-
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 : 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.
