Emma Mae (1976)

Laetitia Burdett: Melik Stansell

Quotes 

• Melik Stansell : Dara and Ulika are always teasin' me. Callin' me nubby. But, I want you to call them nubby.

  Emma Mae : Nubby? Now why do they say that?

  Melik Stansell : Because they say mine aren't as big as their nipples. I hate them.

  Emma Mae : Melik, what is all this about size? Now, listen to your big cuz. Now, my mother had practically *nothin'* up here. I mean nothin'! She was almost flat as a pancake. And you know what? One day I heard her ask my daddy if he cared.

  Melik Stansell : She did? And what did your daddy say?

  Emma Mae : Now, that's the good part. My daddy looked at her and he said, "Anything over a mouthful is wasted anyway."

  Melik Stansell : And then what did your mother say?

  Emma Mae : She didn't say nothin'. My daddy just looked at her and laughed and said, "Your lucky I don't have a big mouth."

• Melik Stansell : Oo, Emma! You got some *big* ones.

  Emma Mae : Girl, I thought you were sleepin'. You nearly scared me to death.

  Melik Stansell : Gosh, Emma, your's are as big as Dara and Ulika put together. Even bigger than Mama's.
