Divine movie quote quiz

Today is the birthday of Divine (a.k.a Harris Glenn Milstead).

John Waters' greatest muse would have been 62 today. He died in 1988 of respiratory failure caused by sleep apnea. Though he left us too soon, the performer made an indelible mark on American cult cinema.

We thought we'd commemorate the occasion of his birthday with a Divine movie quote quiz. See if you can match the quotes below with the following characters:

a. Babs Johnson from Pink Flamingos (1972)
b. Dawn Davenport from Female Trouble (1974)
c. Francine Fishpaw from Polyester (1981)
d. Rosie Velez from Lust in the Dust (1985)
e. Edna Turnblad from Hairspray (1988)

Quote 1: Oh Elmer, that dog stinks to high heaven. You'll be permeated by his odor.

Quote 2: I've DONE everything a mother can do: I've locked her in her room, I've beat her with the car aerial. Nothing changes her. It's HARD being a loving mother!

Quote 3: It's the times. They are a-changin'. Something's blowing in the wind. Fetch me my diet pills, would you?

Quote 4: Oh my God Almighty! Someone has sent me a bowel movement!

Quote 5: Yeah, I was a dance hall girl, but what makes you so high and mighty? You own a whorehouse! A whorehouse!... and with only three whores in it. One of them is just a senile old cow. [aside to Big Ed] No offense, honey.
