That's such a lovely hat, a fine chapeau.
Jarene
Your style is so down pat, your pedigree shows.
Doris
Those flowers look so real, fresh easter bloom.

Shug
No, Celie. god not some gloomy old man like the pictures you've seen of him. god
not a man at all.
Heard about that she wit' some
Hi yella man. . . . car!
He got a really big car.
God is inside you and everyone else
That was or ever will be.
We come into this world with god.
But only them who look inside find it.
God is the flowers and everything else that was or ever will be.
And when you feel the truth so real,
And when you love the way you feel, you've found it just as sure as moonlight
bless the night.
Hi yella
Hi yella
Hi yella
Hi yella
Hi yella
Who hootchie-kootchin'
Hi yella
Hi yella
And what about po' chile Celie?
Like a blade of corn, like a honeybee,
Like a waterfall, all a part of me.
Like the color purple, where do it come from?

Po' chile Celie? wit' who?
What about po' . . .

Mister gon' moochie wit' two! scandless!
Who hootchie-kootchin' wit' who?
