CELIE

God forgot about me!

SHUG

God takin' his time getting around to you, I admit, but look at all he give us.

Laughin', and singin', and sex. Sky over our heads, birds singin' to us. I think it piss

God off if anybody even walk past the color purple in a field and not notice it. He

say, "look what I made for you."

CELIE

God just another man, far as I'm concerned, he triflin' and lowdown . . .

SHUG

No, Celie. God not some gloomy old man like the pictures you've seen of him.

God not a man at all.

GOD IS INSIDE YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE

THAT WAS OR EVER WILL BE.

WE COME INTO THIS WORLD WITH GOD.

BUT ONLY THEM WHO LOOK INSIDE FIND IT.

GOD IS THE FLOWERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE

THAT WAS OR EVER WILL BE.

AND WHEN YOU FEEL THE TRUTH SO REAL,

AND WHEN YOU LOVE THE WAY YOU FEEL, YOU'VE FOUND IT

JUST AS SURE AS MOONLIGHT BLESS THE NIGHT.

LIKE A BLADE OF CORN,

LIKE A HONEYBEE,

LIKE A WATERFALL,

ALL A PART OF ME.

LIKE THE COLOR PURPLE,

WHERE DO IT COME FROM?

OPEN UP YOUR EYES,

LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE.

CELIE

You better be gettin' back. Your husband probably wonderin' where you are.

SHUG

Where do you want to be, Celie?

CELIE

With you.

SHUG

All right then.

CELIE

God gon' take me to live with you?

SHUG

Come on.
