      ADD QUOTES
      • Sybil: Buy you a cup of coffee, Mr. Reeves? Reeves: Only if you promise to stop calling me "Mr. Reeves." A simple "massa" will do. Edit
      • Reeves: First of all, I want to apologize. Reese: For? Reeves: For some things I'm about to say that I don't think either of you are gonna like. Darlene: Things like what? Reeves: (to Darlene) Like, I don't think you're pregnant. Reese What's that supposed to mean? Reeves: Read my lips...I don't think she's pregnant! Darlene: Why would I lie about something like that? Reeves: Because you're scared to death of losing Milton. Reese: She knows better than that! Reeves: I wonder. In some ways, you know, she's smarter than you, Milton. She knows, for example, you could've gotten a basketball scholarship probably to a school out of state. She also knows that with a four-year college education under your belt, you probably weren't coming back here. She's afraid that meant you weren't coming back for her, either. (to Darlene) How am I doing so far? Darlene: Come on, Milton, let's get out of here! Reeves: I don't mean you did it maliciously. I think you really love Milton. You were just afraid of what your life would be like without him. Darlene: That's a lie! Reeves: I think you've seen it happen to a lot of girls and you're gonna make damn sure it doesn't happen to you. Reese: Just shut up! What's with you, man? First you say marry her, then you say wait. You're just trying to poison us! Reeves: (to Darlene) Take a pregnancy test. Darlene: I did already! Reeves: Who's the doctor? Where are the test results? Darlene: None of your business! Reeves: You afraid? Reese: Look, if she takes it, will you leave us alone? Reeves: Absolutely. Darlene: No, Milton! I won't do it! Reese: Why not? Look, Darlene, I'm gonna jam this down his throat once and for all! Reeves: She won't take the test because she knows it'll come out negative! (Darlene pauses, knowing she's been found out. Reese is shocked.) Reeves: How could you have signed up for next semester's cheerleading squad if you knew you were gonna be six months pregnant? Reese: DARLENE! Edit
