Jennie Mae: Did you sneak out the house?

Darlene: (Innocent) I'm just lookin for trouble.

Jennie Mae: At this time a night?

Darlene: It's the best time I know to find trouble. I seen the preacher man standin out here on the porch. He couldn't be no better lookin, Jennie Mae.

Jennie Mae: Oh, Darlene.

Darlene: I'd be up all night long if that guy lived at my house. Be walkin in the stars so bad I'd bump into walls. I tell you, for a preacher he sure is good lookin -

Jennie Mae: His eyes sure are somethin. It's like they change colors sometimes when he sees you.

Darlene: (impressed) Jesus. There's just something about an older type man.

Jennie Mae: (worldy) Yeah, he's pretty mature.

Darlene: Not like thse boys around here.

Jennie Mae: Who you courtin, Darlene?

Darlene: Just these boys around here.

Jennie Mae: Not Melvin Wilder?

Darlene: (coy) I might be.

Jennie Mae: Dewey Maples?

Darlene: I could be. Why don't you come see?

Jennie Mae: I'm awful tired, Darlene.

Darlene: Well you don't have to be so darn prissy about it.

Jennie Mae: (exiting back into the house) I been up half the night.

Darlene: (mocking) "I been up half the night." She just got eyes for that preacher.
