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!
