Billy Ho! Good ta see ya Billy ya look swell!

Rhonda Deane

All I care about is getting out of the Vista View apartments, because there ain't no 'vista', there ain't no "view", and there certainly ain't no vista of no view.

Zeke

No, no, no, no...Billy Boy, this is Ghana. You, my friend, are shooting for The Sudan.

See. if I'm thirsty. I don't want a glass of water, I want you to sympathize. I want you to say, "Gloria, I too know what it feels like to be thirsty. I too have had a dry mouth." I want you to connect with me through sharing and understanding the concept of dry mouthedness.

The money was mine to keep for both of us when Jeopardy called.

Jeopardy is not going to call, when are you going to ****in' wake up.

Jeopardy is going to call Billy, it is my destiny that I triumph magnificently on that show and I'll never do that if I have to wear this stupid hoochie-mama looking dress that you bought me which was obviously a poor excuse to cover up the fact that you **** up again! I'm going to get on that mother**** show, and I'm going to win, because I'm filled with more useless goddamn information than any human being on this **** planet! Whose James K. Polk? How many moons are on Pluto? What's a quince? It's a food, Billy, that starts with the letter Q, and I got seven more! I can't believe you lost the goddamn money!

Referee

Black ball.

Dwight

What the **** do you mean, black ball?

Willie

Are you racist?

Referee

Your jersey, not your skin.

Willie

I knew you were a racist

Dominic Wilson

Parkie you are number 1!

Billy, I have four words for you: "Listen to the Woman".

What the hell does that mean, "Listen to the woman"? I TRIED to listen to the woman and you're the one who talked me out of it.

Wait a minute. I didn't talk you out of anything. I presented you with an option and you took it.

Hey hey man, what's the score? Yo! Chump! I'm talking to you! I'm talking to the **** air.

My name ain't chump, it's Billy Hoyle.

Billy Hoyle. BILLY HOYLE. Billy Hoyle. Okay Billy... can you count to ten, Billy?

Yeah.

Good. What's the score... Billy?

I don't know.

Then you're a chump!

I may be a chump, I just said that wasn't my name.

A white man wants to win first, look good second. A black man wants to look good first, win second.

Another brick! 'Clang, Clang!' I need like a welding torch to play in this league. I'll tell you what: why don't we take all these bricks and build a shelter for the homeless, so maybe your mother will have a place to stay. And your sister too. I want your mother and your sister out of my place immediately!
