- Brian: Let me tell you something, and don't you ever forget it: that success is *nothing* without someone you love to share it with.
- Tracy: My old man left me with 6 kids, the heat's been off for weeks, and they all got the flu. What are you gonna do about that?
- Brian: [Brian speaks on microphone] Who said that? Will the lady who said that please step... I can't see who said that. Please let the lady who said that step forward, please.
- Tracy: Mr. Walker. When you're elected, what are you gonna do to help me?
- Brian: Do you want me to help with your landlord, lady?
- Tracy: Hell no! I want you to help me get my old man back!
- Brian: Well, madam, if you really want your old man back, are you prepared to stand by him when the goings gettin' rough?
- Tracy: Yes!
- Brian: Madam, would you be willing to put your imagination to work on behalf of the cause he's fighting for?
- Tracy: [Tracy raises her fist] Yes!
- Brian: Madam, would you love and cherish him for the rest of your life?
- Tracy: Yes!
- Brian: Madam...
- Tracy: Yes.
- Brian: If you're willing to do all that, I guarantee you I'll get you your old man back.
- Tracy: Then, mister, you got my vote.
- [Brian and Tracy kiss in the crowd]
- Tracy: Did you see those people? They love me! They all love me. The men love me, the women love me. Mahogany.
- Sean: [photographing a model] It's too horny, honey. It's still too horny. Be a little more virtue. You've never been had. You have been had. All right, try looking a little more pensive. Try looking a little more sad. Try saying: shit.
- Sean: [photographing a model] Turn, turn, turn your back to me. Look over your shoulder. Show the dress more. Hide that seam. Okay, good. Good, okay. Bring your right shoulder forward. Bring the right shoulder forward. No, the right shoulder. That's your left shoulder. The other right shoulder, darling. Okay. Smile. No, no, not so broad. A sexy smile. Good. That's beautiful. Fine. You ought to be in New York.
- Tracy: What chu gonna do about gettin' my old man back? 'Cause I sure do need my old man. I can't get along without my old man. Ain't none of us can get along without our old man. What about you? We all need our old man! Help me get my old man back!
- Tracy: Every designer in town is going to be there and I want to make sure that not one loose thread is showing.
- Brian: Hey, what's the big deal? They've all said no to you anyway? Look, I just mean you shouldn't get yourself so...
- Tracy: Thanks for the encouragement, pal.
- Brian: Tracy, you don't understand. This dinner is really important.
- Tracy: And what I'm doing isn't, right?
- Brian: What you're doing is getting to be a pain in the ass, if you really want to know. Now, you got yourself involved in something that's really meaningful here.
- Tracy: Yeah, your career. Somehow you seem to be forgetting about mine.
- Brian: I can't forget about something that never existed, Tracy. Don't you think it's about time you faced up to it?
- Giuseppe: Personally, for myself, I find that Signorina Mahogany's assets are something more significant than a pair of silicone globes.
- Tracy: I wonder if I'm doing the right thing.
- Carlotta Gavina: One never knows until one has done all the wrong things.
- Christian Rosetti: Isn't being rich and beautiful enough for you?
- Tracy: I'm not rich - and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
- Christian Rosetti: I've got news for you. So is being rich.
- Tracy: I don't want to see you sorry. I don't want to see you anything. In fact, I don't want to see you!
- Tracy: Hey, mister, want to buy a piece of ass? Come on, sucker, you want some booty? Yeah, you man, I'm talkin' to you. Come on, you want somethin', shit? What chu want? You got some money? Well, guess you can't please everybody.
- Sean: [photographing a model] That's good! Fabulous. Now, move into that - cuddle up to that telescope. Good. Kind of look through it. Just once. Yeah. Like that. Okay, turn around back again. Turn your back a little. That's right. And hold on to the - the side of the telescope. Yeah, that's good. Really stroke that thing, darling. Stroke it. Mmm. Great, great, great. Put your fingers right inside. That's enough. Hold it. Hold it. Take a deep breath. Arch your back. Show us your tits. And say: shit.
- Sean: [photographing a model] Good, good. Hold it. Hold it. Wet your lips. Good. Good. Turn around. Good. Fine. Now, look at me over that way. That's fabulous. Great. Okay, suck in your gut. Hold it! Smile.
- Brian: Something's happening down here. Something's happening everywhere. A couple a years back it looked like things were gonna change - not only just for black people, but, for everybody in the world that's been ripped off, pushed around, or just born unlucky. Something's gone. Something - some kind of *feeling* for each other.
- Tracy: Brian, I'm from down here, too. Are you forgetting that?
- Brian: I'm just wondering if maybe *you* are.
- Tracy: One thing I can't forget and that's how many times I've been told what I can't do, where I can't go, and why can't I be different from anybody else. 'Cause that's all I've had to keep track of, all my life, from everybody.
- Brian: Listen to this: Looking out for number one brings out disintegration. It's by pulling together we feel our power and our strength. It's a new tag for the PTA luncheon. What do you think about that?
- Tracy: Look, Brian, what do you get at the PTA? Women, right? That's a little hokey. Talk about something's that down to earth, like: good politics is like good sex. If you're only for yourself, you're going to be by yourself. Then, flash that grand piano of your's you call a smile.
- Sean: You've been listening to a little girlish chatter from Carlotta, huh? That bitch. What does she know? What does she know, the bitch. I understand the needs of a woman. I understand the needs of a woman.
- Brian: The polls say we're way behind. But, that don't bother me; because, polls don't elect people, people elect people!
- Christian Rosetti: They understand you well enough. You see, it's like with dogs. It's the tone, not the words.
- Tracy: I don't have time to be an animal trainer, Christian.
- Christian Rosetti: I understand. But, you see, they don't like...
- Tracy: I'm not paying them to like! I'm paying them to work.
- Christian Rosetti: Correction: I am paying them to work.
- Brian: My opponent has served five terms in Washington. He believes that corruption is the nature of the beast. But, let me tell you something. Corruption is *not* the nature of the beast, corruption is the beast that feeds on nature. We want to beat back the beast and get on with the work of *good* government.
