Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters
- Emira Eagle: Frankie and I were married, 1967 in Augusta, Georgia. I paid for his funeral. And I don't recall seeing any of you there.
- Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters: Oh, please. Don't even play me. Comin' up in here wearing white *after* Labor Day looking like a down-home schoolmarm!
- Emira Eagle: YES, I am a down-home schoolmarm. I teach English in high school. A class you obviously skipped.
- Zola Taylor: Frankie was probably the most naturally talented performed I'd ever seen. He was energetic; dynamic; charismatic. He got on that stage, and baby he was huge! Bigger than life!
- Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters: You see, y'all gotta understand. By the time I met Frankie, he was a record deal-needing, broke ass, scam-on-his-momma-for-a-fix druggie! Hell, the boy had so many needle marks on him, I thought he was a God-damned pin cushion! Mph, a cute pin cushion... who could sing his little ass off!
- Emira Eagle: Frankie was a perfect gentleman. We had a wonderful courtship. He used to bring me flowers and write me poetry, and...
- Zola Taylor: Nobody could do it like Frankie Lymon.
- Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters: He was a junkie motherfucker!
- Emira Eagle: He was the love of my life.
- Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters: I loved Frankie! And yes, I would have done anything, ANYTHING to save his life!
- Ezra Grahme: [while questioning Emira Eagle] Ma'am, do you hold any degrees?
- Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters: Is the Pope an old white man?
- Emira Eagle: I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Studies as well as a Bachelor's degree in Education.
- Frankie Lymon: Hey, what kind of dog is that?
- Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters: A somma dog.
- Frankie Lymon: Somma dog?
- Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters: Yeah! Somma this, somma that!
- Emira Eagle: I thought he was talented.
- Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters: Okay. He COULD sing.
- Zola Taylor: He could SING me right out of my panties!
- Lawrence Roberts: Mr. Levy, how much money have you made over the years from the song "Why Do Fools Fall In Love?" Mr. Levy?
- Morris Levy: Who knows?
- Lawrence Roberts: Try four million dollars, Mr. Levy.
- Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters: Four million dollars!
- Lawrence Roberts: And how much of that money, Mr. Levy, have you tried to pay to Frankie Lymon's estate?
- Morris Levy: I've got accountants for that kind of stuff.
- Lawrence Roberts: The answer is zero, Mr. Levy! Nothing! Not one single penny, Mr. Levy! No further questions, your honor.
- Morris Levy: Wait a second, wait a second! You're all acting like I was the only one doing business that way! Everyone was doing it! Every record producer; every owner of a label; every promoter! It was standard industry practice!
- Judge Lambrey: Alright, Mr. Levy, that's enough.
- Morris Levy: And another thing: there would be no Frankie Lymon if it wasn't for me! I discovered him first. I invested in him first. I promoted him first. And you're sitting here talking like I'm the one who put that smack into his veins.
- Judge Lambrey: Alright, Mr. Levy, I said that is enough!
- [Bangs the gavel]
- Morris Levy: You see, I just wanted you to...
- Judge Lambrey: Mr. Levy, you are excused!
- Morris Levy: Thank you very much.
- Judge Lambrey: You're welcome!
- Elizabeth 'Mickey' Waters: Wait a minute, I know you didn't come all the way up to New York in that cheap-ass nylon wig talking shit when you knew that me and Frankie was married.
- Zola Taylor: Oh, please. He dropped you like a whores panties.
