Slick Charles: You know what, Fontaine? You got this Rambo-esque look about you. So I’m going to let you go and do your thing, and I’m going to just sit right here in the car. Fresh air might be good for a n**** though.

Slick Charles: Girl, you done lost your rabbit-a** mind? Why you got a gun?

Tech: You don’t want to do this, man. We’re everywhere.
Fontaine: N****, who the f*** is “we”?

Fontaine: Slick, go see what else is in that van.
Slick Charles: Why me?
Fontaine: N****, you nimble.
Slick Charles: Calling me nimble? I ain’t nimble, m**herf***er. I’m a Taurus.

Fontaine: Straighter is greater. What the f*** does that mean?
Frog: It means it’s on your head, in your head, by your head, on your head, and under your head. In the land of the blind, Foxy Brown.

Frog: Where does everybody go to get answers?
Yo-Yo: Church. Church?
Frog: The big man will always point the way. Every time.

Yo-Yo: Ooh, Nancy Drew ain’t got s**t on me.

Slick Charles: Let me out of this m**herf***er. Been in this van for a whole goddamn hour.

Slick Charles: I ain’t going to church. Me and Jesus ain’t been right since I pimped this girl named Mary.

Yo-Yo: This ain’t no vanilla missionary s**t. This some sex dungeon, mint-chocolate-chip bukkake s**t. Y’all realize what they doing, right?
Fontaine: Experimenting on n****s. I was there.
Yo-Yo: N****, mind control! The chicken. The communion. The perm cream. All to f*** with how we feel, what we do, what we think. To control us.

Slick Charles: Do it matter? They’re Clockwork Orangeing n****s.

Yo-Yo: We got to blow the lid off this s**t.

Slick Charles: A whole goddamn Thriller video in this m**herf***er. Let’s go!

Nixon: A pimp, a ho, and a drug dealer walk into a bar.

Nixon: We’re researching, experimenting, doing science. And for the greater good, I might add.
Yo-Yo: Oh, so you Kevin Bacon?
Slick Charles: Hollow Man, m**herf***er.

Nixon: America was an experiment. A half-baked idea cooked up by aristocratic idealogues living in mansions built by slaves. And when they checked out, they left us with the bill. A country constantly at war with itself. No common ground, no dialogue, no peace. If we’re all on the same page, then we’re not ripping each other’s heads off, and all of this has a chance to work.

Nixon: And that’s what we strive for. Keeping the United States united.
Slick Charles: By cloning pimps and drug dealers?
Nixon: Everybody’s got a part to play. In order for us to continue our work down here, this place has to have a certain flavor, quality of life, je ne sais quoi.

Fontaine: So the only reason I exist is to keep the place f***ed up?
Nixon: Oh, Fontaine. Don’t go glass half-empty on me, now. You’re a goddamn patriot. As far as I’m concerned, you’re Captain America.

Nixon: The way I see it, you’ve only got two options. Option one, Chester here kills you. Option two, you do nothing. You go back to your regular lives. Do what you do best. Look the other way. I got to say option two sounds pretty fantastic.

Nixon: [to Yo-Yo] You know what my friend Chester, Fontaine, and Slick Charles all have in common? They’re expensive. You? A dime a dozen. Just a regular ol’ ho.

Yo-Yo: Yoh, this s**t is bigger than you. It’s bigger than me. It’s your f***ing home.
Fontaine: Who gives a f***? This ain’t no f***ing community. This place a bunch of broke-a** n****s with nowhere else to go.

Fontaine: I’m a dope boy, remember? It’s who I am. So I’m going to go right back to doing me.
Yo-Yo: That’s your f***ing excuse?
Fontaine: Excuse? I was made in a tube. I ain’t even real. I ain’t have no say in this s**t.

Yo-Yo: What the f*** you want me to say? Yeah. Yeah. I wanted to be in New York chasing down leads for the f***ing Times, or f***ing in the Caribbean, scuba diving, looking for lost treasure and s**t, but I’m here. Yep. Right up the street from the house I grew up in. Right up the street from all the same s**t I have always wanted to get away from. Stuck in the same f***ing trap as you. N****, I’m scared too. I am. But we got to do something.

Fontaine: I ain’t scared. I’m cool with it.
Yo-Yo: Maybe the next Fontaine won’t be such a f***ing pu**y.
Fontaine: Yeah. Maybe he won’t. You know where the door is.

Fontaine: When was the last time you had a shower?
Slick Charles: Plead the fifth.

Slick Charles: If we’re going to buy into the insanity, let a pimp freshen up.

Slick Charles: We work in a spirit of cooperation. Okay? We’re on a quest. You give us the information we need, and we’ll electric slide.

Nixon: [to Yo-Yo] But you have got to tell me, do you really think that you figured it all out? You don’t even know about the grand finale. Except you won’t be around to see it.

Slick Charles: But what you going to do, huh? You going to fee-fi-fo-fum it, and blow the whole goddamn house down?

Isaac J.: So you’re trying to tell me there’s a bunch of Bill Nye the Science Guy looking m**herf***ers underneath me right now? Experimenting on Black folk, cloning n****s that look like you so they can control our mind?
Fontaine: Pretty much.

Slick Charles: This is time for reflection and silent self-discovery.

Slick Charles: Now we got ourselves an Academy-Award-winning cast.

Isaac J.: That’s it?
Crutches: That’s it, Denzel.
Isaac J.: Training Day or Book of Eli?
Crutches: Book of Eli.
Isaac J.: F***. Run it again.

Fontaine: So while I’m doing all this, what the f*** you going to be doing?
Slick Charles: Me? I’m bringing the m**herf***ing cavalry.

Slick Charles: Shawty, I got the whole hood with me. The whole hood with me. That’s how we coming. S**t! This a revolution.

Slick Charles: Excuse me, kind sir. But if you could point me to the elevator that leads to the freaky laboratory, I’ll be out your atmosphere.

Slick Charles: We’re here to save your a**.
Yo-Yo: Is this y’all?
Slick Charles: Yeah. Me, Fontaine, and half of the goddamn Glen is here.
Yo-Yo: Thank you, Slick.
Slick Charles: Look, you know, I never shared my feelings with you. You know, pimps stay buttoned up.
Yo-Yo: Okay. Save that for later.

Yo-Yo: Let’s free some m**herf***ing clones.

Nixon: A few too many mea culpas these days. Me, I try to find the brighter side of things. Learning from our mistakes, well, that’s how we grow.

Nixon: Speaking of Human Resources, where are your friends?
Yo-Yo: F***ing up your s**t as we speak.
Nixon: Well, one problem at a time.

Fontaine: You’re me.
Older Fontaine: No. You’re me. One of the many I’ve had to create over the years.
Fontaine: So, what, you working for them?
Older Fontaine: Let’s just call it a marriage of convenience. I’m the lead geneticist of this operation.

Older Fontaine: It’s not enough to think the same, we have to be the same.
Fontaine: No. You tripping, man.

Fontaine: I think n****s might notice if they wake up one morning with blond hair and blue eyes.
Older Fontaine: This won’t happen overnight, Fontaine. It’ll happen over generations. And now we are at the precipice of our true national rollout. Assimilation is better than annihilation.

Nixon: [referring to Charles] You know, I never could understand what you saw in him. I mean, I don’t want to kick a man when he’s down, but he’s an idiot. Well, I guess you could say he’s got a flair for the dramatic.
Yo-Yo: He’s Slick.

Yo-Yo: Slick, I know I talk a lot of m**herf***ing s**t, but that’s just a manifestation of my frustration.

Yo-Yo: He look good, don’t he? From the alligators to the furs, the leather to the gold chains.
Slick Charles: [as he shoots Nixon in th head] And the m**herf***ing rings.

Yo-Yo: Ooh, you was taking your precious-a** time. Damn.
Slick Charles: That Goodwill suit ain’t so bad now, is it?
Yo-Yo: I was acting, m**herf***er.

Slick Charles: They’re going to have a hard time trying to cover this s**t up.

Yo-Yo: And now’s a good a time as any to tell y’all. I am retired.
Slick Charles: Yo-Yo, hey, you know what? I think I’m going to hang these gator boots up myself. Because I can’t go back to the Royal, because there’s another Fontaine there tied up, ready to whoop my m**herf***ing a**.

Slick Charles: I might follow Yo-Yo’s lead and head on down to Memphis, you know?
Yo-Yo: Maybe they could use a couple of folk with our specialty skill set. Because you know they ain’t stop with the Glen.

The Homie: [as they’re watching the news] Hold up. Ain’t that you, Tyrone?
