- Barker: Do you think that follows normal business customs?
- Bernard Garrett: If I was following normal business customs, I'd still be a shoeshine boy in Texas.
- Mrs. Cooper: You can't be here after 6 pm.
- Bernard Garrett: A contractor can't be here after 6 pm, Mrs. Cooper. I'm a resident. I'm moving in.
- Joe Morris: I'm not fucking your wife.
- Bernard Garrett: You go to every table in here to reassure your patrons of that?
- Joe Morris: No. Might have to skip some of them.
- Joe Morris: I don't trust white people.
- Bernard Garrett: How do you even go through life like that?
- Joe Morris: Truth be told, I don't trust black people either.
- Bernard Garrett: You said this was gonna be complicated.
- Joe Morris: What I said was, "This is a bad idea."

- Joe Morris: Then I agreed to drive off the *cliff* with you and here we are. Now, we gotta buy a kid with 90 days of banking experience his own goddamn bank.
- Joe Morris: I'm not the asshole you think I am.
- Bernard Garrett: You a different kind of asshole, huh?

- Joe Morris: When I first laid eyes on you, I thought you were this uptight, square-ass negro who wouldn't know whitey's hand was 'round his neck if he was staring at it in a mirror.
- Bernard Garrett: Glad, I made such a good first impression.
- Joe Morris: Turns out, you a goddamn revolutionary.
- Bernard Garrett: Let's go home.
- Eunice Garrett: They took 'em all, remember?
- Bernard Garrett: Well, let's go somewhere.
- Bernard Garrett: You saw things years before I did. Even about myself. Five minutes after meeting me.
- Matt Steiner: What's the equivalent of a 300-yard tee shot in negotiation?
- Bernard Garrett: A 4 course lunch.
