Coffy : That I am, mon, and I can see that you're not at all disappointed, of course. So I'll come straight to the point as I like to do.

Coffy : Boss! Another drink for my friend here.
[to King George]
Coffy : I presume a champagne cocktail is sufficient? Good, mon.

Howard Brunswick : What I did was for our people, for our brothers and sisters.
Coffy : You shouldn't talk to me about sisters, Howard, I've got a sister.
-
Coffy : [holding a shotgun on Howard] Hello Howard, come and sit down, I ain't mad at you.
Howard Brunswick : Coffy baby, I knew they weren't really going to do it.
Coffy : Oh I ain't here because they didn't try, lover.
Howard Brunswick : Well they would've done it anyway, no matter what I said, you know that don't you?
Coffy : Yeah I know, I told you I ain't mad.
-
Sugarman : [getting in the back seat of his car] Well, honey, you're with friends at last. We gonna straighten you out, for shore.
Coffy : And you know just the words that turn me on. And I know what you want too and you gonna get it.
Sugarman : Let's go to your place Grover. You can have the leftovers.
Grover : [in the front seat, driving] No, man. I just want to get high and watch.
-
Coffy : Son of a bitch! You really is a big man, aren't you. Oh, yes!
-
Coffy : Wouldn't you want to kill somebody who had done a thing like that to your little sister?
Carter : I sure would.
Coffy : Then, you'd think it'd be right?
Carter : What? To kill some pusher who's only sellin' so he can get money to buy for himself? What good would that do, Coffy? When he's only a part of a chain that reaches all the way back to some poor farmer in Turkey or Vietnam. What would you do? Kill all of 'em?
Coffy : Well, why not? Nothing else seems to do any good!
-
Howard Brunswick : He's the heat, baby. So don't pull out any pills or joints.
Coffy : Oh, really! The fuzz, huh!

Coffy : Let me congratulate you - Congressman. I ain't never screwed a Congressman before.
-
Howard Brunswick : I love you, baby. You're my woman.
Coffy : Oh, I'll say I am. Oh, you're - my man.
-
Howard Brunswick : What's the matter, Coffy, baby? Something bothering you?
Coffy : Oh, I've just been thinking about having to go back to work tonight. That night shift has been making me a little jumpy.
Howard Brunswick : I thought it was because when a man gets my age he can't satisfy them lusty young bitches no mo'.
Coffy : Now, don't start gettin' insecure grandpa, now. Now, you know that long goodie will keep on workin' as long as I'm able to handle it. And you know it too! You old dog, you.
-
Priscilla : I was his top call girl and his personal old lady.
Coffy : Until he cut your face. Then, you weren't so popular any more. Then, he put you back on the street. Now, ain't that right?
Priscilla : Yeah. That's because I got mad and I called him a nigger. Now, I know I shouldn't have done that.
-
Coffy : [pretending to be "Mystique" from Jamaica] Now, I don't do no leatherwork, man. No whips, ropes, chains or none of those fetish freaks. Just plain sex. But, for that, I don't mind saying that I am the very best - in my business.
King George : We'll just have to see about that.
-
Arturo Vitroni : Get down on the floor where you belong! You no good, dirty, nigger bitch!
Coffy : Oh, please. I know I'm not good enough for you. But, let me have you're precious white body, just once.
Arturo Vitroni : [spits on Coffy and walks to the bed] And let me see you crawl over here, you black trash!
-
Coffy : Oh! Oh! Ohhhh! Oh, when you do that it makes me feel so good. Mmmm. You make me feel so happy. Ahhh...
