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.

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