Emira Eagle
- 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.

- 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!
