- Jesse Caldwell: So you've known me for a while, and all of a sudden, you ask me out. What took you so long?
- Brian Palmer: We're Black, single, professional men. We, gentlemen, are the cream of the crop.
- Terry White: No, let me break it down for you, man.
- [points to Jackson and Derrick]
- Terry White: *We* are the cream of the crop. *You* are the black, sticky shit on the bottom of the barrel!
- Brian Palmer: Mama, the boy's not happy here. It's not like his daddy's around here anymore.
- Helen Palmer: Don't even bring up that fool to me. Left me for some white woman.
- Brian Palmer: She's Hawaiian.
- Helen Palmer: If she ain't Black, she white.
- Brian Palmer: See, that's what I'm talking about mama! That's just ridiculous!
- Helen Palmer: Fact of life.
- Brian Palmer: That's crazy. Latina women?
- Helen Palmer: White woman with a taco.
- Brian Palmer: Oh, so I just guess Asian women...
- Helen Palmer: A white woman that don't speak-a da goddamn English!
- Jackson Smith: I know love's supposed to be this beautiful thing, but I just can't get with it. I go up, love goes down. I go left, love goes right. I say I'm ready, love says "Not yet, Jackson, she dated your father." Maybe there is love out there, but it's running from me. I can't keep chasing it.
- Fred Smith: You know, they say talent skips a generation.
- Jackson Smith: [smiles] I'll remember that.
- Jesse Caldwell: [after Judge Carla rudely insults and snubs them, then walks away] What's her problem?
- Brian Palmer: I have no idea.
- Judge Carla Williams: [Walking back to the table] Excuse me? What did you say?
- Brian Palmer: Carla, we're just trying to have lunch. Why are you making a scene?
- Judge Carla Williams: I'm not making a scene. I'm just having girl talk, right? Now, what did you SAY?
- Jesse Caldwell: I said, "What's... your... PROBLEM?"
- Judge Carla Williams: [Pointing in Jesse's face] My problem is tired-ass men like this, and women like you who get the whole world given to them, but no, no, no, you have to have our men TOO!
- Jesse Caldwell: Get that finger out of my face.
- Judge Carla Williams: Or what? Hmm? What are YOU gonna do about it?
