"What's that supposed to mean?" "It means I'll help you." "Yes!" "Don't kiss me, man." "I got no guarantees." "What are you going to do?" "I got an idea, but you're going to owe me." "That's what I'm talking about!" "You in my house." "What's up with you?" "Oh, what you want now?" "Pete, I don't need no pick." "You ready?" "You ready?" "You call that "D"?" "Where'd you go?"

"Now, that's not right." "That's not right." "I didn't lose the money." "I doubled the money, and I still got it wrong." "How can that be?" "She said some crazy shit." "She said sometimes when you win, you actually lose or tie, but when you tie, you actually win, or some shit." "You got to extract something from an organic globule." "Brother, I only have four words for you..." "Listen to the woman." "What the hell does that mean?" "I tried to listen." "You talked me out of it!" "I presented an option, and you took it." "You should have listened to her, not me." "I should listen to you now?" "Yeah." "I'm giving you advice." "Who should I listen to?" "You're a grown man." "Figure that out yourself." "Oh, shit." "Ah!"

"I respect you guys." "See you later." "Yo, man, you all right?" "Gloria is not coming back." "Yeah, I know." "You know, she's left me before, lots of times." "She'll get to the door," "I'll talk fast, she'll come back." "Or she'll get out the door, be gone a couple of days, and I'll play her a song, and, you know, she'll come back." "This is it." "She's gone." "Maybe you two are better off without each other." "Yeah." "Tell me something, Sidney." "If I listen to the woman, do I have to agree with her, too?" "You listen." "That's a start." "I don't want to stress you out." "Hmm hmm Doo doo doo doo" "Mmm hmmm" "I got to get a job." "Can you get me a job?" "Have you got any references?" "You." "You're going to be all right." "You're starting to hear the music." "I can hear Jimi now?" "I didn't say that." "You can't hear Jimi." "Jimi ain't music?" "It is, but you can't hear Jimi." "Don't be dissin' Jimi." "You just learned that word." "How did you know you put that pass up high enough, I could slam it?" "Even the sun shines on a dog's ass some days." "On a dog's ass?" "Want to play me?" "Don't start." "Hitting one dunk don't mean you can play." "Putting a cat in an oven don't make it a biscuit." "Your mama is so stupid, it takes her 60..." "It takes her 2 hours to watch 60 minutes." "Stop hurting yourself." "Hey, man." "Smooth, baby." "You dropped a 20 on them?" "Yeah." "If I don't take care of my brothers, who will?" "I'll bet you 20 on our game." "I'm not playing you."
