"Earl Mills: [notices thick makeup on Dorothy's face] What happened to your face? Dorothy Dandridge: Guess I wasn't black enough to lead the tribe."

"Harold Nicholas: Dottie, it's a whole different ballgame over there! They don't know the difference between black and white, and when they do, it's because they're treating us better than they treat their own! Dorothy Dandridge: I can't go to Paris! Lynn is going to need special care! Harold Nicholas: Then get special care. Dorothy Dandridge: Not in an institution! Harold Nicholas: Dottie, she doesn't even know we're here. Dorothy Dandridge: I'm her mother. And you are her father. Harold Nicholas: And I married you. Not this. Dorothy Dandridge: Well, I am this! What are you? Harold Nicholas: I'm Harold Nicholas, of the Nicholas Brothers. And maybe that's all I'm supposed to be."
