- Jack Spade: [looks at musicians] Who are these guys?
- John Slade: They're my theme music. Every good hero should have some!
- Jack Spade: You? You're Mr. Big? But I thought you were...
- Mr. Big: What? Above playing an exploitation villain? Well, you're wrong! Lots of famous people have done exploitation movies. Uh, Shelley Winters was in, uh...
- Flyguy: Cleopatra Jones.
- Mr. Big: Uh, Angie Dickinson.
- Jack Spade: Uh, Big Bad Mama!
- Mr. Big: Big Bad Mama. Jamie Lee Curtis?
- Leonard: Uh... Halloween!
- Flyguy: Right, right, right!
- Mr. Big: And now I'm Mr. Big. And I'm sorry, boys, but there ain't gonna be a sequel to this one.
- John Slade: Don't try it, Big.
- [Big turns around and gets shot dead. Slade walks in, his clothes tattered and singed]
- John Slade: I got you, sucka.
- Hammer: Check this out. We are businessmen now.
- John Slade: Give me a break. You two big motherfuckers in here making red beans and grits is business?
- Hammer: Damn, Slade. You sure know how to piss on a man's parade.
- John Slade: I'm talkin' about one last score. A chance to take it to the man, one more time. Are you with me?
- Slammer: What the fuck; I ain't killed nobody in a long time.
- Ma Bell: [Talking about her son risking his life] I'm so glad you're here. I need you. I really need you.
- John Slade: Well, I've been pretty horny myself lately.
- Jack Spade: [showing Slade a photo] Do you remember that woman?
- John Slade: Yeah, I sure do. That's Bell Brown. We used to call her "hot chocolate." She had the softest eyes. She had these big old round, brown, firm ti... You know, she would do this little trick with her mouth where she would...
- Jack Spade: That's my mother, man!
- John Slade: She was a good woman, your mother. She was. Absolutely a good woman.
- John Slade: Do you know what I mean, brother?
- Newsman: Well, actually, I don't. I didn't grow up around blacks. Now, I grew up in the suburbs. My dad was a lawyer. My mom was a doctor. And all my friends were white. I mean, everybody used to tease me 'cause I didn't speak *jive*. And I couldn't dance to save my life. But, the only step I really knew was like that step that Springsteen does in the "Dancing in the Dark" video. I love Springsteen.
- John Slade: The reason you been away so long is 'cause Mr. Big shot your ass through the grease and put your black butt in this joint. At one time, you were the biggest and baddest player out there, man. Remember?
- Flyguy: Yeah, I remember. I was *Pimp* of the Year.
