You see Billy it's like this, you either smoke or you get smoked. And you got smoked.
You can put a cat in an oven, but that don't make it a biscuit.
Oh man shut your anorexic malnutrition tapeworm-having overdose on Dick Gregory Bohemian diet-drinking ass up. Leave me alone!
Can anybody step in for mr. handicap? Anybody, for Mr. Motherfucking March of Dimes?
Billy, listen to me. White men can't jump.
I don't mean to brag... but I'm the greatest!
It's hard work makin' you look so bad.
You still putting up bricks? What is this a masons convention? Clang!! Clang!! I need welding torch to play in this leauge. Lets stop right now and gather up all these bricks and build a shelter for the homeless so that your mother will have a place to live. I want your Mother and Sister out of my house immediately !!
A white man wants to win first, look good second. A black man wants to look good first, win second.
Yo, pretty boy! I looked up basketball player in the dictionary and it said 'Not you!'
