• Chalky Price : T has one edge--and that's his cool. But that's enough, baby, because he's thinkin' all the time. And If he wants your ass, he gets it!

• Chalky Price : We got some trouble, T.

  Mr. T : No, shit! All this free ass out here, puttin' your whores out of business.

• Mr. T : Get the money, Chalky. Don't dance, man, move!

  Chalky Price : T, T, look, I'll give you $30,000, man!

  Mr. T : $10,500.

• Pete : One man, Chalky. Just one man. Don't make him sound like a goddamn army.

  Chalky Price : It only takes one man to wash you away. And T is the last man in this world I want lookin' for me.

• Pete : What are you gonna do, Chalk?

  Chalky Price : I'm gonna empty my safe and take a trip.

  Pete : And leave all the troubles to me.

  Chalky Price : You wanna come? You're welcome.

  Pete : No way. That nigger's not runnin' me out.

  Chalky Price : That *nigga* is gonna feed you that word backwards, honky! And if he doesn't, I will.

• Mr. T : What kind of trouble?

  Chalky Price : We formed a partnership. Pete runs card games, crap games, on the white side of the street; same as, I do on the Black. We bank for each other. Split the takes. And that way, nobody has a bad week.

  Mr. T : Don't sound like trouble to me.

  Chalky Price : Well, the past three weeks, five of our runners have been grabbed taking money to games. And three of our games have been ripped off.

  Pete : Three or four guys.

  Mr. T : Black or white?

  Chalky Price : Aw, we don't know. They only hit after dark.

• Mr. T : You want your trouble fixed, it's going to cost you.

  Chalky Price : All right, then, one night's take: $2500.

  Mr. T : 10 big ones.

• Chalky Price : We got to get rid of the body.

  Mr. T : No, no, no. Not we, man. You! You shoot it, you bury it.

  Chalky Price : I hired you, dammit!

  Mr. T : Yeah, to stop the stick-ups and sweep up after you, pimp!

• Mr. T : [Chalky shoots Abbey Walsh in the back]  You ass, you! That's Abbey Walsh, man. You know who he is?

  Chalky Price : I've seen him around. He's a collector for Big.

  Mr. T : Now you got two kinds of trouble. Big trouble and fuzz trouble.

• Pete : He opened his garbage and we'll put the lid on it.

  Mr. T : And get what? A lot of dead bodies and heavy heat from the fuzz. You want that? Cool! Give me my money and time to get outta your way. I'll let you crazy mothers shoot at each other.

  Chalky Price : He's right, Pete.

  Mr. T : You fuckin-A right I'm right!
