Madame Zenobia : Why don't you fellas move around, find something nice to do? If you get bored here and are looking for some real excitement, there is always the room with the red door in the back.
Steve Jackson : What's in there?
Madame Zenobia : Happiness. Or, sadness.
Wardell Franklin : What do you mean by that?
Madame Zenobia : Why don't you go back there and find out? And, Mr. Jackson, you behave yourself, hear?

Wardell Franklin : What you think is going on back there?
Steve Jackson : I don't know. Hookers maybe.

Steve Jackson : By any means necessary.

Steve Jackson : Now listen here, you all, I'm looking fo a corny little runt named Seymour Petigreau. I know you're in here, Seymour, so come on out! I hear you're so ugly - till the sun refuse to shine every time you come out. You're so ugly - till it's against the law in 20 states to marry you.
Wardell Franklin : Yeah, that's it, Steve. You're cooking. You keep on talking. He's in here somewhere and just remember, I got your back. And dig, say something about his Mama.

Steve Jackson : We don't know nothin'.
Geechie Dan Beauford : Somebody hired you to finger me and I want to know who.
Steve Jackson : Nobody hired us to do nothin'. I just came to you because I was lookin' for help.
Geechie Dan Beauford : You're a lying dog, sucker.
Steve Jackson : No. I ain't. We told you - we don't know nothin' about them guns.
Geechie Dan Beauford : Nigger!
