Quotes5

  • Kayo: [to Marcus] What's up delivery boy? What the fuck you doin' here? Did somebody place an order around this motherfucker? Hell naw, motherfucker! Gimme this goddamn ball. See ya later sucka.
  • Spyro: [to Marcus] What the fuck you want?
  • Marcus: I was just watchin'.
  • Spyro: Take your ass over there and watch.
  • Marvin Bookman: Now, son, don't go trying to get your own justice. It just ain't right.
  • Marcus: Yeah, we'll see.
  • Kenny Thompson: I'm just gonna run down and make a phone call to my lady and I'll be right back.
  • Marcus: Why don't you just use the phone in the store? The Bookmans will let you.
  • Kenny Thompson: Nah, man, I need my privacy in a phone booth. You know what I'm sayin'.
  • Marcus: [mockingly] Oh, the lovebirds need their privacy. Oh, how cute.
  • Kenny Thompson: Oh, man. You just want to come so you can take notes. Cool out.
  • Marcus: I bet you were dunkin' on him like Jordan! Did you stick your tongue out'?
  • Marvin Bookman: It's unreal. We practically raised that boy's mother. These are good people. It's a damn tragedy.
  • Detective Waits: Do you know if he was in a gang?
  • Marvin Bookman: Oh, not Kenny Thompson! Marcus, was Kenny in some kind of trouble with the gangs?
  • Marcus: I don't know.
  • Detective Slatten: Guess it would be a waste of time to ask whether you saw anything?
  • Marvin Bookman: Why do you say that?
  • Detective Slatten: Nobody ever sees anything around here. They bury their dead and nobody ever sees anything.
  • Marvin Bookman: Is that so?
  • Gracie Bookman: Marvin.
  • Marvin Bookman: I'm talkin' to this detective.
  • Detective Slatten: So talk to me. Anything you say is between us. Nobody else has to know.
  • Marvin Bookman: Suppose I didn't see the gunmen, but I did get the license number of the car. Blue coupe. Broken right tail light.
  • Detective Slatten: Looks to me like you had in mind to give me this.
  • Marvin Bookman: These are good people. The boy's mother, she's never been in any trouble. She runs the beauty parlor across the street there.
  • [the detectives leave]
  • Gracie Bookman: Was that the smart thing to do, Mr. Bookman?
  • Marvin Bookman: Probably not, Mrs. Bookman. You think I was wrong?
  • Gracie Bookman: It's got to be you, doesn't it, Marvin?
  • Marvin Bookman: Finally, it's got to be me. And you know something? I feel damn good about it.
  • [Marcus gets angry]
  • Marvin Bookman: Now, son, don't go tryin' to get your own justice. It just ain't right.
  • Marcus: Yeah, we'll see.
  • [he leaves]
  • Gracie Bookman: Well, aren't you going after him?
  • Marvin Bookman: And do what, honey? Lock him up until he cools down? He's a good kid, he'll come to his senses. He just needs a little time.
