• James : [Mr Stonehurst needs to take some aspirin]  Say, how about washing them down with a little muscatel?

  Mr. Stonehurst : Muscatel?

  J.J. : Yeah, that's the champagne of the people. It don't sparkle, it don't bubble. It just kind of... lays there.

• James Evans, Sr. : [reading the apartment thermometer]  Ooh wee, baby, it's down to 55!

  Florida Evans : Feels like 40.

  James Evans, Sr. : [hugging Florida]  Hey, I sure am glad I got me an ample woman to sleep with tonight.

  Florida Evans : Speaking of ample, I bet you sorry you didn't marry Emeline Watson.

  James Evans, Sr. : Emeline Watson... how you remember Emeline Watson?

  Florida Evans : How can you forget Emeline Watson, she weighed 300 pounds!

  Thelma Evans : Daddy, you used to go out with a lady that weighed 300 pounds?

  James Evans, Sr. : Yeah, but I only went out with her one time. See, I was courting your mother so I had this friend of mine set me up with a heavy date to make her jealous. Lord knows, I didn't know the date was gonna be THAT heavy.
