Quotes4

  • [the class has decided to leave a time capsule to be remembered by]
  • African Student: Excuse me, please, but what is a time capsule?
  • Kim Reese: A time capsule is when people bury something that's important to them and then dig them up later.
  • Ron Johnson: Like dogs with bones.
  • [pause]
  • Ron Johnson: Or women with grudges.
  • [Ron and Dwayne are dressed as women to hide from cocaine dealers that are chasing them]
  • Ron Johnson: You look ridiculous.
  • Dwayne Cleophus Wayne: Well, nobody's gonna mistake you for Miss America.
  • Ron Johnson: I'm talking about you lipstick it clashes with your blouse.
  • [after returning from the Island Police station dressed as women because they're hiding from drug dealers]
  • Ron Johnson: You got my butt pinched by some dock worker.
  • Dwayne Cleophus Wayne: A butt pinch hurts a lot less then a bullet wound.
  • Ron Johnson: [snatching off his wig and slamming it angryly on the couch] At least a bullet is something you can take like a man.
  • Winifred 'Freddie' Brooks: Ron, you are looking at a woman on a mission.
  • Ron Johnson: You're looking at a man on a mission. I have to go talk to Kim.
  • Winifred 'Freddie' Brooks: Um, wait. I want us to get past our petty differences. There is something that I would like to share with you, brother, and it's from right here, the ol' ticker. My heart.
  • Ron Johnson: Oh. Okay.
  • Winifred 'Freddie' Brooks: I don't like you, Ron. I never have. You're a greasy worm with the charm of a cockroach. Whoo!
  • [Starts moving around and shaking]
  • Winifred 'Freddie' Brooks: Ah, giving birth, giving birth!
  • [Places her palms on her forehead]
  • Winifred 'Freddie' Brooks: Oh, man! Telling the truth is so freeing and it's so forgiving because I forgive myself for not telling you this years ago.
