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!
