• Jim Brown : Say man, do you have any regrets, you know, hitchin' your cart to the Muslim train?

  Jamaal : Yeah, yes I think you could say I do.

  Jim Brown : Really.

  Jamaal : I regret that I didn't join when I was younger. This kid named Rollis used to chase me on the way home every damned day on the way. That's the reason I stopped goin'. I reckon if I'd've gotten with the bothers sooner, we could have nipped it in the bud and put our foot in Rollin's ass, know what I'm sayin'?

  Jim Brown : Yeah, but you don't need a religion for that. Kid, you could have just joined a gang.

  Jamaal : What's the difference?

• Jim Brown : This has been one strange fucking night.

  Sam Cooke : How's that for irony?

  Malcolm X : Last time I checked, Brother Sam, vanilla was your flavor of choice.

• Jim Brown : Don't you think it's about time to party?
