Quote context

[...]

- I live at 411 South Poinsettia.

- Mmm-hmm. 411.

- But I've already got a date.

- Oh! Well, whoever it is, he can't be as nice as me. The sucker can't be as pretty as me. So, why don't you find some way to just drop him and cancel that date tonight?

- Are you asking me to?

- Then that's what it takes!

- Out of sight.

- Well, look, what time, 8 o'clock?

- 8 o'clock it is.

- And be pretty.

- 'Cause I will be pretty.

- You are fine.

- All right. See you later.

- Be on time, then. Don't be too slow. Women is always late. Especially you colored girls.

- What Jackie Robinson was really saying was, if you give me a place on your team, I'll show you what a nice fellow I am.

- Just a regular human being like everybody else, only my skin is kind of funny, but before long, you won't even notice that.

- Because no majority ever gave the minority a fair share of the loot without force.

Top rated lines from this movie

Attention, the true heavyweight champion is here!

I mean, just in the last few days, things have changed. The conditions have changed.

Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. You can't hit what you can't see.

You've made it to the top of the mountain, champ, but it's just as steep going down as it was coming up. And a hell of a lot faster. You've got to get used to another kind of life.

I told you all I was the greatest. Never told you I was the smartest.
