Quotes |
Claudia Ferguson:
[after their confrontation with two racist policemen]
That's right. Two jerks came up here to do their job to find you, me and a white boy, which they weren't too thrilled about anyway, and you have to give them some lip. Save your heroism for something important. Adam Johnson: It was important. Don't you know that, Claudia? Take a piece of you here, a piece of you there, so there's nothing left... except yessah, boss! See more » |
