Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [to Mrs. Garrett] Jermaine personally wanted me to be there. Jermaine himself, Mrs. Garrett...
Edna Garrett: Tootie, listen.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: I have to be there at the box office at 7:30 to pick up the tickets. We'll have terrific seats, Mrs. Garrett. Oh! what am I going to wear? Oh, I know I'll wear my blue sweater. That's Jermaine's favorite color.
Edna Garrett: Tootie, slow down. Why, you've forgotten about the fair tonight?
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: What about it?
Edna Garrett: This is a big night for Jo. She's short-handed as it is. We've promised we help.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Yeah, but that was before the phone call! That phone call changes everything!
Edna Garrett: I know, this is a disappointment for you, but believe me they'll be other concerts.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: But, not like this one. Who knows that I'll get to be a special guest again. Besides, it's an insult to Jermaine if I don't go.
Edna Garrett: I'm sure he'll understand.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Mrs. Garrett, please if you take me, I promise I'll never ask for anything as long as I live.
Edna Garrett: I'm sorry, Tootie. I really am, but we can't go. We'd made a prior commitment.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [raises her voice] I'm going!
Edna Garrett: Tootie, you're not being reaonable
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Mrs. Garrett, this concert means everything to me.
[with tears in her eyes]
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Why won't you let me go? Don't you have any feelings?
Edna Garrett: [in a solemn tone] Tootie.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [yelling] Jermaine wants me there tonight and I'm gonna be there! If you don't take me, I'll find someone else or I'll take a bus. I'll hitchhike!
Edna Garrett: Tootie, I said you're not going to the concert tonight.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [screaming with tears in her eyes] I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY! I AM GOING! I AM GOING!
Edna Garrett: Calm down. Calm Down.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [crying] Mrs. Garrett, I have to be there tonight. You have to take me, please.
[falls into Mrs. Garrett's arms and continues to cry]
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: Please, Mrs. Garrett. Take me.
Edna Garrett: [as she consoles Tootie] It's all right, it's all right, Tootie.
[Tootie continues crying]
Edna Garrett: It's all right, It's all right. We'll go.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey: [still crying] Oh, oh, thank you!
[continues crying]
Edna Garrett: We'll go.
