Friday Foster : I see that I'm going to be getting into something I did not expect.
Sen. David Lee Hart : What did you expect?
Friday Foster : You know what I expected? I expected you to be a rat; but, you're different.
Sen. David Lee Hart : Baby, you forget I'm straight off the block.
Friday Foster : I know, that's what cancelled my theory. You treat a person like a person - and a woman like a woman.
Sen. David Lee Hart : I try to treat a lady - like a lady.
-
Colt Hawkins : His muscles are bigger than mine.
Friday Foster : That's not all.
-
Friday Foster : Oh, lord. Are you sure this is going to work?
[looks down and pushes up her bra]
Colt Hawkins : Well, it ain't the size of the ship, it's the motion of the ocean.
Friday Foster : Well, watch this ocean!
-
Noble Franklin : I can set up a special appointment for you up in Jericho.
Friday Foster : Jericho? What is that?
Noble Franklin : That's my estate. My meditative retreat up the river. And we could spend some time for, eh, purposes.
[pulls Friday closer, rubs and pats her hips]
Friday Foster : Well, you know, then again, Reverend, I don't - I'm not so sure.
-
Blake Tarr : Coming from the ghetto all the way to the top was quite a trip. But, I'm curious about you. There are things I'd like to know.
Friday Foster : Like what?
Blake Tarr : Like who is Friday Foster? Where's she going?
Friday Foster : Who am I? Well, that's a funny question. Well, first, I'm a woman. Second, I'm a photographer, and, a big sister to a little brother who's really a 40-year-old man. And, I like cats and dogs and horses and men; but, not necessarily in that order. I make my own decisions. And I'm a Gemini.
Blake Tarr : Is that it?
Friday Foster : Well, that's enough.
-
Friday Foster : What are you doing here?
Sen. David Lee Hart : What would I be doing here?
Noble Franklin : He's our leader. The whole Unity concept is his.
Friday Foster : But, but the walls...
Sen. David Lee Hart : The walls of prejudice, of discrimination, of misunderstanding and hate. Every important black leader in the country is here today. We are acting together - as one - for the first time!
-
Friday Foster : Something you forgot - that us folks *can* stick together when it is necessary.
-
Friday Foster : Get involved with who? Blake Tarr? *The* Blake Tarr. The billionaire! The brother they call the black Howard Hughes?
-
Friday Foster : There was nothing else I could do!
Monk Riley : Yeah, and my old man invented the cotton gin.
-
Friday Foster : Ford Malotte?
Ford Malotte : Coochie-coochie.
-
Friday Foster : Fanc, I hate to tell you this, but, some of us do work, once in awhile.
Fancy Dexter : Why?
Friday Foster : Well, welfare is just not my style.
Fancy Dexter : Well, I got your style, sweet thing, so you are wasting your pretty face and all of your - real talents.
Friday Foster : Fancy, there is nothing you have that I want - and I don't hustle for no body.
Fancy Dexter : Hustle? Them white boys would be tearin' down the doors to get next to you! And we could have our thing too.
Friday Foster : Ah, nigga, please. You have lost your mind!
Fancy Dexter : My bitches - my ladies, don't think that their nigga has lost his mind. With them bad rags, tough pad, I'm in some heavy blow and a boss ride! Shit!
-
Sen. David Lee Hart : Will you believe me? Trust me?
Friday Foster : Then you can start trusting me. You can tell me what the hell is going on.
Sen. David Lee Hart : Okay. Find yourself a certain Mr. Blake Tarr and it will all come as clear as Monday's wash.
-
Colt Hawkins : You know something, Friday, I don't think we should go through with this. I don't like it. I don't feel right about it.
Friday Foster : You know what? You're right. You put on the dress and you go on in there.
-
Friday Foster : You must be the Reverend Noble Franklin.
Noble Franklin : Why, yes. My, my, you are an attractive young lady!
Friday Foster : Why, thank you Reverend Franklin.
Noble Franklin : Oh, just call me Nobel, sister. You see, I'm not one to stand on ceremonies.
-
Friday Foster : Why would he plan his own assassination?
Sen. David Lee Hart : It's all part of a big power play - to make you believe it's something it isn't.
Friday Foster : And what's your power play? Are you something you're not too?
[Sen. Hart moves in for a long kiss]
Friday Foster : Now, what will all the gossips say?
Sen. David Lee Hart : Oh, they will probably say that he made love to one of the most beautiful women DC has ever seen.
Friday Foster : You're very sure of yourself, aren't you?
Sen. David Lee Hart : Are you?
-
Friday Foster : Why would I?
Blake Tarr : Because I've asked you.
Friday Foster : You're quite sure of yourself, aren't you? Are all black billionaires like that?
Blake Tarr : Probably. It goes with the job.
-
Colt Hawkins : I don't get it? Does it mean anything to you?
Friday Foster : "The walls come tumbling down?"
Colt Hawkins : Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho.
Friday Foster : [singing] Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Friday Foster , Colt Hawkins : [singing] Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, And the walls come tumbling down.
Friday Foster : That's it! Jericho! Don't you know what Jericho is?
Colt Hawkins : Sweetheart, I'm a Sunday school dropout. I don't know what you're...
Friday Foster : That's Reverend Nobel Franklin's place. He invited me there. A dirty old man.
Colt Hawkins : So what?
Friday Foster : So, the name of the place is: Jericho! That makes sense.
Colt Hawkins : It does, huh?
Friday Foster : That's were the black widow starts.
Colt Hawkins : What are you talking about?
Friday Foster : Jericho! Jericho.
-
Colt Hawkins : Would you mind telling me why we're here?
Friday Foster : We are going to see the Senator. I want to ask him a few questions and I want some no jive answers.
Colt Hawkins : To what?
Friday Foster : To where are all the black leaders? I have been calling them all over the place and no one seems to know where they are.
Colt Hawkins : How would the Senator know?
Friday Foster : Now, would a pimp lose track of his stable?
-
Friday Foster : Does this make any sense to you?
Sen. David Lee Hart : Suppose you want to destroy Black Power? What other way than to get all of our leaders together in one place and wipe them out?
Friday Foster : But, I saw blacks with the whites! I saw them!
Sen. David Lee Hart : Hell, some niggers will do anything for a dollar.
