"All you want is them skinny and fine bitches all the damn time." "No, but you miss the blessing which is the big girl, man." "Because it's all that." "They got jobs, and they'll buy you shit." "You can do shit with a big girl like drop her off, keep her car all damn day, and pick her up when you get ready." "Big girls are all that." "They're freaky, man." "I had this one girl, big bitch suck my dick so good, she was sucking like she was drowning and my nuts had oxygen." "It's passion." "You just can't let 'em get on top, though."

"As a matter of fact, I don't need your shit." "Keep your shit." "I'll walk with my own, all right?" "Hot damn!" "I have never seen such a fine selection of beauties." "Who wants some Red Beans on your rice?" "Don't come in here with that mess, you old kook." "Damn, it looks like a "Soul Train" audition up in here." " Get out." " Why you acting like that?" "I just want something to eat." "I'll eat..." "I will suck your toenail polish off." "No men, especially drunk, stinking ones." "And zip up your pants." "Men!" "What are we going to do with them?"

"God, don't you see it?" "We give them so much of ourselves." "And for what?" "So they can abuse us and betray our trust." "Alicia, what are you talking about?" "I'm talking about the world we leave for our children." " Or should I say, this mess?" " Oh, girl." "Lighten up." "This one has a near-death experience, and all of a sudden, she's Al Sharpton." "No, my eyes are just open." "Ratia, you have a beautiful son." "Where do you see him?" "What you talking about, Alicia?" "What are you hopes, your dreams?" "What would he be?" "A doctor, a lawyer, a freaking Indian chief, what?" "I don't know." "I want him to be a baller like his daddy, make a lot of money and make his mama proud." "Well, then, more than likely, he'll be dead before he's 16." "Alicia." "That's the reality of it, Nike." "He doesn't really have a daddy, and he won't grow up." "She's his "daddy-mama" rolled into one." "When are we gonna realize this doesn't work?" "You know by the time that baby's walking and talking, his daddy'll be missing in action." "And then what?" "It's to the streets and fellas like Black Zeus and Keenan." "I know you ain't talking about my man." "Nike, listen to yourself." "Do you really want Matthew to follow in his footsteps?" "To see him riding shotgun for some hoodlum?" "Of course not." "Well, that's all he'll learn from Keenan." "He'll either lose his life, or take someone else's... maybe his." "Okay, Alicia." "What's the point of all of this?" "We got to save our men from themselves." "And how do you expect we do that?" "She's on Prozac." "This bitch need a hug." "Ladies, ladies, there's only one way to stop the drugs, violence and destruction... through total and complete abstinence from sex." "(laughter, jeers)" "I told you that bitch needs a hug." "Let me get this straight." "No sex?" "No sex." "Oh, my Lord." "This girl done lost her mind." "I don't know about you, girlfriend, but I need a tune-up every night." "Okay?" "Or at least once a week, come on." "I think she's right." "She's right." "Women hold the morality of the people." "And centuries ago, women had that power, a power that was stolen from them by the men." "But I see now, my sisters." "We have no choice but to take it back." "You all know she's right." "At least let us smell it, Alicia." "Okay, okay, so how do we..." "I can't even say it." "No matter how hard their wankers get, no matter how hard they beg and plead, we stand firm." "Okay, well, how do we..." "satisfy ourselves?" "I mean, I ain't no "vagiterian" girl, if you know what I mean." "And, if we don't have sex with our men, they'll just get it from somewhere else." "Not if we stick together like sisters." "We'll remain true to ourselves and each other." " No sex!" " No sex!" "No sex." " Is this the only way?" " Nike...!" "Okay, okay." "No sex." "Tomorrow ladies, we hit 'em right where it hurts." "We take back the streets, starting with the court." "Okay, now I know you're crazy." "We cannot take the court." "We can and we will."

"Female voice:" "I don't know how you can sleep." "How you gonna try and ignore me?" "Man, who said that?" "I did, that's who." "You're getting cold, girl." "Ooh, you're getting colder." "Ice cold." "Now you're hot." "Who are you?" "I'm your vagina." "You know, your better half?" "No way, I can't believe my cootchie's talking to me." "You damn sure don't want to talk to their cootchies." "She sure as hell don't." "We got our own problems." "Girl, so do we." "Look at what we've been reduced to." "We all have needs that have to be fulfilled, and this pussy protest has gone on long enough." "We got to be dreaming." "Girls, this is more like a pussy nightmare." " What do you want?" " Sit your horny ass down." "We want you to get your asses out of this park and get back with your man." " Well, what about Alicia?" " The hell with Alicia." "This is bigger than Alicia." "Look, we could all sneak out, find our men ride them for two or three hours, and get back without being missed." "No, you know we can't do that." "Look, we want out." "This is unnatural." "Spirit #2:" "Tell me about it." "If you don't get us some dick right now, we're gonna hunt your ass down every day until you do." "(mocking) "I will not sleep with my sister's man."" "Yeah, right." "I'll take anybody's man right about now." "And that dildo chafes, too." "Don't judge what you don't know." "You should be proud, Alicia." "What's on your mind?" "I don't know." "I was just thinking, maybe, after the concert tomorrow we should just give it up." "Give it up?" "Baby, listen to me." "Look at what you've done." "The park is cleaner, and you have shown the true power of women." "Not just here, but throughout all of Miami." "You can't give in yet." "I know it's been rough, but we've come too far, child." "Too far." "I know, but I just don't think they'll ever surrender the guns." "Well, in the words of Jesse Jackson," ""Keep hope alive."" "Uh-oh." "Here comes trouble." "Mama:" "Hear what he has to say." "You might be surprised." " What do you want, Cal?" " Just to talk, Alicia." "I heard this episode already." "Look, I want to talk about ending this." "All right, just me and you." "Dinner?" "I hear you like cheesecake." "All right, we'll talk, but later." "Babalucchi, what are we going to do about the girls, man?" "Yeah, dawg, what are we going to do about these girls?" "How the fuck should I know?" "Yo, I don't know about you, but I miss my girl." "Yeah, dawg, me too." "Know what?" "Shut up and stop bitching." "I don't want to hear anybody talk about how much they miss their girls." "Harden up, man." "Stop acting like a bunch of bitches." "Get some balls, motherfuckers." "So you miss your girl too, huh?" "Is it that obvious?" "(together) Yeah." "Yo, what is that?" "Man, this is something I picked up from the shop down the street, you know what I'm saying?" "Erotic playing cards." " Here, take a look at them, man." " I don't want to see that shit." "Man... you got to take your time with the cards, man." " Yo, this is getting out of hand."

" Man in cap:" "That's true." " I think I know what we got to do." "Keenan:" "What's that?" "Girl, she was with him last night." " Who was with who?" " Alicia." "Man, don't tell me Alicia was with Black Zeus." "Yes she was." "There she comes." "(women mutter)" "Girl, what is that look for?" " Girl, we saw your ass last night." " What are you talking about?" "You, Zeus, leaving with him." "What the fuck was that all about?" " It's not what you think." " "It's not what you think"?" "You got everybody believing you, but yet you're sneaking off with Black Zeus?" "Ain't nobody sneaking off with no damn Black Zeus." "Man, whatever." "Look, when this is all over, we can all get on with our lives." " Just like that?" " Just like that!" "(angry muttering)" "I can't believe these bitches." "Yo, homeboy, I know we've had beef in the past, we got issues straight up, I ain't gonna front on you, but this shit with this boycott and this pussy thing?" "That's some serious shit." "A nigga's heart's hurting behind this." "You telling me man, 'cause right now, dawg?" "My girl, that's up in here?" "Yo, I was about to make her wifey, son." " Oh, for real, wifey, huh?" " A wifey, son." "What do you think I'm going to do after this?" "Think I'm going to do this now?" "I'll tell you one thing, homeboy, we always talked about us over them." "Right now, she's choosing them over us." "You think after this shit come back correct, we gonna be the same?" " Uh-huh." " Ain't gonna happen, player." "Yo, you know what they say?" "You can take the girl out the 'hood, but you can't take the 'hood out the girl." "And this shit here's going to ruin a fucking good thing, I'm for real." "What are those girls doing over there, my chocolate chip cookie?" "Oh, don't worry about that, baby." "They just some confused ho's." "That's why I'm with you, my Viking princess." " You see it?"

"Love got boy crammed in cell, big slam" "Boy, girl, girl, boy" "Love, hate, pain, joy..." "Passenger:" "What's this shit?" "Driver:" "You know what?" "Keep your motherfucking shit!" "Boy hangs out with homeboys" "St. Ides drunk in streets, make noise" "Girl pass by, with nice thighs" "Just right size, girl catch boy's eyes" "Boy put down mack, girl take mack back...

"The time has come for us to make a move." "Are you ready?" "Yeah, that's right." "You heard the man." "It's time for us to be the soldiers that we are, and do what we got to do." "Y'all boys know I'm ready." "I'm always down for my dawgs." "Good, then pay attention." "Babalucchi:" "All right, dawgs, listen up." "This is where Lourdes will be during the party." "Alicia will be around in this area during the party." "The crowd will be over here chilling, around the stairs." "On my signal, I need y'all to come in, sneak in behind 'em and take 'em by surprise." "When I give the signal, come up through the rear." "Make sure you got your straps ready." "'Cause this shit is going to finish tonight." "(guns click)" "They won't know what hit 'em." " Keenan:" "Let's do it." " Man in braids:" "Let's do it, man." "So you ready to do this, or you scared?"
