Otis: They smoked me. See a nigga running around here, they smoke ya, ask questions later. Well I ain't staying here, I'll tell you that, I ain't FUCKING STAYING HERE!

Dee: You know what your problem is? You never want to be the bad guy. You want everything you do to be right, but it isn't. If you really didn't want me to go, you shouldn't have fucked me.

Mack: This is difficult stuff. Making a left turn in L.A. is one of the harder things you'll learn in life.
4
Davis: There's so much rage going around we're damn lucky we have the movies to help us vent it.
5
Davis: The point is there's a gulf in this country; an ever-widening abyss between the people who have stuff, and the people who don't have shit. It's like this big hole in the ground, as big as the fucking Grand Canyon, and what's come pouring out is an eruption of rage, and the rage creates violence, and the violence is real, Mack. Nothing's gonna make it go away, until someone changes something, which is not going to happen. And you may not like it, even I may not like it, but I can't pretend it isn't there because that it is a lie, and when art lies, it becomes worthless. So I gotta keep telling the truth, even if it scares the shit out of me, like it scares the shit out of you. Even if it means some motherfucker can blow a big hole in my leg for a watch, and I'm gonna walk with a fucking limp for the rest of my life and call myself lucky.

Davis: We're talking about a religious experience here. I might say "doth" or "thou" or a lot of things.

Simon: I've gotta ask you for a favor. Let me go my way here. This truck's my responsibility, and now that the car's hooked up to it it's my responsibility too. Gangbanger: Do you think I'm stupid? Just answer that question first. Simon: Look, I don't know nothing about you, you don't know nothing about me. I don't know if you're stupid, or some kind of genious. All I know is that I need to get out of here, and you got the gun. So I'm asking you for the second time, let me go my way here. Gangbanger: I'm gonna grant you that favor, and I'm gonna expect you to remember it if we ever meet again. But tell me this, are you asking me as a sign of respect, or are you asking because I've got the gun? Simon: Man, the world ain't supposed to work like this. I mean, maybe you don't know that yet. I'm supposed to be able to do my job without having to ask you if I can. That dude is supposed to be able to wait with his car without you ripping him off. Everything is supposed to be different than it is. Gangbanger: So what's your answer? Simon: You ain't got the gun, we ain't having this conversation. Gangbanger: That's what I thought, no gun, no respect. That's why I always got the gun.

[Last lines as Mack and Simon and their wives and families look at the Grand Canyon] Simon: So what do you think? Mack: I think it's not all bad.

Claire: It's just an inappropriate response to get a headache in the presence of a miracle. It's... tasteless!
10
Davis: While we got a moment here, maybe you can explain something to me I never understood. What is the theory on this handkerchief thing? I mean, after you blow your nose in it, you put it back in your pocket and then you see someone in distress and you like give them this gift from your pocket and they are suppose to be grateful as they wipe it all over their face.
11
Davis: That's part of your problem: you haven't seen enough movies. All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.
12
Mack: Vanessa, why is it that when someone's successful in one field, they think they know about everything?
13
Mack: He's kinda lonely, but he seems peaceful about it. Jane: That would be nice. Dee: Ya know, it would be great if you could sort of be down about things, but still be alright with it. Like, finally accept that fact that you're gonna feel bad most of the time and not fight it. Mack: Of course, it would also be nice not to feel bad most of the time. Dee: Yeah, but that's how you get yourself in trouble. By thinking how nice it'd be to be happy more.
14
Dee: Jane, do you ever feel like you are just this far from being completely hysterical twenty four hours a day? Jane: Half the people I know feel that way. The lucky ones feel that way. The rest of the people are hysterical twenty four hours a day.
