Jason's Lyric (1994)

Suzzanne Douglas: Gloria

Quotes 

• Gloria : Nobody killed Mad Dog. He died in that war. They just didn't bury him.

• Gloria : [after Josh assembles a massive feast, Gloria begins to throw it all away]  Mama, what are you doing? What are you doing? Ma, I made this for you! Stop it, now! I just bought that shit!

  Gloria : [Continuing to throw everything away]  Drug money.

  Joshua Alexander : See, how you know I didn't get it the honest way? Huh? How you know that?

  Gloria : Every time you come out, I pray it'll be different, but it's always the same! Always the same.

  [Grabs the main course] 

  Joshua Alexander : [Grabs it from her]  Not the roast, Mama. I spent $25 on that. What are you doing? I spent $100 on all that shit! $100, to make you happy, Mama!

  Gloria : Drug money. Drug money! I'll die, you hear me? I'll die before I feed my family with that money, and if you bring it in my house again, the doors will be locked.

  Joshua Alexander : [Referring to his father]  Now, I see how a man could beat you.

  Gloria : [Slaps Joshua soundly across the face] 

  Joshua Alexander : [Angrily swings his fist back to retaliate, and is grabbed by Jason] 

  Gloria : I KNEW Mad Dog's ghost was somewhere to be found, but I had no idea it was in my own house!

• Jason Alexander : If you wanted a man to take you to some place special, where would that place be?

  Gloria : You met somebody.

  Jason Alexander : [Chuckles]  I didn't say all that.

  Gloria : What's she like?

  Jason Alexander : Damn!

  [Both laughing] 

  Jason Alexander : Female intuition. Can't get a take on her, you know. One minute, she's dissing me, giving me a hard time and the next minute, she's showing me things I ain't never seen before.
