One of my fav. exchanges EVER in a move was:

EDNA: Ooh, Tracy, what do you think about this one?

TRACY: I like it.

EDNA: Oh, Wilbur would kill us if we spent that much money.

PINKY: You look gorgeous, Bertha, simply exquisite!

BERTHA: Oh, I don't know, Pinky.

PINKY: Have an eclair. Eat up girls, eat up. Big is beautiful. Tracy Turnblad! Welcome to the Hefty Hideaway House of Fashion for the ample woman. Hi, I'm Mr. Pinky.

TRACY: Hi.

EDNA: Mr. Pinky, I'm Tracy's business manager, Edna Turnblad.

PINKY: Well, it's a pleasure to meet the both of you. Here, we cater to the big-boned gals like yourself who are stylish and at the same time frustrated by the lack of sizes in the department stores today. I saw you on TV. I want you to be my model!

EDNA: Would she be paid for this?

PINKY: One free outfit a month. You start tomorrow. I hope there's no diets in the works because I want to design your Miss Auto Show coronation gown myself!

EDNA: Could you throw in a couple of complimentary pettipants in the deal?

PINKY: You drive a hard bargain, Miss Edna, and rightfully so. Pettipants, pettigirdle, you just let Tracy take her pick.

EDNA: How about a fabulous frock just for me?

PINKY: Tracy'll have to work one extra day for free.

EDNA: It's a deal! Thank you, Mr. Pinky!

PINKY: Ha ha ha. I'm going to make you a star!

That whole scene was BRILLIANTLY played by Divine AND Waters actually used the word "pettipants" -- I laugh out loud in my car by myself sometimes when I think of this scene from Hairspray
