Critique of Hollywood's Portrayal of Crime
Speed Realism is important to me, and this was bullshit. This is the movie where the criminals wait for Dirty Larry to reach into his jacket and pull out a big ass gun. What did they think he was looking for, his American Express card?
[reviewing 'Dirty Larry']
Tyrone He's supposed to take the money.
Speed Right.
Tyrone Take the ho. Take the ho! You know that.
Speed Right.
Tyrone And take the car and get the fuck outta there.
Speed I can't believe it. Because, he would have been dead a long time ago. Talkin that shit, "Make my day.
Tyrone Right, right! Cause as soon as he said, "Make my day," boom. Do 50 bullets in your ass make your day?

Uncle Ray There ain't nothin to it but to do it.
Sam Ace I knew exactly what she could do. And she did too. As she walked towards me, I saw that twinkle in her eyes. I knew it was time - to do the nasty. And I like - doin the nasty. She was a good kisser; but her breath was stinky. But so what? You don't get rid of a Rolls Royce because it has a dent in it. I had never done it before on my desk. I was just glad to be on top. I'd hate to. do the nasty with a stapler up my ass.
The guy from the Dirty Larry clip What you say, honky sucker pig-head jive-turkey fool?
Tyrone I didn't like this movie at all. First of all, it was the fact that I couldn't say the title. I get tired of titles I can't pronounce and shit. If you want people to come and see it, a muthafucker got to be able to tell his woman where he's gonna take her.
Casting Director Relax! But I need some tension at the same time. But not too relaxed. But don't forget to give me sparkle.
Jheri Curl Please! Gimme my activator!

I have nothing else to say about Bobby Taylor!
