• Youngblood Priest : I'm gettin' out, Eddie.

  Eddie : Gettin' outta what?

  Youngblood Priest : The cocaine business.

  Eddie : Oh, sweet. Sh*t. Say, those junkies must have knocked a hole in your head. You're gonna give all this up? 8-Track Stereo, color T.V. in every room, and can snort a half a piece of dope everyday? That's the American Dream, nigga! Well, ain't it? Ain't it?

• Eddie : I went along with that thing of yours about getting out cause I had nothing else. When I get out what am I gunna do? I don't know nothing else but dope, baby. Takin' it, sellin' it, bankrollin' so other small time pusher. Ya know, you've got this fantasy in your head about gettin outta the life and setting that other world on its ear. What the F*CK are you gunna do except hustle? Besides pimpin'? And you really ain't got the stomach for that. Now man I ain't puttin you down. If it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't be here, I'd be O.D'ed some place. I'm just trying to make it real, baby like it is. I mean, maybe this is what you're supposed to do, maybe this is what you're growing to. Just think about it, don't throw it out, just, just think about it.

• Eddie : I know it's a rotten game, but it's the only one The Man left us to play. That's the stone, cold truth.

• Eddie : We in! We got the main line! And that honky sounded like he can even keep the cops off our back! And we got cats out there like that, baby, we gonna be bigger than Scatter ever dreamed of bein'.

• Youngblood Priest : How long you gonna be?

  Eddie : [Playing craps]  Don't pull me out now. This niggas got a fist full of money and he's lettin' me double-up when I want. That's what I come down here for.

• Eddie : You gonna give that hard luck nigga a heart attack.

• Eddie : Are you crazy? You know damn well who killed Scatter. And if we f*ck up, he'll kill us too. Besides, we got it beat. We'll make a fortune. Just don't rock the boat, man.

  Youngblood Priest : Its worst now than it was before. Look, that Man owns us. You understand that, Eddie? To him we're not real. He'll just use us and then kill us.

  Eddie : You have people been usin' me all my whole life. Yeah, that that honky's usin' me, so what? You know, I'm glad he's usin' me. Because I'm gonna make a piss pot full of money and I'm gonna live like a Prince - a f*ckin' Black Prince! Yeah, this is the life! I could be nothin' nowhere else. And about his killin' me? Sh*t, I don't care. As long as he gets me to live to be an old motherf*cker! And I ain't gonna do nothin' to him to kill me now!

• Eddie : What's wrong with you, nigga?
