Quotes 

  • George : Teenagers mess up. You know man, that's what they do best.

  • Jeremiah : I think as we prepare to go on this journey; it might be appropriate to have a prayer.

    [praying] 

    Jeremiah : Dear Lord, we ask you to...

    Flip : [running onto the bus]  Damn, I'm glad ya'll ain't left. I didn't think I was ever goin' to...

    George : [angrily]  Hey; CP Time, we tryin' to have a prayer here!

  • George : Let's go get something to eat, Rick, then I'll drive the bus for awhile.

    Rick : I need you to do me a favor, George.

    George : Rick, you can't drive the Spotted Owl the whole way, now.

    Rick : That's not it. If the base calls in, you tell them I got sick.

    George : Why?

    Rick : Because I'm not coming back.

    George : Shit, what the hell do you mean you're not coming back?

    Rick : I can't do it.

    George : Oh come on, stop bullshitting, you're just trying to go to Graceland.

    Rick : I'd be safer there.

    George : Meaning what, what do you think we're going to do, put you in a pot of boiling water and have you for supper?

    Rick : You already got the damn African drums in there.

    George : You know Rick, that's the epitome of cultural disrespect. I could come back at you with something anti-Semitic or I could whip your ass, which would you prefer, Rick?

    Rick : I'm sorry. Alright, George, here it is. Maybe I am a little bit prejudiced against blacks but no more than you're prejudiced against white people. You want me to stay on and prove how liberal and shit I am? I don't have to prove anything to anybody. I mean I think affirmative action has been fucked up. I think OJ was guilty, he's a cold blooded murderer who slaughtered two innocent human beings, okay. There it is.

    George : I'll bet you wish there were more white players in the NBA, too, huh? Well okay, let's just get it out in the open. I'll bet you'd like to call me a nigger or, what do you call it, a schvartze, or whatever the fuck it is. Well, I'm going to allow you to say it, go ahead.

    Rick : I never called anybody that in my life. All I'm saying is that if this bus is going to the Farrakhan march, I can't be a part of that.

    George : This is not just Farrakhan's march.

    Rick : I don't want to debate this thing. He called Judaism a gutter religion; he said Hitler was a great man. I wouldn't expect you to drive a bus to a Ku Klux Klan rally, so don't expect me to do this.

    George : So now you're comparing this to a Klan rally.

    Rick : Look George, either you're going to kick my ass, you're going to cover for me or I'm going to get fired. But no way am I getting my white ass back in that bus, so what's it going to be?

    George : Well, if you feel that way, then you shouldn't get your white ass back on that bus. I'll cover for you, Rick. See you in LA.

    Rick : Thanks, George.

  • George : I trust - that none of you men are women. Cause if you are, you're some of the *ugliest* broads I ever seen in my life.

  • George : Anybody else goin' to the Million Man March, it's time to get on the bus!

  • George : The devil don't want the black man to have atonement. Am I right, Pop?

    Jeremiah : You're right.

    George : But, *God* wants us at that March. It's our mission. So, on three, I want you big, strong, black, African men think of Zulu goddamn warriors, to lift this goddamn bus out of that stupid ditch and let's be on our way!

  • George : Whose tribe do you belong to anyway? Shaka Zulu's or Clarence Thomas'?

  • George : Hey, Spike Lee, Junior, are you payin' me for this movie?

    Xavier : No, sir.

    George : Then, I quit. Now, get that damn camera out of my face.

  • George : You gonna be one of them Hollywood hot shots.

    Xavier : I just might surprise you.

    George : Yeah, well, that'll be a nice one. Cause Hollywood thinks they got us all figured out - in the evening news.

    Xavier : Yeah, as long as they sum us up in the Four Rs: Rape, Rape, Rob, and Riot.

  • George : You got any kids?

    Xavier : No, man.

    George : Keep Jimmy in his pants. Keep him locked up tight. Finish school, you know. Get a career. Get married. Then, start having those babies.

    Xavier : I got my priorities straight. You ain't got to worry about me.

  • George : We're here because God Almighty wanted us here. And He don't so much about what you already done. God ask what you gonna do - now.

  • George : The real Million Man March won't start until we black men - take charge of our own lives and start dealin' with crime, drugs, and guns, and gangs, and children having children, and children killin' children - all across this country.

  • Wendell : One positive thing about Farrakhan, he don't have that nigger attitude like Jesse Rainbow Coalition Jackson.

    George : Then you go beggin' for a ride on this bus and you gonna get on the bus and dis Farrakhan and Rev. Jackson. Huh, because of Rev. Jackson, I am somebody.
