English Quotes:

  • English: Ten years ago, I was in this bar in Alabama when two dudes started hassling me. That was their first mistake. They pulled knives. That was their second mistake. They didn't know how to use them. That was the last mistake they ever made. I got two 99-year sentences, back to back.

    Frank Morris: Seems like you could've pleaded self-defense.

    English: The dudes were white, man. Just like you.

  • Frank Morris: Something special about those steps?

    English: The higher you sit, the more status you got. So we kind of play King of the Mountain. Except here we don't play for fun, man.

    Frank Morris: And you're King?

    English: Yeah.

    [Morris walks down the steps]

    English: Now I figure there's two reasons why you didn't sit down on my step. Either you're too scared, or you just hate niggers. Now which is it, boy? You too scared? Hmm?

    Frank Morris: [Morris climbs back up and sits next to English] Nah. I just hate niggers.

  • Frank Morris: Tell me, you stopped killing white people?

    English: Why?

    Frank Morris: Well, next time I wouldn't turn my back on ya.

  • Frank Morris: Goodbye, boy.

    English: So long, boy.

  • English: Sometimes I think that's all this place is. One... long... count. The prisoners count the hours, the bulls count the prisoners and the king bulls count the counts.

  • English: [after Doc chopped off his fingers] I heard about Doc, and I know why he did it. Somebody took away his painting privileges.
