- Melvin Van Peebles: Sweetback is gonna open big. You with me? Bam! How many theaters can you get me?
- Jerry: Two, if we're lucky.
- Melvin Van Peebles: Just two in LA?
- Jerry: Two in the U S of A, my friend.
- Jerry: They don't run X-rated films, Melvin. You know, you can't even print the title. "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song"? You can't put it in the newspapers. You can't even put it up on the marquee.
- Jerry: So, I gotta be honest here. What we got is an X-rated black film with no stars. No Sidney Poitier. No Dianne Carroll. In this film, a black hustler beats up two white cops, screws a white chick, and gets away with it.
- Melvin Van Peebles: Black folks are gonna fuckin' love it, Jerry. They're gonna love it!
- Jerry: Black folks don't own theaters in America. Old white guys do.
