Conversations on Relationships and Risks

Doughboy Yeah, I heard you been gettin that dope-head pussy. See, me, I probably get more pussy than you get air with yo wannabe macdaddy ass.

Dooky You don't know what I be getting. I don't be fucking no dopeheads. I let them suck my dick. Shit, they got AIDS and shit.

Monster Stupid motherfucker, don't you know you can catch that shit from letting them suck on your dick?

Doughboy Thank you.

Dooky See. I ain't sick. I ain't all skinny and shit.

Chris Nigga, what you mean you ain't skinny. Motherfucker so skinny he can hula hoop through a Cheerio. Nigga, you ain't got to be skinny. You can die from that shit years from now.

Dooky Y'all just trying to scare me. For real, you can die from letting them suck on your dick?

A Conversation About Hair and Relationships

Knucklehead #1 And another thing Ferris, When are you gonna get your hair cut? That shit is stripped. It looks like something from 1983, dude.

Ferris Fuck you Nigga. Ain't nobody cutting my hair, man. I'm like Samson my strength is in my hair.

Knucklehead #1 And you Nigga, what's up with that babe you been talking to?

[To Knucklehead 2]

Knucklehead #2 Tsk! Fuck that bitch.

Ferris Are you scared?

[To Knucklehead 2]

Knucklehead #1 Nah, he's not scared, he's just young.

Ferris And dumb.

Ferris I'm putting some ketchup on this motherfucker.

[Squirts a whole lot of ketchup on his french fries]

Knucklehead #1 Yeah man, why are you putting all that ketchup on it?

Self-Destruction in the Community

The Old Man Ain't nobody from outside bringing down the property value. It's these folk, shootin each other and sellin that crack rock and shit.

Furious Styles Well, how you think the crack rock gets into the country? We don't own any planes. We don't own no ships. We are not the people who are flyin and floatin that shit in here. Why is it that there is a gun shop on almost every corner in this community?

The Old Man Why?

Furious Styles I'll tell you why. For the same reason that there is a liquor store on almost every corner in the black community. Why? They want us to kill ourselves.

Indifference to Struggles in the Hood

Lessons on Responsibility and Consequences

Furious What'd you use?

Tre I used the number she gave me... Why you sweating me? I didn't have to use nothing. She said she was on the pill.

Furious How many times do I have I told you, if a girl says she's on the pill, you use somethin anyway. Pill ain't goin to keep your dick from falling off. I don't know why you insist on learning things the hard way, but you gon learn. Oh yeah, you gon learn. Pick up that hair.

Officer Coffey You think you tough? Scared now, ain't you? I like that. That's why I took this job. I hate little motherfuckers like you. Little niggers, you ain't shit!

Media Representation and Its Geographic Implications

Furious Styles I know every time you turn on the TV that's what you see. Black People, pushing the rock, selling the rock, that's what you see. But see that wasn't a problem as long as it was here. It wasn't a problem until it was in Iowa or on Wall Street where there are hardly any black people.
