• Frank Gathers : Kill him. Make it fast and quiet. Bye!

  Lucious Lyon : I'm sorry, I think you're confused. Now, please sit down. See, Frankie, you always wanted to run the streets. But me, I wanted to rule the world. Like Mike - now, he may never see his mama again 'cause he's serving life, but he ain't got to worry about her mortgage, 'cause I took care of that. And Bamm-Bamm, his baby girl is sick. And she gonna need some help in this cold-ass world that I rule. And, Guy, wh-what was it again, Guy?

  Guy : Just the music, man.

  Lucious Lyon : That's right, he's a musician. Just like Freda.

  [gets up] 

  Lucious Lyon : Kill him. Make it loud, and make it long.

• Lucious Lyon : You always were ride or die.

  Cookie Lyon : Save that for Anika. Or one of these little boys you messing around with in here.

• Frank Gathers : This is between me and Cookie. You and me are cool. Unless you tell me something different.

  Lucious Lyon : [looks around at all of Frank's protection]  ... Yeah, we good.

  Frank Gathers : Cold-blooded. That's why I always liked you.

  Lucious Lyon : Always liked you, too. But I love Cookie, and if you got war with her, then you got war with me.

• Lucious Lyon : [regarding his enemy's teenage daughter]  I'm gonna sign your baby girl - and then I'mma slip her my bone.

• Lucious Lyon : You think that being a black bitch in cheap shoes who took down hip-hop, that's your way to victory? Well, let me share something with you, Ms. Clarence Thomas. You ain't never gonna be nothin' but a black bitch in cheap shoes to me.

• Lucious Lyon : For whatever reason, I still love you. I do, and I'm so sorry I didn't come visit you while you were here. This place is hell.

  Cookie Lyon : Three months. You've been in here three months. Talk to me after five years.
