Janet Jackson: Millicent 'Penny' Woods

Quotes 

• Lavonne : [to Penny]  Hey sweetie, what'd you do to get in here?

  Millicent 'Penny' Woods : Well, Mama had to take her teeth to the dentist and I had to take my skates to the rink. So Michael and I went downstairs and Michael's friend Howard pulled up and said "Hop in", so we hopped. Then a policeman said, "pull over" so we pulled. Then he said, "you have the right to remain silent", so we remained silent. Those are the highlights, film at 11:00.

• Millicent 'Penny' Woods : [to Lavonne]  So, what are you in for?

  Lavonne : I'm in because of my, uh, "social work."

• Millicent 'Penny' Woods : [to Willona]  Mama, can social workers be put in jail?

  Willona Woods : Of course not, baby. Social workers do a lot of positive things in the community.

  Millicent 'Penny' Woods : Oh.

  [walks over to Lavonne] 

  Millicent 'Penny' Woods : My mama says that you can't go to jail for what you're doing, so keep up the good work.
