Richard Pryor Dialogue

Whose car is that?

That belongs to the Supreme Black Man, that's who

Yeah, man, that's Daddy's car, man, Daddy Rich

You never watch him on TV?

That's the man knew the answers to all my questions

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Amen! Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord

Or praise this car, honey

Thank you, miss

Daddy Rich, what's your secret, brother?

My secret?

Please

How you doin', brother?

Thank you, brother

Good to see you

The secret

Thank you

There are no secrets

Believe that

Except believe in the Lord

And believe in yourself

And most of all

Believe in that federal green

'Cause money walks

And bullshit talks

How you doin', brother?

Daddy Rich, I been followin' you for over five years

Well, bless you, brother, bless you

Would you allow me the privilege of shining your shoes? Please

Well, you know what they say

I take what is given unto me

Amen!

Daddy Rich's special polish

Wow!

Special polish!

What's it feel like in there, Lindy?

Like being in church with Burt Reynolds, honey

I'd like you to drink with me

'Cause my cup runneth over

Blessed be the tithe

Alright

Yeah

My Lord!

From the body to the heavens

And a little bit for the earth

Amen, brother, amen

Amen.

Hallelujah.

And it's good too

Daddy Rich, ever since I been following you

I got a new house and a color TV

Amen

All right!

Praise the Lord

Why don't you tell everybody how you got so rich, Daddy Rich?

This is one **** you ain't you ain't foolin', brother

I mean, I'm hip to the game you runnin' down on these people here

What can I do for you, brother?

Oh, the same thing you doin' for everybody else

Nothin'

Hey, man, hey

Guess you don't believe In my church

The Church of Divine Economic Spirituality

Yeah, that's right, I don't believe in it

Then you don't believe in God

Not your God.

My God's doin' alright by me.

He sure is!

He's doin' alright by me too

Why don't you climb on board, brother

And believe in me

And for a small fee, I'll set you free

Nearer thy God to thee

Amen!

Praise you, honey, praise you

'Cause it's better to have money and not to need it

Than to need it and not to have it

There's a good place in this world for money

Yes siree, and I know where it is

It's right here in my pocket

Hey, give me some!

You talkin' just like a pimp

Answer him

Answer him, Lord

I don't get mad at people like that

You know why?

'Cause he's a revolutionary.

That's right, brother.

He must be leadin' a bunch of fools

Disrespect women he don't even know

Wilson Sisters some of the finest women you ever wanna meet

He don't know nothin' about 'em

Go on, talk about 'em

Right

Yes

You better believe it

Thank you

Yeah

If I wasn't a Christian man, I'd probably be kickin' in your ass

Thank you

Well, drop on down, brother

Drop on down here, brother

I'm gon' drop on down with a bit of light

I know you gonna dig this

Remember these words of Daddy Rich

Money might be the root of all evil

But it's also the answer to a lot of our problems

Amen
