Genre Movies,
[first lines] Graham: It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.
Lara: [referring to the impenetrable cloak] He doesn't have it! Elizabeth: [confused] He doesn't have what?
Anthony: You wanna get killed, nigger? Cameron: [punches him] Say that again, man. Call me nigger again. Anthony: You stupid motherfucker.
Anthony: Listen to it man. Nigga this, Nigga that. You think white go around callin' each other "honky" all day, man? "Hey, honky, how's business?" "Going great, cracker, we're diversifying!"
Shaniqua: [talking on the phone] Mr. Ryan, your father has been to the clinic three times in the last month. He's been treated for a urinary tract infection that is by no means an emergency. Now, if you have any more questions about your HMO plan, why don't you make an appointment to come in between ten and four, Monday through Friday. Officer Ryan: What does my father do about sleeping tonight? Shaniqua: I don't know. I'm not a Doctor. Officer Ryan: I wanna talk to your supervisor... Shaniqua: I am my supervisor! Officer Ryan: Yeah, what's your name? Shaniqua: Shaniqua Johnson. Officer Ryan: Shaniqua. Big fucking surprise that is! Shaniqua: Oh! [Shaniqua hangs up]
Jean: I want the locks changed again in the morning. Rick: You what? Look, why don't you just go lie down, huh? Have you checked on James? Jean: Well of course I've checked on James. I've checked on him every five minutes since we've been home. Do not patronize me. I want the locks changed again in the morning. Rick: Shhh. It's ok. Just go to bed, all right? Jean: [interrupting] You know what, didn't I just tell you not to treat me like a child? Maria: I'm sorry Mrs. Jean. It's okay?... I go home now? Rick: It's fine. Thank you very much for staying Maria. Maria: You're welcome. No problem. Goodnight Mrs. Jean. Jean: [Rudely] Goodnight. Rick: [to Maria] We'll see you tomorrow. Jean: I would like the locks changed again in the morning. And you know what, you might mention that next time we'd appreciate it if they didn't send a gang member... Rick: A gang member? Jean: Yes, yes. Rick: What do you mean? That kid in there? Jean: Yes. The guy in there with the shaved head, the pants around his ass, the prison tattoos. Rick: Those are not prison tattoos. Jean: [Interrupting] Oh really? And he's not gonna go sell our key to one of his gang banger friends the moment he is out our door? Rick: You've had a really tough night. I think it would be best if you just went upstairs right now and... Jean: [Interrupting] And what? Wait for them to break in? Jean: [Yelling] I just had a gun pointed in my face! Rick: [Agitated] You lower you voice! Jean: [Yelling] ... and it was my fault because I knew it was gonna happen. But if a white person sees two black men walking towards her and she turns and walks in the other direction, she's a racist, right? [Furious] Jean: Well I got scared and I didn't say anything and ten seconds later I had a [Jabbing her finger into Rick's chest] Jean: gun in my face. Now I am telling you, your amigo in there is gonna sell our key to one of his homies and this time it'd be really fucking great if you acted like you actually gave a shit!
Jean: Do you want to hear something funny? Maria: What's that Mrs. Jean? Jean: You're the best friend I've got.
Christine: I just couldn't stand to see that man take away your dignity.
Anthony: No, no, no, take that voodoo-ass thing off of there right now! Peter: I know you just didn't call St. Christopher voodoo. Man's the patron saint of travelers, dog. Anthony: You had a conversation with God, huh? What did God say? Go forth, my son, and leave big slobbery suction rings on every dashboard you find? Why the hell do you do that? Peter: Look at the way your crazy ass drive, then ask me that again!
Anthony: You see any white people in there waiting an hour and thirty two minutes for a plate of spaghetti? Huh? And how many cups of coffee did we get? Peter: You don't drink coffee and I didn't want any. Anthony: That woman poured cup after cup to every single white person around us. Did she even ask you if you wanted any? Peter: We didn't get any coffee that you didn't want and I didn't order, and this is evidence of racial discrimination? Did you happen to notice our waitress was black? Anthony: And black women don't think in stereo types? You tell me something man. When was the lat time you met one who didn't think she knew everything about your lazy ass? Before you even open your mouth, huh?
Anthony: Look around! You couldn't find a whiter, safer or better lit part of this city. But this white woman sees two black guys, who look like UCLA students, strolling down the sidewalk and her reaction is blind fear. I mean, look at us! Are we dressed like gang-bangers? Huh? No. Do we look threatening? No. Fact, if anybody should be scared around here, it's us: We're the only two black faces surrounded by a sea of over-caffeinated white people, patrolled by the triggerhappy LAPD. So you tell me, why aren't we scared? Peter: Because we have guns? Anthony: You could be right.
Lara: I'll protect you, Daddy.
Lara: How far can bullets go? Daniel: They go pretty far but they usually get stuck in something and stop. Lara: What if they don't? Daniel: Are you thinking about that bullet that came through your window?
Lara: I heard a bang. Daniel: What, like a truck bang? Lara: Like a gun.
Anthony: That waitress sized us up in two seconds. We're black and black people don't tip. So she wasn't gonna waste her time. Now somebody like that? Nothing you can do to change their mind. Peter: So, uh... how much did you leave? Anthony: You expect me to pay for that kind of service?
Lucien: You watch the Discovery Channel? Anthony: Not a lot. Peter: They got some good shit on that channel. Lucien: Every night there is a show with somebody shining a little blue light and finding tiny specks of blood splattered on carpets and walls and ceiling fans, bathroom fixtures and special-edition plastic Burger King tray cups. The next thing they show is some stupid redneck in handcuffs who looks absolutely stunned that this is happening to him. Sometimes the redneck is actually WATCHING the Discovery Channel when they break in to arrest him. And he still can't figure out how on earth they could've caught him! [pauses] Lucien: Psst. Do I look like I wanna be on the Discovery Channel? Anthony: No. Lucien: Then get the fuck outta my shop.
Cameron: I mean, sooner or later, you gotta find out what it's really like to be black. Christine: Oh, fuck you man! Like you'd know! The closest you ever came to being black, Cameron, was watching "The Cosby Show". Cameron: Yeah, well, at least I wasn't watching it with the rest of the equestrian team.
Farhad: I am not yelling! I am upset!
Motorcycle Cop: Calm down, ma'am. Kim Lee: I am calm. Motorcycle Cop: I need to see your registration and insurance. Kim Lee: Why? Not my fault! It's her fault! She do this! Ria: [approaching] My fault? Motorcycle Cop: Ma'am, you really need to wait in your vehicle. Ria: [appraoching] My fault? Kim Lee: Stop in the middle of street! Mexicans! No know how to drive! She blake too fast! Ria: I "blake" too fast? I "blake" too fast? I'm sorry, you no see my "blake lights"? Motorcycle Cop: [to Ria] Ma'am... Ria: [to Kim Lee] See, I stop when I see long line of cars stop in front of me. Maybe you see over steering wheel, you "blake" too. Motorcycle Cop: [to Ria] Ma'am... Ria: Officer, can you please write down in your report how shocked I am to be hit by an Asian driver?
Dirk: Andy, get him out of here now! Dorri: [to Farhad] Go, wait in the car. Farhad: [to Dirk] You are ignorant man! Dirk: I'm ignorant. You're liberating my country, and I'm flying seven four sevens into your mud huts and incinerating my friends. Get the fuck out of my store!
Graham: That is a nice gun. Ria: Well, the car is registered to a Cindy Bradley. And that's not Cindy. That is a William Lewis. [hands him a wallet] Ria: Found under the front seat. Hollywood Division. Graham: Looks like Detective Conklin shot himself the wrong nigga.
Christine: [to Cameron] Fuck you, Cameron! [to Ryan] Christine: And you, keep your filthy fuckin' hands off me! Ow! You fucking pig! Cameron: Christine, just stop taking. Officer Ryan: [to Christine] That's quite a mouth you have. [to Cameron] Officer Ryan: Course, you know that. Christine: Fuck you! That's what this is all about, isn't it? You thought you saw a white woman blowing a black man, and that just drove your little cracker ass crazy! Cameron: Christine, shut your fuckin' mouth! Officer Ryan: I'd listen to your husband, Ma'am. Put your legs open. Now, do you have any guns or knives or anything I might get stuck with?
Christine: No, what I need is a husband who will not just stand there, while I'm being molested.
Officer Hanson: Hey. Maybe they didn't tell you, but I've been reassigned. Officer Ryan: Yeah, they told me. I just wanted to say good luck and it was good riding with you. Officer Hanson: You too. Officer Ryan: Wait 'till you've been on the job a few more years. Look at me. Officer Hanson: Yeah. Officer Ryan: Look at me. Wait 'till you've been doing it a little longer.
Flanagan: Fucking black people, huh? Graham: What did you just say? Flanagan: I mean, I know all the sociological reasons why, per capita eight times more black men are incarcerated than white men... Schools are a disgrace, lack of opportunity, bias in the judicial system, all that stuff... But still... but still, it's... it's gotta get to you, I mean, on a gut level, as a black man. They just can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar.
Flanagan: The D.A's squad loses its lead investigator next month. Rick is quite adamant that his replacement be a person of color. It's a high profile position, and he wants to send the right message to the community. Graham: And the right message is look at this Black Boy I bought?
Graham's Mother: Did you find your brother? Graham: No, Ma. Graham's Mother: Tell him to come home. Tell him I'm not mad, okay? Okay, baby?
Officer Ryan: Put your hands on top of your head, Ma'am. Cameron: Now, you just do what he says.
