- Sam: [Last lines in the film. Speaking to Fresh] You're over an hour late. I passed up two easy fish waiting here for you. That makes me poorer by two dollars.
- Sam: Not playing games here, got no time for that. Life's got no time for your little boy games. Leave all that nonsense at home when you come here.
- Sam: Alright, gonna put it on speed today. I ain't stopping to give you any little tips either. You sink or swim on your own today, cause I'm not always gonna be there to hold your hand for ya.
- Sam: Alright, you ready for the real thing? You read to come get it? You ready to come take it from your old man, you ready to be the king?
- [playing chess]
- Sam: [to Fresh] You're playing each piece like losing it hurts. This ain't checkers. You want my king, you got to come get my king. All these other pieces are just the means to do it.
- Corky: [on the phone with Hector] He told you that... and you gave it to him? Oh no, no, no, I ain't mad. You just one stupid motherfucker and you ain't never gonna see a goddamn cent of my business, but I ain't mad. Yo, get fucked Hector!
- Esteban: Where'd you come to find out about all these interesting developments?
- [no response]
- Esteban: Look, time is money and money is time little homey, and right now you are costing me a lot of both.
- Fresh: You gonna get mad.
- Esteban: Look, it would be very difficult to get me any madder than I am already.
- Jake: [shooting people at the playground, everybody starts running] Yeah, go ahead run motherfuckers, *run*! You punk pussy-ass motherfuckers. That's right, go tell somebody you saw something, I'll come back for all you monkey motherfuckers! You pussy-ass punks!
- Corky: [to Fresh] Only reason you ain't the man is you still too goddamn little, but, when you get bigger, you gonna be the man.
- [playing cards, Corky turns to talk to Fresh, Darryl draws a card]
- Corky: What the fuck are you doing?
- Darryl: I was picking up.
- Corky: Don't do shit behind my back. Why the fuck you gonna be doing that?
- Darryl: Corky man, it was my turn, man, we just playing, it's just me, baby.
- Corky: I don't give a fuck who you is, be my mother, motherfucker, I don't play that shit!
- Darryl: Sorry, alright?
- Corky: Yeah, yeah, you be sorry. You do that shit, just do it in front of my face.
- [pause]
- Corky: Now, am I free to finish my little transaction here without every nigger be doing some shit behind my back?
- Corky: You know what this is? *Look at it!* What is it?
- Fresh: Look like base.
- Corky: That's right, little man. Five thousand dollars worth of pure base cocaine. You didn't even look to see what you was carrying, did you? You're just a little kid in way over his head, I know that. But Esteban gotta be sent a message about horning in on my business.
- [picks up a chain]
- Corky: I'm afraid you gonna have to be my little telegram.
- Fresh: [to Chuckie] Goddamn, you must be the stupidest nigger I know. I don't know how you be tying your own goddamn shoelaces, as stupid as you is!
- Esteban: [after coming back from killing James] So you gonna tell me that he's lying about James too, right?
- Nichole: I can see whoever I want.
- Esteban: No. Not exactly. Now you can see whoever you want, except for James. You can't see... you can't see him no more. Now maybe you can visit him in his new place of residence, but you know, I don't think he's going to be so much fun anymore.
- Esteban: [getting arrested after the cops found drugs under his mattress] You think I'm stupid enough to have two kilos lying around the fuckin' house? I've been set up, man!
- Jake: [to Red, about some guy who owes him 50 dollars] I'ma grease that motherfucker like Sunday bacon, you hear me motherfucker? I'ma go drop that motherfucker! I'ma *drop* him, man! I'ma go *drop* him!
- James: [to Fresh] You the little man running the street? Shit... Next thing I know niggers in diapers packing tec-9 and be trying to take over my business.
- Esteban: [to Herbie] Chill, homes, and take it easy on the gas or I'ma stop the fuckin' car and cut your fuckin' foot off, you hear me?
- Corky: [to Fresh] So I'm hearing, like all week I'm hearing your little friend talking you running base for Esteban. All over the motherfucking street, "We running that base for Esteban."
- Fresh: [to Hector] Corky losing crazy dollars, man, he needs the shit today. He sent for me to say he ain't gonna forget his friends that helped him when he was in trouble, and he ain't gonna forget who didn't.
- Fresh: It was fun, dad, stupid fun, you seen that nigger's face...
- Sam: Chess ain't fun, boy, how many times do I gotta tell you that? Don't you listen to a word I say?
- Fresh: Maybe if I seen you more...
- Sam: Well you don't, so you be well served to retain some of the knowledge I'm imparting to you, rather than giving me all this hard ass street attitude bullshit.
- Lt. Perez: [to Fresh] Alright man, you know and I know that I can't hold you here on this, so you either are innocent or you're hell of a lot smarter than you look.
