Quotes 

• Joshua Alexander : [after Jason suspects him of reverting back to his old ways]  You think I'm stupid? I ain't in no hurry to go back to that cage! I know no one else around here believes in me, but I always thought that when it came down to it, you would.

• Gloria : [after Josh assembles a massive feast, Gloria begins to throw it all away]  Mama, what are you doing? What are you doing? Ma, I made this for you! Stop it, now! I just bought that shit!

  Gloria : [Continuing to throw everything away]  Drug money.

  Joshua Alexander : See, how you know I didn't get it the honest way? Huh? How you know that?

  Gloria : Every time you come out, I pray it'll be different, but it's always the same! Always the same.

  [Grabs the main course] 

  Joshua Alexander : [Grabs it from her]  Not the roast, Mama. I spent $25 on that. What are you doing? I spent $100 on all that shit! $100, to make you happy, Mama!

  Gloria : Drug money. Drug money! I'll die, you hear me? I'll die before I feed my family with that money, and if you bring it in my house again, the doors will be locked.

  Joshua Alexander : [Referring to his father]  Now, I see how a man could beat you.

  Gloria : [Slaps Joshua soundly across the face] 

  Joshua Alexander : [Angrily swings his fist back to retaliate, and is grabbed by Jason] 

  Gloria : I KNEW Mad Dog's ghost was somewhere to be found, but I had no idea it was in my own house!

• Joshua Alexander : Why are you still talking about her? What is this? You fuckin' putting her above me? You're putting her above me, man!

  Jason Alexander : Josh, no, man!

  Joshua Alexander : What about me?

  Jason Alexander : What about you? You know, I've spent my whole fuckin' life for you! Josh, I can't do that no more, man.

  Joshua Alexander : Oh, I'm tired of you telling me I'm fucking up, man! Shit. 'Cause I took care of this. Fuck you, man!

  Jason Alexander : You took this, then you're fucked up! This shit is fucked up! I'm tired of your shit, Josh! I don't need this no more!

  Joshua Alexander : I don't need you! I don't need you!

  Jason Alexander : I don't give a fuck talking about you, Josh! Don't make me do this again, nigger.

  [Pointing his gun to Joshua] 

  Jason Alexander : Come on, Josh, let her go. Don't make me do this again, man.

  Joshua Alexander : She's taking you away from me, man!

  [Clicking his gun, pointed to Lyric's chest] 

  Joshua Alexander : She's taking you away from me! Isn't she taking you away from me? Well, I ain't got nothing.

  Jason Alexander : But, I love you, man.

  Joshua Alexander : I ain't got nothing man?

  [Accidentally shoots Lyric] 

  Joshua Alexander : I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it.

  [Pulling Jason's gun to his face] 

  Joshua Alexander : Shoot me. Shoot me.
