Top Sinners Quotes
Annie: There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true it can pierce the veil between life and death. Conjuring spirits from the past and the future. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they call them firekeepers. And in West Africa, they’re called griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities, but it also attracts evil.
Hogwood: You boys twins?
Stack: Nah, we cousins.
Sammie Moore: “No temptation has overtaken you, except what is common to mankind. God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you’re tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”
Jedidiah: You keep dancing with the devil, one day, he’s going to follow you home.
Smoke: Chicago ain’t s**t but Mississippi with tall buildings instead of plantations.
Stack: And that’s why we came back home. Figured we might as well deal with the devil we know.
Stack: Look at that sky. That’s a mighty fine day to be free, ain’t it? Our own juke joint. For us, and by us. Just like we always wanted.
Smoke: See, we talking numbers now. And numbers always got to be in conversation with each other. You understand? You got to negotiate.
Smoke: Terry? Boy, how you been?
Terry: I was doing better before you shot me in the a**.
Stack: Every c**ze got a button on it, towards the top. If you want to keep a woman, you find it, lick that. Not too hard. Not too soft, either.
Delta Slim: [referring to Sammie] I got socks older than this here boy. What the hell he know about the blues?
Sammie Moore: I can show you better than I can tell you.
Stack: It’s the grand opening of our new joint. Club Juke. We going to have us a battle of the blues. It’s going to be a real ring-a-ding-ding. Just for us. Y’all ready to eat? Y’all ready to drank? Y’all ready to sweat till y’all stank? Alright. We going to get funky like a Mississippi donkey, y’all. Get a drink on the Twins when you get there.
Pearline: I’m married, by the way.

Stack: It’s going to be a night you never forget.
Mary: You know, I waited for you.
Stack: Yeah, well, I don’t know why in the hell you’d go and do that.
Mary: Because you told me you loved me.
Stack: Yeah, well, I told you to stay the f*** away from me too, but I guess you didn’t hear that part.
Mary: I heard you. I heard you loud and clear, but then you stuck your tongue in my c**ze and f***ed me so hard, I figured you changed your mind.
Mary: Rot in hell, Stack.
Stack: S**t, I will. You know, and save your trifling a** a room. Shit, right next to me.
Delta Slim: See, white folks, they like the blues just fine. They just don’t like the people who make it.
Annie: Your money come with blood.
Smoke: All money come with blood, baby.
Smoke: I been all over this world. In cars, ships, trains. I seen men die ways I didn’t even know was possible. I ain’t never saw no roots, no demons, no ghosts, no magic. Just power. And only money can get you that.
Annie: Soil of my soil, bone of my bone, blood of my blood. I bless you.
Pearline: So y’all cousins through blood? But you seem like such a nice young man.
Sammie Moore: I ain’t always nice. Ain’t that young, either.
Sammie Moore: Excuse me, ma’am. I don’t think you should be here. You see, I’m with the Twins.
Mary: With the Twins? Boy, if you don’t get the f*** out my face.
Sammie Moore: What are you?
Mary: What am I? I’m a human being.
Mary: [to Stack] I didn’t want no white man. I didn’t want to be white. I wanted to be with you.
Mary: Why can’t you just say that?
Stack: Say what? Hmm? That I love you? That I think about you every day? I just wanted to keep you someplace safe. And that was never going to be here. And that was never going to be with me. Never.
Delta Slim: [to Sammie] Blues wasn’t forced on us like that religion. Nah, son, we brought this with us from home. It’s magic, what we do. It’s sacred and big.
