Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
[With excitment] Jermaine, personally wanted me to be there.Jermaine, himself Mrs. Garrett...

Edna Garrett:
[Cuts Tootie off, from her excitment for the Jermaine Jackson concert] Tootie, listen.

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
I have to be there at the box office, at 7:30 to pick up the tickets, we'll have terrific seats, Mrs. Garrett. Oh! what am I going, to wear? Oh, I know I'll wear my blue sweater, that's Jermaine's favorite color.

Edna Garrett:
Tootie, slow down. Why, you've forgotten about, the fair tonight?

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
What about it?

Edna Garrett:
This is, a big night for Jo. She's short handed, as it is. We've promised, we help.

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
Yeah but, that was before the phone call! That phone call, changes everything!

Edna Garrett:
I know, this is a disappointment for you but, believe me they'll be other concerts.

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
But, not like this one. Who knows, that I'll get to be a special guest again. Besides, it's an insult to Jermaine, if I don't go.

Edna Garrett:
I'm sure, he'll understand.

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
Mrs. Garrett, please, if you take me, I promise I'll never ask for anything, as long as I live.

Edna Garrett:
I'm sorry, Tootie. I really am but, we can't go. We'd made, a prior commitment.

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
[Raising her voice] I'm goin'!

Edna Garrett:
Tootie, you're not being reaonable

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
Mrs. Garrett, this concert, means everything to me. [With tears in her eyes] Why won't, you let me go? Don't you have, any feelings?

Edna Garrett:
[Solemly] Tootie.

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
[Yelling] Jermaine, wants me there tonight, and I'm gonna be there! If you don't take me, I'll fine someone else, or I'll take a bus, I'll hitchhike!

Edna Garrett:
Tootie, I said you're not going, to the concert tonight.

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
[Screaming with tears, welling out her eyes] I DON'T CARE, WHAT YOU SAY! I AM GOING! I AM GOING!

Edna Garrett:
[while Tootie, was becoming hyperventilated] Calm down. Calm Down.

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
[Crying] Mrs. Garrett, I have to be there, tonight. You have to, take me please. [falls into Mrs. Garrett's arms, and continues sobbing] Please, Mrs. Garrett, take me.

Edna Garrett:
[Consoling a despondent Tootie] It's all right, it's all right Tootie. [Tootie continues crying] It's all right, It's all right. [Gives In] We'll go.

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
[Still crying] Oh, Oh thank you! [continues sobbing]

Edna Garrett:
[Low voice] We'll go [Still consoling, a sobbing Tootie]

Edna Garrett:
We'll have to find, replacements for, Tootie and me.

Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek:
[Angrily] I don't believe it, I don't believe, you actually letting Tootie, to get away with this!

Blair Warner:
I didn't realize, all someone had to do, to get their way is, to throw a tantrum.

Natalie Green:
Me neither, I've got to work on my, kicking and screaming.

Edna Garrett:
This wasn't a tantrum, girls.

Blair Warner:
All I know, is that I turned down a fabulous date to be here,tonight. We all have, better offers, well...

Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek:
[Cuts Blair off] Don't, say it!

Blair Warner:
The point is, we promised we'd be here, and we're here.

Edna Garrett:
You're absolutely right, Blair. We all, committed ourselves, to this fair and, we all should honor it.

Natalie Green:
[Concerned] And, why are you, letting Tootie go to the concert?

Edna Garrett:
Because,I just don't know, what else to do.

Natalie Green:
You don't know, what to do?

[Sarcastically]

Natalie Green:
Mrs. "always a snappy answer" Garrett doesn't know, what to do?

Edna Garrett:
Girls, you didn't see her. She was, hysterical. Oh, she was gonna get to that concert, if she had to jump out of the window, and run all the way, to the city.

Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek:
Come on, Mrs. Garrett, not Tootie.

Edna Garrett:
That's right. Not, our Tootie. But right now, she's not our Tootie. She's become...

Blair Warner:
[Completes Mrs. Garrett's sentence about Tootie] Fanatic. Well, that's what the word fan, comes from. My mother, told me that, when I threaten to leave home for, King Hussein.

[chuckles and mumbles]

Natalie Green:
Mrs. Garrett, there is nothing wrong, with a little healthy idol worship. Didn't you ever freak over, anyone.

Edna Garrett:
Sure, I swooned over Frank Sinatra. But, this is something else. I remember, these films people crying and screaming, over The Beatles. They were all in such a... frenzy.It scared me. Well, that's the way I felt, just now, with Tootie

Blair Warner:
Do you think, taking Tootie to the concert's, gonna help?

Edna Garrett:
At this point, it's the only thing I can do.
