- Sweet Pea: Dear Lord, Please forgive us for all the sins we have brought upon us. And look down upon us with forgiveness for the the sins we will have in the future. I know you understand that niggas ain't perfect, but we try lord. We try to keep our heads up in bad times. This is a bad time, show us the way. And if you can't show us the way, then forgive us for being lost.

- Jody: There's this psychiatrist, a lady named Frances Cress Welsing. She has a theory about the black man in America. She says because of the system of racism in this country, the black man is meant to think of himself as a baby. A not yet fully formed being, who has not yet realized his full potential. To support her claim, she offers the following: First off, what does a black man call his woman? Mama. Secondly, what does a black man call his closest acquaintances? His boys. And finally, what does a black man call his place of residence? The crib.
- Rodney: Jody? Nigga, you Jody? Vette ain't here, cuz. Come to get your son? Come get his muthafuckin' ass. I ain't trying to be his daddy no way.
- [after Jody left]
- Rodney: I can't *believe* this muthafucka had the audacity to come to *my* muthafuckin' house, after he done *talked* shit to me when I was locked up, *fucked* my bitch, had a baby by her. Man, get the heat, cuz. Fuck this nigga.
- Juanita: You ain't stupid, Yvette. You're just in love with a man. When you in love with a man, he can make you feel high. So high you just be in outer space. But a man can also make you feel low. Real low. And he can keep you there. Keep you down. If you let him. Don't even worry about feeling used. It's just temporary. Everyone gets used. Men use women, women use men. Just face the fact you're going to be used. But if you feel so used, you ain't got nothing left, if the man ain't giving you the energy you need to love his ass... even when he's acting like a bastard, you need to let it go. If you ain't got nothing to give yourself or your baby... you won't have it to give to him.
- Sweet Pea: Want me to take him out?
- Jody: Nah. Let the nigga breathe. He make my momma unhappy, we will make his ass bleed. On the real. Make him feel the steel. Long as she happy, he got his life. Won't be no strife. And I hope his ass hear me, too.
- Melvin: I hear you. You know the problem with you little niggas? You think you know everything about the world, but you don't know shit.

- Yvette: I hear.
- Jody: You still got that tracking thing on?
- Yvette: Yeah.
- Jody: Cool. We'll find it in like 30 minutes. Call the po-po's and tell them what's up.
- Yvette: I ain't doing that.
- Jody: Why not?
- Yvette: Because I know who stole my car.
- Jody: Who? Tell me who stole your car baby and I'll go get it back for you.
- Yvette: I stole my car Jody.

- Jody: What? This my house too!
- Juanita: Your house? Your house? Do you pay any bills up in this motherfucker? Do you fix anything around here? When's the last time you paid a bill? All you do is eat, sleep and shit!

- Jody: Look at yourself. How many millionaires you got on? I count at least three.
- Sweet Pea: What are you talking about?
- Jody: Pea! Look around, man. You see what I see? I see money. Look at my man over there selling T-shirts. A brother selling pies and papers. Cake Man over there.Everybody moving, making money. Right? While we're standing still, being broke. I figured all this shit out, man. All this. This world moves forward through transactions. Commerce, nigga. The exchange of goods and services. All the real ballin', successful folks are sellers. All the broke-ass people playing catch-up are buyers. I ain't trying to go out like that. I'm gonna be a seller. I'm gonna get my own business. Change the game.

- Jody: What? Yo' ass in jail! You can't say nothin' about me and mine, homeboy. Look, don't call my *fuckin'* house no more! My girl ain't feeling you. It's not happening, cuz! Concentrate on not dropping the soap, you bitch-ass nigga!
