Claudine : What are you doing to do?
Charlene : Get married, and we'll both work.
Claudine : You'll both work? Together, you'll make one salary. And when the baby comes, they'll be three people living on half a salary. That's the half you can't even count on.
Charlene : Abdullah says that if...
Claudine : 'Abdullah says'? Abdullah's full of crap, that's what he is. He's just like all those other black studs. Full of crap!
Charlene : [close to tears] Mama, black men have made great contributions. George Washington Carver. W.E.B. DuBois. Frederick Douglass.
Claudine : Ain't if just too damn bad you didn't get your ass knocked up by Frederick Douglass!
