Dialogue

edit
Georgey: [reading an article from an adult magazine] Dad, what's a rack?
Peter: It's a country.
Howie: I'd like to dip you in Cheez Wiz and spread you all over a Ritz cracker, if I'm not being too stuble.
Charlene: Boy, you some kind of freaky!
Howie: Oh, you have no idea. You got me straight trippin' boo!
Mrs. Kline: We have to brush your hair differently. You look like a fag.
Peter: I message for you. Howie says, "The cool points out the window and you got him all twisted up in the game."
Charlene: That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
Charlene: I kicked it off the heezy and bounced... for real, though!
Peter: What did you just say?
Ashley: [to Peter, about Charlene] What is she doing here?
Charlene: Oh. Get used to it, twiggy; you're going to be seeing a lot more of me around here!
Ashley: [to Peter, about Charlene] Not without a broom in your hand.
Charlene: If I HAVE a broom, it's only because I'm here to sweep up the white trash!
Ashley: Save it for the Y.M.C.A, Jemimah.
Charlene: Bitch! I will kick the bulimia out of your ass!
Mrs. Arness: [to Charlene] Oh, just one moment... you know, there's a lovely, sad, Negro spiritual...
[Sarah chokes on her food]
Mrs. Arness: Ivy's brother used to... uh, are you all right?
[Sarah nods weakly and takes a sip of her drink]
Mrs. Arness: Anyway, Ivy's brother used to sing this when he came in from the tobbaco fields...
[beings to sing]
Mrs. Arness: Mmmm... "Mama, is master going to sell us tomorrow? Yes, yes, yes! Mama, is master going to sell us tomorrow? Yes, yes, yes! Mama... is master going to sell ME to-mor-or-or-row..."
Howie: Do me a favor, precious: don't ever scare me like that again, or I'm going to give you a nasty spanking... if I'm not being too subtle!
Charlene: [smiles] He's such a damn freak!
Peter: Charlene, what is this particular taste? It's familiar, yet... what is it, some sort of an herb, like sage?
Charlene: Naw... it's more like a milk of mint.
Peter: Well, whatever it is, the taste is explosive!
Charlene: Well, good then! Enjoy!
Mike: (Charlene's hanging Mike by his feet off the top of a house after finding out he got rough with Sarah to have sex with her) Please don't kill me! Oh God! Pull me up!
Charlene: Yo Sarah! Mike has something he wants to say,
Charlene: Say sorry!
Mike: I'm sorry!
Charlene: Say sorry!
Mike: (louder) I'm sorry!
Charlene: Say no means no!
Mike: No means no!
(Ashley is beating up Charlene)
Ashley: Compliments of Tae-Bo: 2 hours a day 5 days a week.
(Charlene beats up Ashley then shoves her face in a toilet)
Charlene: Compliments of the hood: 24 hours a day all my life!
Charlene: Pretend I'm your wife. Talk dirty to me.
Peter: Um, okay... I wanna kiss you A LOT!
Charlene: No no no! Dirtier...
Peter: I wanna give you - an aromatherapy massage!
Charlene: Try harder!
Peter: I wanna have SEXUAL INTERCOURSE with you!
Charlene: I give up!
