Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes: You like my Biggie photo? Me, too. You know what draws your eye when you look at that? The crown. Wanna know why? Huh? 'Cause everybody wants to be the king. [slaps Shameek] I slapped you like a little bitch. I'm not the kind of man to use a closed fist on a woman. Where's my money? Shameek Smith: I, I didn't - Cottonmouth: Uh-uh. Only thing worse than a thief is a damn liar. [smacks Shameek] Where's my - money? Hmm? You left Dante alive. He called Tone. And with his dying words, gave up you and your homeboy. We got your money. Now you're gonna tell us where Chico is so we can get the rest. Cottonmouth: [laughing] Yeah. Thank you. Now I can hit you like a man. [throws Shameek to the floor and beats him to death] Reva Connors: Loneliness never goes away, especially in places like Seagate. If you don't make attempts to befriend someone loneliness is guaranteed to eat you alive.

Mercedes "Misty" Knight: You know Benjamin Franklin said that the only way that three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead. First Dante, now Shameek. Chico's the last man standing. Rafael Scarfe: Benjamin Franklin? Didn't he electrocute himself flying a kite in a rainstorm? I wouldn't base any theories on that fool. Misty: Benjamin Franklin is on the $100 bill sir. Scarfe: So? He wasn't a president! Misty: That's even more impressive! Come on, give the man some credit.

Cottonmouth: What's your name again? Luke: Luke. Cottonmouth: Luke. Mmm, old school. Biblical. I'm all about the old school. You know that eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth kind of thing. Fire and brimstone. See back then do someone wrong, wasn't no beggin' and pleadin'. Just took care of it. Handled your business. Pop: What about turning the other cheek? Cottonmouth: Mmm. Jesus saves. I don't.
