Best Lines from Tyler Perry's New 'Why Did I Get Married Too?' Movie

Watching Tyler Perry's new "Why Did I Get Married Too?" movie on the Saturday after the movie opened was an event in and of itself -- a romping fun of a good time had, surrounded by the "community of emotion" screenwriters speak of.

But they usually aren't watching movies like "your people," like my husband and joked to each other as a plethora of African-Americans made their way into the theater, peppered with grains of Caucasians here and there joining us.

"Black people call the movie the 'blackground'," my sister quipped to me over the phone today as I joked that I would have to see the movie again to hear what some of the characters actually said.

My sister belongs to that sect of black folks who don't like Tyler Perry movies -- thinking them buffoonish.

"I know I don't watch his TV shows," I agreed, thinking of the over-the-top silliness of The House of Payne and such, "but at least Tyler Perry's movies pave the way for more serious black filmmakers...plus, I like Tyler Perry as a person."

That said, some of the quotes from "Why Did I Get Married Too?" still come to mind, nearly a week after I sat and watched the movie.

Be warned, serious spoiler alerts ahead!

Top Memorable Lines from Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married Too?" Movie:

1 - "What, my little pumpkin?" Michael Jai White asked another character who questioned the craziness of his loud-mouthed wife Angela.

2 - "She was scratching her weave?" Tyler Perry's character asked another as he recounted Angela's craziness.

3 - "I just wanted to know if you wanted to have a drink sometime?" asked none other than surprise cameo scream-inducing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to Janet Jackson's character.

4 - "They sounded like sexual noises..." Angela's familiar-looking, can't-find-her-on-IMDB elderly Caucasian female neighbor warned. Oh! Here she is: K Callan. (Perhaps I know her from Desperate Housewives or LA Law or one of those other appearances on her long resume.)

5 - "You're supposed to be cleaning my house!" screamed Angela after finding the sexual noisemakers in her bed.

6 - "Gavin and I have decided to get a divorce," uttered Janet Jackson's character before literal fireworks went off behind her. (I told you spoilers were ahead.)

7 - "Diane...63 days ago you...came home and made love to me like never before," TP said to his on-screen wife. "Were you thinking of him?"

8 - "He has cancer!" Okay, I won't spoil everything by telling you who said this one and about whom it was said.

9 - "I'm the type of woman who will want to go out and do what you're punishing me for," said Jill Scott's character to Lamman Rucker.

10 - "I thought you would leave me for some cheerleader," Angela admitted. "I'm too old for that," Marcus claimed.

11 - "Don't do like me, forgive each other!" Janet Jackson yelled during a pivotal scene, literally pushing her friends into each others' arms.

12 - "I remember my blood on the pink tile...that's what I remember about that apartment," Sheila said to Mike as Richard T. Jones' regretful character started to wax nostalgic about their first place.

13 - "I prayed for help and looked up and saw an angel," Cicely Tyson's Ola said about Louis Gossett Jr., known in the film as her husband Porter. It was a nice turn to see older black actors and icons getting work -- and some SAG pay!

14 - "Leave me and mines the hell alone," said Rucker's Troy, which shut the mouth of Mike -- but not those sitting with me in the dark.

15 - "Are you putting it down? Are your players making it to the end zone?" Football analogies abounded ad nauseum, but what was most telling about Tyler Perry's character's hesitation and non-believable answer in the affirmative to the first question posed to him was: Why did he pause? Did TP try to tell us something more about his alter ego Terry's ability to do his duty in the bedroom?

Methinks the movie Tyler Perry makes wherein he turns the camera brutally on his own life will be his finest yet...his magnum opus.

And I'll bet you dollars to donuts it'll contain many more memorable lines that the above.
