The Color Purple

Shug: More than anything God loves admiration

Cealy: Are you saying god is vain?

Shug: No he ain’t vain. Just wanting to share a hood thing. I think it pissed god off if you walk past the color purple in a field and don’t notice it.

Cealy: You saying it just wanna be loved. Us sang and dance and holla. Us just trying to be loved. Look at them trees. Ever notice how trees do everything to get attention like we do?
