• Preacher : [final lines]  We were friends, a long time ago. Laughin, rappin, chasin girls, obeying no laws, except the one of caring. Basketball days and high nights, no tomorrows, unable to remember yesterday. We live for today...

• Preacher : You guys think it's so funny because I want to be something besides a factory worker or a football player. Well, that's because you're a bunch of stupid niggers that don't know shit!

• Preacher : Dorothy the only thing I know, is that your momma's a hoe!

• Cochise : [Spilling his wine on the ground]  For those who ain't here.

  Preacher : Man, why you want to waste good wine like that?

  Cochise : Don't you know, fool? I do that to remember. A lot of the brothers are dead, or in jail. This is for them.

  [pours again] 

  Cochise : For those who ain't here.

• Mr. Mason : [reaching out to a student in trouble]  What do you want, Preacher? With your brains, you can have it!

  Preacher : [With total assurance]  To live forever!

• Preacher : Now, gentlemen, gentlemen... No need to create havoc and melee.
