The Color Purple1985

Shug:
More than anything God loves admiration.

Celie:
You saying God is vain?

Shug:
No, not vain, just wanting to share a good thing. I think it pisses God off when you walk by the color purple in a field and don't notice it.

Celie:
You saying it just wanna be loved like it say in the Bible?

Shug:
Yeah, Celie. Everything wanna be loved. Us sing and dance and holla just wanting to be loved. Look at them trees. Notice how the trees do everything people do to get attention... except walk? [they laugh] Oh, yeah, this field feels like singing! Oh Miss Celie, I feels like singing!
