- Melvin B. Tolson: Who is the judge?
- Samantha, Henry Lowe, James Farmer Jr., Hamilton Burgess: The judge is God.
- Melvin B. Tolson: Why is he God?
- Samantha, Henry Lowe, James Farmer Jr., Hamilton Burgess: Because he decides who wins or loses. Not my opponeent.
- Melvin B. Tolson: Who is your opponent?
- Samantha, Henry Lowe, James Farmer Jr., Hamilton Burgess: He does not exist.
- Melvin B. Tolson: Why does he not exist?
- Samantha, Henry Lowe, James Farmer Jr., Hamilton Burgess: Because he is a mere dissenting voice of the truth I speak!
- Henry Lowe: A brilliant young woman I know was asked once to support her argument in favor of social welfare. She named the most powerful source imaginable: the look in a mother's face when she cannot feed her children. Can you look that hungry child in the eyes? See the blood on his feet from working barefoot in the cotton fields. Or do you ask his baby sister with her belly swollen from hunger if she cares about her daddy's work ethics?
- James Farmer Jr.: [opening package] Five dollars? Lowe, I got five dollars!
- Henry Lowe: Yeah, I did too. It's called per diem. Want me to hold it for you?
- James Farmer Jr.: No, not MY five dollars.
- Samantha: [walks into the room waving her money in the air] I got five dollars! I got five dollars!
- Henry Lowe: Yeah, me too.
- Samantha: Well, mine is crisp.
- [watches James gulp down a strawberry]
- Samantha: James, this is high tea, all right? We nibble, we do not DEVOUR.
- James Farmer Jr.: How do you know?
- Samantha: [smiling] I don't.
- Melvin B. Tolson: We're holding tryouts for the debate team.
- Henry Lowe: You sure you want somebody like me?
- Melvin B. Tolson: No. That's why you're trying out.
- Henry Lowe: The only thing that matters is the big fish eat little fish, and the color of the fish does not count.
