- Jack Spade: It proves I can beat a woman and some midgets.

- Newsman: Well, actually, I don't. I didn't grow up around blacks. Now, I grew up in the suburbs. My dad was a lawyer. My mom was a doctor. And all my friends were white. I mean, everybody used to tease me 'cause I didn't speak *jive*. And I couldn't dance to save my life. But, the only step I really knew was like that step that Springsteen does in the "Dancing in the Dark" video. I love Springsteen.

Oh, yeah, and the time when that Evans family, those little midgets, Was chasing you home 'cause you didn't want to give them your lunch money. I could hear your punk ass calling me a half a mile away, "Mama, help me! Mama, help me!" Now you don't need me no more, huh? Fine.
- John Slade: The reason you been away so long is 'cause Mr. Big shot your ass through the grease and put your black butt in this joint. At one time, you were the biggest and baddest player out there, man. Remember?
- Flyguy: Yeah, I remember. I was *Pimp* of the Year.
- Wayne Evans: Hey, man, from the waist down, you're mine!
- Jack Spade: Yeah? Get on a ladder and see how tough you are!
- Ma Bell: Let's get out of here. Follow me.
- Jack Spade: No, you follow me.
- Ma Bell: Follow me!
- Slammer: I don't care who follows who. If y'all step on my bunion, I'll kill both of you.
