Seacer, Jr. (Kid's Band):
Damn, this is embarrassing!

Aura:
It's just around the corner.

Morris Day:
Name?

Aura:
Aura.

Morris Day:
Mmm... Lovely! Where'd you get that ass?

Aura:
Same place you got your manners.

Morris Day:
Jerome... where'd I get my manners?

Jerome:
Same place she got that ass.

Morris Day:
And where was that?

Jerome:
Mama.

Morris Day:
That's right, baby. Yo' mama!

Aura:
Seven corners, two souls fight. One wants money, one wants light. Without peace, without love, nothing's ever gonna turn out right.

[last lines]

Robin:
Morris... turn out the lights.

Morris Day:
You know, this plant looks kinda... thirsty.

Morris Day:
[singing] A, B, C, D, E, F, G... H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O...

Morris Day:
[unzips his pants and urinates on the plant] P!

Robin:
So what's up with you and this half-and-half b*tch? Am I number one, or number two? Tell me now, 'cause I really don't have time for this sh*t!

Morris Day:
You better put some treble on that tone, or you're gonna be pullin' some Stacy Adams out yo' ass!

The Kid:
[pursuing Morris, Jerome and Aura] Pull over, boy!

Jerome:
Man, look! The fool's following us! Rat patrol!

Aura:
Have you ever been to Morris' club? It's really nice.

The Kid:
On the outside, it's really nice. It's the inside I got a problem with.

The Kid:
Maybe what I need is a sign. A green light that says, "It's okay. It's okay to continue. Somebody's up there listening." But it' hard to see green... [paints a green streak on his wall]... when there's so much blue. [paints a blue streak over the green]

Aura:
[Kid sits next to Aura with a heart-shaped notepad, draws a Hangman's noose and four spaces] A.

The Kid:
[smiles and shakes his head, draws a circle for a head]

Aura:
B.

The Kid:
[draws a stick for a torso]

Aura:
C.

The Kid:
[draws two legs]

Aura:
D.

The Kid:
[draws two arms, a smile on the head, and fills in the four spaces with the letters M-I-N-E. Points to Aura, then points to the word "mine"]

Aura:
No, baby... [slowly raises her arm and points to the sky]... His.

Morris Day:
[after the Kid and his band perform "tick, tick, bang" in front of the Pandemonium] Whoever battles me... you better bring an army!

The Time:
Better bring an army, sho'nuff! [laughing all the way back into the Pandemonium]

Melody Cool:
Let me give you two a piece of good advice, and I do get paid for counseling!

Monte Moir:
Just sign over the club, Melody, or we'll wreck it, too.

Melody Cool:
Who are you, running around telling people what to do? You know, I've been laying low respecting Billy's dying wishes. But when you start bogarting me and George? You messin' with the food on our dishes!

Jesse Johnson:
Ain't that a shame?

Morris Day:
[to the Kid, rosponding to his challenge] You can't battle me, son. You still wet behind the ears!

Jimmy Jam (The Time):
Wet behind the ears!

Jellybean Johnson (The Time):
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!

Morris Day:
[to a drunken Aura, before the take her for a ride] Sexiness to the left of you...

Jerome:
Sexiness to the right!

Morris Day:
It's all about the pimp sandwich tonight! [Morris and Jerome cackle]
