Deborah Johnson
- Deborah Johnson: I did not expect you to be shy.
- Fred Hampton: I'm not shy.
- Deborah Johnson: [Scoffs] Okay.
- Deborah Johnson: [In bed] Uh, your feet's cold. Why your feet so cold? No, get 'em off of me!
- Fred Hampton: My feet cold, your feet cold.
- Deborah Johnson: No, unless you... They're like...
- Fred Hampton: But that's Socialism, man. Well, you gotta warm 'em up, though. How you think Mao did the Long March, huh? The Chinese would warm these feet left and right.
- Deborah Johnson: You saying I'm a Foot Capitalist? You really gonna' call me a Foot Capitalist, Chairman?
- Fred Hampton: The poet. What a pleasant surprise.
- Deborah Johnson: I saw your ad in the paper, lookin' for a new speechwriter. I figured I'd better come lend a hand.
- Fred Hampton: Well, that must have been a misprint. See, I don't write speeches, sister. I just get up on stage and speak truth to the people.
- Deborah Johnson: Oh, it shows. The lack of preparation, that is.
- Fred Hampton: It got you here.
- Deborah Johnson: Thought your speech was... was really interesting.
- Fred Hampton: Well, thank you, sister.
- Deborah Johnson: Do you like poetry?
- Fred Hampton: I mean, it's cool, but as Che Guevara said... 'Words are beautiful, but action is supreme,' you dig?
- Deborah Johnson: I dig. Right on. But you were up on that stage using words, so... Maybe next time, choose 'em a bit more carefully, instead of tearin' down the folk who you call yourself recruitin', just because they demonstrate a little Black pride. But just so you know, you are a poet.
