Quotes4

  • Bobbie: You always makin' big plans for tomorrow. You know why? Because you always fuckin' up today.
  • Bobbie: My mama used to say that America's the big melting pot. You bring it to a boil and all the scum rises to the top.
  • Bobbie: You know, Jack, we could make some money together. Except you're always blowin' it. You know - gambling, gettin' high, showing off.
  • Jack: I gotta have fun, you know, baby ?
  • Bobbie: Yeah, yeah, I know. You're always makin' big big plans for tomorrow, and you know why ? 'Cause you're always fucking up today ! Look at that white girl, that Julie you started out with, she's all messed up now. All your girls are so messed up - except me. I can tell a lot of things about you. Some things you'd never put into your head. But you can't be so sure. My mom used to say that America is like a big melting pot, because she used to say that when you bring it to the boil, all the scum rises to the top.
  • [she laughs sarcastically]
  • Bobbie: So maybe there's still hope for you yet, Jack.
  • [she suddenly stops laughing]
  • Bobbie: You listening to me ?
  • [short pause]
  • Bobbie: Shit. You don't understand any kind of people. Maybe that's your problem. You sure don't understand women at all. And a pimp is supposed to know about women. If you was a good pimp, you'd have hit me by now, you'd have done something. But I can just lay here, and talk forever, and you won't hear a single word. Like you don't even speak english ! You're lost in your big big plans, but I know about you, Jack. Jack?
  • Jack: You sure can talk, can't you, baby?
  • Bobbie: If you were a good pimp you would've hit me by now!
