Quotes
-
Florida Evans : Ain't this a shame?
Willona Woods : What?
Florida Evans : Here I am working steady, it's bill paying time, and I'm almost $50 short.
Willona Woods : Whoo, child. I'd lend you everything I got, but that would make you $80 short.

Willona Woods : Flo, I have just solved your problems financially. Come on over here, everybody. Take a look.
Florida Evans : Oh, great.
Thelma Evans : Oh, let's see this!
Willona Woods : You are about to get a crash course in the Willona Woods School of Home Economics.
Florida Evans : All right.
Willona Woods : Now, these are your bills, right?
Florida Evans : Right.
Willona Woods : All you got to do is put a $5 payment on each bill. That's all.
Florida Evans : [Points to a bill with no payment] Well, that's great, Willona, but there's nothing on this one, which means they just repossessed the refrigerator!
Willona Woods : Oh, just hold on, honey. That's the beauty of the system.
[Places a payment from one bill to the other]
Willona Woods : Look at that. Now your refrigerator is back on and you can eat again.
Florida Evans : On the floor? They just took the furniture.
Willona Woods : I ain't never told nobody the system was perfect, did I?
