Do the Right Thing 1989 quotes, page 2

Buggin' Out: You almost knocked me down, man. The word is "Excuse me".

Ah, excuse me. I'm sorry.
Buggin' Out: Not only did ya knock me down, you stepped on my brand-new white Air Jordans I just bought, and that's all you can say is "Excuse me"?

What, are you serious?
Buggin' Out: Yeah, I'm serious. I'll **** you up quick two times.

Ahmad

Two times.
Buggin' Out: Who told you to step on my sneakers? Who told you to walk on my side of the block? Who told you to be in my neighborhood?

I own this brownstone.
Buggin' Out: Who told you to buy a brownstone on my block, in my neighborhood, on my side of the street? Yo, what you wanna live in a black neighborhood for, anyway? Man, mother**** gentrification.

Buggin' Out: You the man.

Mookie

No, you the man.
Buggin' Out: You the man.

Mookie

No, you the man.
Buggin' Out: No, I'm just a struggling black man trying to keep my dick hard in a cruel and harsh world.

Sal

This ain't about money. I couldn't give a **** about money. You see this ****in' place? I built this ****in' place! With my bare ****in' hands! Every light socket, every piece of tile. Me! With these ****in' hands! [throws Mookie's pay in a wad of bills] You got $500. You're a rich ****in' man now, ya happy?...You're wealthy, Mookie. You're a real ****in' Rockefeller! You got your ****in' pay, now leave me alone, huh?

Pino

Mookie's not to be trusted...No mulignan can be trusted. The first time you turn your back, boom! The spear right here, man, in the back....I want you to be on ****in' guard, man....You be on guard 'cause Mookie has Pop conned, so we gotta look out for him.

Da Mayor

Doctor, those that'll tell don't know, and those that know won't tell.

If we don't stop this and stop it now, we gonna do something we're gonna regret for the rest of our lives. Sal and his boys had nothing to do with what the cops did....Leave him alone.

Let me tell you the story of right hand-left hand. It's a tale of good and evil. Hate: it was with this hand that Cain iced his brother. Love: these five fingers, they go straight to the soul of man. The right hand: the hand of love. The story of life is this: static. One hand is always fighting the other hand, and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand—Love—is finished. But hold on, stop the presses; the right hand is coming back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes now, that's right. Ooh, it's a devastating right and Hate is hurt. He's down. Left-Hand Hate KO-ed by Love.

My people, my people, what can I say; say what I can. I saw it but didn't believe it; I didn't believe what I saw. Are we gonna live together? Together, are we gonna live?

The last time I trusted you, Mookie, I ended up with a son.

This is Mister Senor Love Daddy, your voice of choice. The world's only 12-hour strongman on the air, here on We Love Radio, 108 FM, the last on your dial, but first in your hearts, and that's the truth, Ruth. Here I am. Am I here? You know it. It ya know. This is Mister Senor Love Daddy doing the nasty to your ears, your ears to the nasty. I's only play the platters that matter. The matters they platter, and that's the truth, Ruth.... Doing the yin and the yang, the hip and the hop, the stupid, fresh thing, the flippity-flop. I have today's forecast for you. Hot! The color for today is black. That's right, black. So you can absorb some of these rays and save that heat for winter. So you wanna get on out there and wear that black and be involved! Also, today's temperature's gonna rise up over 100 degrees. So that's a Jheri curl alert. If you have Jheri curl, stay in the house, or you'll end up with a permanent plastic helmet on your head forever....

You know somethin'? There's nothin' like a family in business, working together. I'm gonna rename the place. I'm gonna call it 'Sal and Sons Famous Pizzeria.' Why not? You guys are gonna take it over someday anyway, right? And Mookie, Mookie, I wanna tell you that there's always gonna be a place for you here, right here at Sal's, Sal's Famous Pizzeria, because you've always been like a son to me.
