Birdie: Who the fuck you think you're talking to, man? This ain't Nutso. This ain't that dopehead on the roof taking orders from you. This ain't your same little brother following behind you trying to go outside. You ain't the motherfuckin' man no more. I'm the one! Shit has changed! It's a new day, bro. If you can't clean up your act, I suggest you raise the fuck up and get the hell out of Dodge... or get caught up.
Kyle-Lee: You my man and the whole 9 but you look like a 14-karat Urkel.
Kyle-Lee: Why are you doin this man? It's just a game.
Birdie: Just 'cause a motherfucker's born into your family don't mean you stay family, all right? That motherfucker ain't shit. He don't care about me, you, nothing. Okay? Understand?
Shep: You hear that Nutso? The boy here says he owes me. HE owes ME. Are we even? ARE WE EVEN? You don't owe me nothin. You owe yourself and ones who cared to get you here. Believe me. I know.
Kyle-Lee: I can't believe you going out with that toy cop again. I mean, what do you even know about him? At least tell me what time you're coming home.
Kyle-Lee: You ain't no cop 'cause you knocking boots with Barney Fife.
Mailika: Sit your 10-cent ass down. You don't pay rent, you don't pay bills, and you did not bring me into this world. Don't disrespect me again. Do you understand?
Birdie: Check this out. You ain't goin to college or any fuckin where if the Bird Man don't win. You might be on the other team, but you playin for ME. Remember that.
Bugaloo: Yo, Kyle, tell this funny-looking nigga how long it took me to call you back after you beeped me.
Bugaloo: Anyway, yo, Kyle, I told Birdie that you was in. Money was hyped. He had like an orgasm and shit. I think that nigger like winning more than money and twice as much as pussy and shit. Motherfucker jerk off to winning.
Motaw: Alright, you motherfuckers finished? Ya'll FINISHED? You silly motherfuckers! You got be soldiers, alright? Soldiers! Not clowns, goddamnit. Drive, and you, shut the fuck up.
Kyle-Lee: Yo, man, why you be trying to stare me down?
Bugaloo: Don't mind that nigger. He's just mad. He'll be sittin' the bench and you playing point and shit. He got his period and shit. I'll get you some pads. Mini or maxi, what you take? Tampons?
Motaw: Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something! First of all, I don't give a fuck what Birdie said. And I don't give a damn about this nigga in the back. I'll bury the both of you motherfuckers. Better start listening and stop playing. Hold up, pull over right here.
Motaw: [after Motaw brutally beats two drug dealers] Did you motherfuckers see that? I'm a motherfuckin' soldier, you know what I'm sayin'! Now drive!
Bugaloo: I think you need a role model. Or a hug or somethin'.
Rollins: Born with all the gifts, but you just gave up. Oh yeah, I'd say you owe plenty. If you ever plan on giving anything back, you better start right now. You can't do anything about your mom or Nutso, but you can about Kyle. It's all there for him, Shep, and he's blowing it.
Kyle-Lee: I was just thinkin bout spreadin my fingers and poppin my wrist.
Bugaloo: Yo Kyle, I didn't know you was uncircumcised. Yo, Your dick look like an anteater.
Shep: Crazy hard, scar your motherfuckin ass, bunks
Mailika: What about you? Where does your mind run to?
Shep: Nowhere. It's just stuck. It's the rest of me that does the running.
Mailika: That's too bad. Folks either move past the things that happen to them, or they stop moving at all. But you're young. You can do anything, except sing.
