Sparkle : What do you want?
Stix : Looking for a girl singer.
Sparkle : Didn't you know? This family's fresh out.
Stix : Sparkle...
Sparkle : When'd you get back?
Stix : A few days ago, my grams been real sick...
Sparkle : A few days ago. Must've been out when you called.
Stix : Sparkle... Look, I know how you feel.
Sparkle : I know you do. You know, it's funny. One brain in this room thinking for two people. Since when did you know how anybody feels? About anything except yourself, Mr. Stix Warren?
Stix : Look, Sparkle, we got a lot to talk about. But unless you talk about it, you know, just give me a chance.
Sparkle : Give you a chance? Wanna know something funny? When you first left, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to live without you. Yeah, I used to sit in this room and wondered if I would ever get through another second. Can you imagine a person so unhappy? To not know if they'd live through another second? I got through the second, Stix. Minutes, days, months, weeks. I'm doing fine without you. Just fine.
Stix : Sparkle, no matter what you think of me, I came back because I want you to sing. Why you think I been so busy since I been back? Got me a job at the record company, lined up all my old contacts...
Sparkle : You know, you were always so good at business, Stix. Business! BUSINESS!
Stix : And it's no truer than it is now. I want you to sing, Sparkle.
Sparkle : What have I got to sing about? Stix, what have I got to sing about?
Stix : I loved Sister too. But what happened to Sister happened to Sister, not to you. You got your whole life. I want you to sing. Don't bury yourself with your sister.
Sparkle : Get out of here. Get out! Nobody ever understood Sister except me! Don't you ever, ever, use her name again! Get out of here! Get out!

Sister , Sparkle , Delores : [singing] And now you jump, We're gonna shake a little funk, You're doing fine, And now you're right on time, Have a ball, I hope my mama don't call, Know the rules, We're gonna keep it in the groove, Baby, you're all for me, Cause your moving just sets me free, I love the way you party hard, Don't want nothing to tear us apart, Tell you now, I ain't too proud too beg, Hope my partner loves to shake a leg...
