Quotes:

Caine: Now O-Dog was the craziest nigga alive. America's nightmare. Young, black, and didn't give a fuck.

Ilena: I'm pregnant.::Caine: Well, what the fuck you tellin' me for?::Ilena: What? So you just gonna dog me?::Caine: It ain't mine.::Ilena: Look, you the only one I was with!::Caine: Stop lying, alright? Besides, I had the jimmy on extra tight.

Caine: My grandpa asked me one time if I care whether I live or die. Yeah I do. Now it's too late.

Grandpapa: Now what I want to talk to you two about is the trouble that you've been getting into. Boys, the Lord didn't put you here to be shooting and killing each other. It's right there in the Bible, Exodus 20:13: '"Thou shall not kill.'::Caine: Grandpa, I ain't never killed nobody.::Grandpapa: Oh, I doubt that. And Kevin, I've heard stories about you.::O-Dog: Sir, I don't think God really cares too much about us, or he wouldn't have put us here. I mean, look where we stay at. It's all fucked - It's messed up around here.::Caine: My grandpops was always coming at us with that religion, and every time it would go in one ear and out the other.::Grandpapa: Caine, do you care whether you live or die?::Caine: I don't know.

Detective: You know you done fucked up, don't you? You know it, don't you? You know you done fucked up.

Pernell: [during a visit to the penitentiary] It's been a long time, Caine. How you doin', man? How come you never come see me?::Caine: [looking down] Man, I don't want to see you all caged up like some animal.::Pernell: Is that what you think? I'm a animal?::Caine: Nah... [looks up, almost in tears] When I was growin' up... you was like my dad, man.::Pernell: [takes the phone away from his ear in disbelief, only to return it] Your letters... in the beginning... it got me through, young bra. Away from my girl, away from my baby, away from you. Go with Ronnie, Caine.::Caine: Man, I ain't... it ain't even ...::Pernell: I know the way she feels about you and that's cool. She's a good girl... you know? And take care of my son. I can't do shit for him in here. You teach him better than I taught you, man. Teach him the way we grew up was bullshit. A'ight? [puts his knuckles to the glass] Gimmie some.

[Caine Lawson reflecting after being shot]::Caine: After stomping on Ilena's cousin like that, I knew I was gonna have to deal with that fool someday. Damn! I never thought he'd come back like this, blasting. Like I said, it was funny like that in the hood sometimes. I mean you never knew what was gonna happen or when. I've done too much to turn back, and I've done too much to go on. I guess in the end it all catches up with you. My grandpa asked me one time if I care whether I live or die. Yeah, I do. Now it's too late.

O-Dog: Hey, man, who the fuck gonna be old out there at twelve o'clock at night, bitch? Shit, nigga, I'll smoke anybody, nigga. I just don't give a fuck. Shit. I'm gonna hit this shit, nigger.::Caine: Look, all right, not me, all right? I'm not killing no kids.::O-Dog: Hey, you know what, nigger? You acting like a little bitch right now. You acting real paranoid and shit. Now, these motherfuckers smoked your goddam cousin in front of you, nigga! Blew his head off in front of your face, and you ain't gonna do shit? You acting like a little bitch right now, nigga. Man, fuck that. I ain't letting that shit ride. We gonna go in and smoke all these motherfuckers. I don't care who the fuck out there. Goddamn it, is you down, nigger?::A-Wax: Man, both of y'all shut the fuck up. Both of y'all acting like some motherfucking bitches. Shit. Scared to peel these punk-ass nigga's cap. Now, give me my motherfucking joint, nigga.

Grocery Store Man: I feel sorry for your mother.::O-Dog: What'd you say about my mama?

O-Dog: I'll be larger then that nigga Steven Seagal I'll be a big-ass-movie-star, shit.::A-Wax: Yeah that shit was cool, but I would have it done much better - it's all about A-wax.
