Pino quotes from Do the Right Thing (1989)

Mookie

Pino, **** you, **** your **** pizza, and **** Frank Sinatra.

Pino

Yeah? Well, **** you, too, and **** Michael Jackson.

Buggin' Out: Hey, hey, Sal, how come you ain't got no brothers up on the wall here?

Sal

You want brothers up on the wall, get your own place. You can do what you want to do. You can put your brothers and uncles and nieces and nephews, step-fathers, step-mothers, whoever you want. See? But, this is my pizzeria. American Italians up on the wall.

Take it easy, Pop.

Pino

Don't start.
Buggin' Out: Yeah, that might be fine, Sal, but, you own this, rarely do I see any American Italians eatin' in here. All I see is Black folks. So since we spend much money here, we do have some say.

Sal

You lookin' for trouble? You a troublemaker, is that what you are? You makin' trouble?
Buggin' Out: Yeah! I'm a troublemaker. I'm makin' trouble.

Sal

You're a ball breaker. Always comin' in here lookin' for trouble, aren't you. Suppose I busted your head. How would you - Now, Mookie. Mookie, you wanna get your friend outta here.
Buggin' Out: Oh, you wanna kick me out now? You're gonna kick me out, huh?

Sal

Nah, I'm not kickin' you out. You're kickin' yourself out.
Buggin' Out: What? Look, we want some brothers up on the wall. Yo, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela, you know, Michael Jordan. Tomorrow!

Pino

Daddy, you know, I've been thinking... maybe we should sell this place, get out while we're still ahead... and alive.

Sal

You really think you know what's best for us, Pino?

Pino

Maybe we can... can we sell this and open up a new one in our own neighborhood?

Sal

There's too many pizzerias already there.

Pino

Then maybe we could... we could try something different.

Sal

What am I gonna do? What am I - that's all I know. What am I doing? I been here twenty-five years. Where am I going?

Pino

I'm sick of ****. It's like I come to work, it's Planet of the Apes. I don't like being around them. They're animals.

Sal

Why you got so much anger in you?

Pino

Why? I'll tell you why. My friends, they laugh at me. They laugh right in my face. They tell me, "Go to Bed-Stuy. Go feed the moulies".

Sal

Do your friends put money in your pocket, Pino? Food on your table? They pay your rent, a roof over your head? They're not your friends. If they were your friends they wouldn't laugh at you.

Pino

Pop, what can I say? I don't want to be here. They don't want us here. We should stay in our own neighborhood, stay in Bensonhurst, and the **** should stay in theirs.

Sal

I never had no trouble with these people. I sat in this window. I watched these little kids get old. And I seen the old people get older. Yeah, sure, some of them don't like us, but most of them do. I mean, for Christ's sake, Pino, they grew up on my food. On my food. And I'm very proud of that. Oh, you may think It's funny, but I'm very proud of that. Look, what I'm trying to say, son, is, uh... Sal's Famous Pizzeria is here to stay. I'm sorry. I'm your father, and I love you, I'm sorry but... but that's the way it is.

Mookie

Pino, who's your favorite basketball player?

Pino

Magic Johnson.

Mookie

And who's your favorite movie star?

Pino

Eddie Murphy.

Mookie

And who's your favorite rock star?

Mookie

Prince. You're a Prince freak.

Pino

Boss. Bruce.

Mookie

Prince.

Pino

Bruce!

Mookie

Pino, all you ever talk about is **** this and **** that, and all your favorite people are so-called ****.

Pino

It's different. Magic, Eddie, Prince... are not ****. I mean, they're not black, I mean - Let me explain myself. They're - They're not really black. I mean, they're black, but they're not really black. They're more than black. It's different.

Mookie

It's different?

Pino

Yeah. To me, it's different.

Mookie

You dago, wop, guinea, garlic breath, pizza slinging, spaghetti bending, Vic Damone, Perry Como, Luciano Pavarotti, Sole Mio, non-singing mother****er.

Pino

You gold teeth, gold chain wearing, fried chicken and biscuit eating, monkey, ape, baboon, big thigh, fast running, high jumping, spear chucking, three-hundred-sixty-degree basketball dunking, titsun, spade, mulignan. Take your **** pizza piece and go the **** back to Africa.

You little slanty eyed, me-no-speaky-American, own-every-fruit-and-vegetable-stand-in-New-York, bullshit, Reverend Sun Myung Moon, Summer Olympic '88, Korean kickboxing son-of-a-bitch.

You Goya bean eating, fifteen-in-a-car, thirty-in-an-apartment, pointed shoes, red wearing, Menudo, mira-mira Puerto Rican ****. Yeah, you!

It's cheap! I got a good price for you, Mayor Koch, "How-I'm-doing?", chocolate egg cream drinking, bagel and lox, B'nai B'rith, Jew asshole.

Yo! Hold up! Time out! Time out! Y'all take a chill! Ya need to cool that shit out! And that's the double truth, Ruth!

Pino

Maybe we should sell this place. Get out while we're still ahead and alive. Couldn't we sell this and open up a new one in our own neighborhood? I'm sick of ****s. It's like I come to work, it's Planet of the Apes. I don't like being around them. They're animals. They don't want us here. We should stay in our own neighborhood, stay in Bensonhurst, and the **** should stay in theirs.

Sal

I never had no trouble with these people. I sat in this window. I watched these little kids get old. And I seen the old people get older. Yeah, sure, some of them don't like us, but most of them do. I mean, for Christ's sake, Pino, they grew up on my food. On my food. I'm very proud of that....Sal's Famous Pizzeria is here to stay.

Sal

What'd I tell you about that noise?
Buggin' Out: What'd I tell you about them pictures?

Sal

What the ****, are you deaf?
Buggin' Out: No! Are you? **** YOU! We want some black people on that mother**** Wall of Fame now!

Mookie

We're trying to go **** home! We've been here all **** day, Buggin Out!

Sal

Turn that jungle music off! We ain't in Africa!
Buggin' Out: Why it got to be about jungle music? Why it got to be about Africa? It's about them **** pictures!

Sal

It's about turning that shit off and getting the **** out of my place!

Pino

RADIO RAHEEM!

Radio Raheem

**** you!

Sal

AND **** YOU TOO!

Ahmad

Get in there, Pino!

Radio Raheem

This is music. My music!

Sal

**** YOUR MUSIC!

Radio Raheem

Well, turn it off, then.

Hey, man, get the **** out of here! We're **** closed!
Buggin' Out: **** you! We're closing you guinea bastards for good! For good, mother****er! Until you get some black people on that mother**** Wall of Fame!

Sal

You're gonna **** close me?
[Sal grabs his bat] Buggin' Out: You're goddamn right!

Sal

YOU BLACK ****!! I'LL **** TEAR YOUR **** **** ASS!

Oh, we're **** now?! We **** now!
Buggin' Out: YOU **** WHITE TRASH! I'LL **** YOU UP!

Mookie

Sal, put the **** bat down!
Buggin' Out: COME ON, MAN, YOU **** GUINEA TRASH!

Sal

YOU BLACK ****!! YOU **** MOTHER****ER!
[Sal explodes in rage and smashes Radio Raheem's boombox several times with his bat]
