Life of a King

[first lines]

Searcy:
[knocking over the king] Wanna play again? Chance to get those cigarettes back.

Eugene:
I'm scared, man. I don't got too many friends on the outside. Not any more.

Searcy:
Just keep your eye on the end game. Everything'll fall into place.

Eugene:
I'm gonna miss you chess man.

Searcy:
Listen to me, Eugene. Every day you out there, you out there for me, and every other brother in here. 'Cuz I'm never gonna be out there again.

Eugene:
[holding up chess piece] This is a king. And this is your life. One mistake and it can be taken away.

Eugene:
Chess is no different than life. These suburban kids, they know they get good grades, they go off to college. They know they'll own their own business some day - they envision the end-game. But poor kids don't think like that.

Sheila King:
Mr. Brown, I...

Eugene:
I was taught like that. I didn't see the end-game, and it cost me, man, it cost me big.

Eugene:
You are going to play on a computer and behave. You hear me? Now listen, no trash talkin', no cursing. Just play your game.

Michelle:
No trash talkin', no cursing? That *is* my game.
