- Annie Shorty: Those girls do everything you ask them to do. They practice hard, they get good grades, they win.
- Kenny Williams: Then you tell me why I'm pissed off.
- Annie Shorty: Because you're a black man in America.
- Kenny Williams: That's right. I'm good and pissed off.
- Annie Shorty: Well then get over it! You're talking to Indian people here. Get over it, get on with it or get the hell out!
- Annie Shorty: Most of these kids have never met an African American before.
- Kenny Williams: Well, I met my first Native American yesterday.
- Annie Shorty: Indian.
- Kenny Williams: Black.
- Kenny Williams: What the hell's going on?
- Annie Shorty: They don't understand why you're pissed off all the time.
- Kenny Williams: Look, I've had to deal with Norville, Homer, Shirleen.
- Annie Shorty: Shirleen?
- Kenny Williams: Yeah, she went out and got herself pregnant.
- Annie Shorty: She's not perfect, she made a mistake, but to you she's just another dark-skinned girl dragging down the race.
- Kenny Williams: I didn't say that.
- Annie Shorty: You thought it.
- Annie Shorty: What are you doing to those girls?
- Kenny Williams: I'm teaching them to succeed.
- Annie Shorty: By running them into the ground?
- Kenny Williams: Well, it beats running off a mountain and screaming 'shit!'
- [referring to Carla's joke]
- Annie Shorty: Oh, so you know all about Indians now? You know about 'unity,' 'harmony.'
- [said in Dine]
- Kenny Williams: What?
- Annie Shorty: Unity? Harmony? All of us together?
- Kenny Williams: Look, what is this, multiple choice? I don't get it.
- Annie Shorty: That's an understatement.
- Annie Shorty: This is black mail.
- [referring to Newell's complaint letter]
- Kenny Williams: Well, this black male has had enough!
- Annie Shorty: God help me, I wanna beat that bastard. Tell me this is still about education.
- [at the championship game]
- Kenny Williams: Ever think of cutting that hair?
- [to Francie]
- Annie Shorty: For traditionals, it's like cutting off your thoughts.
