Radio Days - The Passage of Time and Its Impact
Masked Avenger:
I wonder if future generations will ever even hear about us. It's not likely. After enough time, everything passes. I don't care how big we are or how important are our lives.
Rocco:
This is a coincidence. I meet nobody from the old neighborhood in years. I finally do, and I gotta kill her.

Fort Apache, the Bronx - Confrontation Over Captain Connolly's Credibility
Morgan:
Hey Murph, what do you think of that son of a bitch, huh? Connolly. Captain Connolly. That clown they dress up as a cop. That fuckin banana. I mean, who does he think he's playin with, some chickenshit rookie? I've been on the job too long, you know what I mean? Yeah, they might get me for coopin'. Or for scorin a little nookie on the side. Or, maybe even shakin down a bodega. I never said I was the smartest guy in the world, but when he comes up with this phony witness shit...
Murphy:
They got witnesses, Einstein.
Morgan:
Yeah, deaf and dumb ones, right?
Murphy:
Real live ones! The kind that put you away.
Morgan: [goes out after Murphy]
Hey Murph! Murphy! Murphy, come here! Murphy! What are you talking about?
Murphy:
They got the little chick that was hiding up there behind the junk pile!
Morgan:
What chick?
Murphy:
Yeah, they got me and Coreli, too... A-Number One police work... Poor kid wasn't botherin nobody, and you throw him off the roof!
Morgan:
You shut the fuck up!
Murphy:
You fuckin creep, I wish I was man enough to turn you in!

Buggin Out:
What'd I tell you about them pictures?
Sal:
What the fuck, are you deaf?
Buggin Out:
No! Are you? FUCK YOU! We want some black people on that motherfucking Wall of Fame now!
Mookie:
We're trying to go fucking home! We've been here all fucking day, Buggin Out!
Sal:
Turn that jungle music off! We ain't in Africa!
Buggin Out:
Why it got to be about jungle music? Why it got to be about Africa? It's about them fucking pictures!
Sal:
It's about turning that shit off and getting the fuck out of my place!

Do the Right Thing - Contemplating Change in a Family Business
Pino:
Daddy, you know, I've been thinking... maybe we should sell this place, get out while we're still ahead... and alive.
Sal:
You really think you know what's best for us, Pino?
Pino:
Maybe we can... can we sell this and open up a new one in our own neighborhood?
Sal:
There's too many pizzerias already there.
Pino:
Then maybe we could... we could try something different.
Sal:
What am I gonna do? What am I - that's all I know. What am I doing? I been here twenty-five years. Where am I going?
Pino:
I'm sick of niggers. It's like I come to work, it's Planet of the Apes. I don't like being around them. They're animals.
Sal:
Why you got so much anger in you?
Pino:
Why? I'll tell you why. My friends, they laugh at me. They laugh right in my face. They tell me, "Go to Bed-Stuy. Go feed the moulies".
Sal:
Do your friends put money in your pocket, Pino? Food on your table? They pay your rent, a roof over your head? They're not your friends. If they were your friends they wouldn't laugh at you.
Pino:
Pop, what can I say? I don't want to be here. They don't want us here. We should stay in our own neighborhood, stay in Bensonhurst, and the niggers should stay in theirs.
Sal:
I never had no trouble with these people. I sat in this window. I watched these little kids get old. And I seen the old people get older. Yeah, sure, some of them don't like us, but most of them do. I mean, for Christ's sake, Pino, they grew up on my food. On my food. And I'm very proud of that. Oh, you may think It's funny, but I'm very proud of that. Look, what I'm trying to say, son, is, uh... Sal's Famous Pizzeria is here to stay. I'm sorry. I'm your father, and I love you, I'm sorry but... but that's the way it is.

Do the Right Thing - Cultural Identity and Ownership in Conflict
Buggin Out:
Hey, hey, Sal, how come you ain't got no brothers up on the wall here?
Sal:
You want brothers up on the wall, get your own place. You can do what you want to do. You can put your brothers and uncles and nieces and nephews, step-fathers, step-mothers, whoever you want. See? But, this is *my* pizzeria. American Italians up on the wall.
Vito:
Take it easy, Pop.
Pino:
Don't start.
Buggin Out:
Yeah, that might be fine, Sal, but, you own this, rarely do I see any American Italians eatin in here. All I see is Black folks. So since we spend much money here, we do have some say.
Sal:
You lookin for trouble? You a troublemaker, is that what you are? You makin trouble?
Buggin Out:
Yeah! I'm a troublemaker. I'm makin trouble.
Sal:
You're a ball breaker. Always comin in here lookin for trouble, aren't you. Suppose I busted your head. How would you - Now, Mookie. Mookie, you wanna get your friend outta here.
Buggin Out:
Oh, you wanna kick me out now? You're gonna kick me out, huh?
Sal:
Nah, I'm not kickin you out. You're kickin yourself out.
Buggin Out: [[Malcolm X; [Nelson Mandela; [Michael Jordan]

Léon: The Professional - Curiosity About Money and Relationships
Léon:
Tony, all the money I make that you keep for me —
Tony:
You need some money?
Léon:
Just curious. Cause I've been working for a long time and I haven't done anything with my money.
Tony:
You met a woman.
Léon:
No.
Tony:
Léon... Léon, you gotta be careful with women. Remember when you first arrived in this country? When I took you in you were still wet behind the fuckin ears, and already you were in deep shit because of a woman. Don't forget that, Léon.
Léon:
I wish I could sometimes. You know, about my money — maybe I could give a little to someone, you know, to help out.
Tony:
Hey, it's your money. I mean, I'm just holding it for you, like a bank. Except better than a bank, cause you know banks always get knocked off. No one knocks off old Tony.
