Harpo make a lot of money if you stay here and sing.
Shug:
Yeah, but now you got me feelin' so much better, I got to get back on the road to make some money, you know.
Celie:
When you have to go?
Shug:
In the morning. But I’ll be back too in a month or so.
You'll see. No one ever love me like you.
[Shug kisses Celie on the lips.]

Damn, girl.

Celie:
Is that me who's floating away?
Lifted up to the clouds by a kiss
Never felt nothin' like this

Is that me I don't recognize?
Love's the one thing I knew all about
I had it all figured out
