Quotations

The seats are like butter!

We were so poor my parents married for the rice.

I'm a princess! P to the R to the N to the cess!

Cause you're as big as a float.

When Noxema asks 'Why do I feel like I'm in the Tournament of Roses Parade?'

I didn’t ask to come on this trip, did I? No, I don’t think so! Did I ask for you to be making me over, jump through all kinds of hoops like some kind of circus poodle? No, I don’t think so! And do I want to go to jail because of some cop killer? No, I don’t think so! So as soon as we get to the next town, I’m jumping on the first man and I’m riding him all the way to New York City and away from you two puckered up stuck up putas because this trip sucks! It sucks!

Vida, you know, you're not a queen because you rule people, or you sit on a throne, baby. You're a queen because you couldn't cut it as a man so you had to put on a dress, that's why.

I decly ! ( I declare! )

I love rough necks, tell me if I was your bread would you be my butter.

Uptight cellulite dinosaur fossil face white honky cracker witch!

lord grant me the serenity to accept that im am im just a boy in a dress and the courage to change with the fashions and the wisdom to know the difference
