Quotes9

  • Bill Harris: Remember this: Good things - do not come - to those who wait.
  • Bill Harris: What is this? Some kind of personal crusade? Or, are you really gonna make a movie?
  • Melvin Van Peebles: I'm makin' a movie muthafucka. The first black power film.
  • Bill Harris: Hey, what about people power, man?
  • Melvin Van Peebles: No. You people got the power. All you gotta do is get yourself a haircut, you can go establishment anytime you want.
  • Bill Harris: And you're black forever.
  • Melvin Van Peebles: Dig it.
  • Bill Harris: You just gotta remember the golden rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules.
  • Melvin Van Peebles: I want this muthafucka to be a living workshop. I want 50% of the people on the crew to be getting experience, to be third world folks.
  • Bill Harris: Unions are lily white. They'll never go for it.
  • Melvin Van Peebles: Fuck 'em.
  • Melvin Van Peebles: Jump over the wall and run down here, man.
  • Bill Harris: It's too fuckin' steep!
  • Melvin Van Peebles: Hey, man, this is art, baby.
  • Bill Harris: It's not a porno. It's a social statement. Tell her, Mel.
  • Ginnie: A social statement? I'm through with both of your all's fuckin' asses. I'm outta here!
  • Melvin Van Peebles: No, no, wait a minute. Sister, listen, listen, listen, listen. We have been marginalized sexually for years. We've been Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben. We're never had a Marilyn Monroe. We've never had our own Mae West. This thing is gonna be breakin' all of the taboos.
  • Big T: It's about gettin' the man's *foot* out your ass.
  • Melvin Van Peebles: No, this could be totally revolutionary...
  • Bill Harris: Fuck the film, man! Fuck it! Fuck the fuckin' film, man! This is our crew behind bars on bull shit charges. Doesn't that bother you?
  • Melvin Van Peebles: Yeah! It's been botherin' me for 400 years.
  • Bill Harris: The Ratings Board, they're just going to want to cut out a few tits. They're gonna wanna get rid of a few swear words. Just get your *R* and go.
  • Melvin Van Peebles: You know what? It's an all-white jury.
  • Howard 'Howie' Kaufman: Listen to me, this Board has been doing this since the year zero. Somebody has to tell parents what kids can see and what they can't see!
  • Bill Harris: This was a movie, by the brothers, for the brothers, about the brothers. And you know what? We're all brothers.
