The Brothers

Jesse Caldwell:
So you've known me for a while, and all of a sudden, you ask me out. What took you so long?

Jesse Caldwell:
[after Judge Carla rudely insults and snubs them, then walks away] What's her problem?

Brian Palmer:
I have no idea.

Judge Carla Williams:
[Walking back to the table] Excuse me? What did you say?

Brian Palmer:
Carla, we're just trying to have lunch. Why are you making a scene?

Judge Carla Williams:
I'm not making a scene. I'm just having girl talk, right? Now, what did you SAY?

Jesse Caldwell:
I said, "What's... your... PROBLEM?"

Judge Carla Williams:
[Pointing in Jesse's face] My problem is tired-ass men like this, and women like you who get the whole world given to them, but no, no, no, you have to have our men TOO!

Jesse Caldwell:
Get that finger out of my face.

Judge Carla Williams:
Or what? Hmm? What are YOU gonna do about it?

Jackson Smith:
I know love's supposed to be this beautiful thing, but I just can't get with it. I go up, love goes down. I go left, love goes right. I say I'm ready, love says "Not yet, Jackson, she dated your father." Maybe there is love out there, but it's running from me. I can't keep chasing it.

Fred Smith:
You know, they say talent skips a generation.

Jackson Smith:
[smiles] I'll remember that.

Brian Palmer:
We're Black, single, professional men. We, gentlemen, are the cream of the crop.

Terry White:
No, let me break it down for you, man. [points to Jackson and Derrick] *We* are the cream of the crop. *You* are the black, sticky sh*t on the bottom of the barrel!

Dr. Thelma Woolridge:
Is that the kind of existence you want? Life without love in it?

Derrick West:
You got me hard as Chinese arithmetic in here!

Brian Palmer:
Mama, the boy's not happy here. It's not like his daddy's around here anymore.

Helen Palmer:
Don't even bring up that fool to me. Left me for some white woman.

Brian Palmer:
She's Hawaiian.

Helen Palmer:
If she ain't Black, she white.

Brian Palmer:
See, that's what I'm talking about mama! That's just ridiculous!

Helen Palmer:
Fact of life.

Brian Palmer:
That's crazy. Latina women?

Helen Palmer:
White woman with a taco.

Brian Palmer:
Oh, so I just guess Asian women...

Helen Palmer:
A white woman that don't speak-a da goddamn English!

Derrick West:
I don't play, woman. I quit school 'cuz of recess!
