Fritz the Cat 1972 quotes, page 2

Why does a great actor like James Earl Jones always have to play black men?

Hey, man, you in a bag?

Yeah, that's it. I'm in a bag.

Just don't lose your coolness, cat. I mean, don't lose your coolness.

Well, easy for you to talk. You're a crow. I wish I was a crow. If I was a crow, I'd fly away, man. I'd fly away from this miserable town for good.

You think being a crow is a big mother**** ball? All you cats the same, man. You don't know where it is. There's nobody to tell you where it's at. And you come up here, try to find out where it's at, but you got to be up here, man, to find out what's happening!

I know it isn't a ball, man. I studied the race problems. I know.

You don't know nothing about the race problem! You gotta be a crow to know about the race problem! You know what I mean? Do you dig where I'm at? You know what I'm talking about?

Well, listen, man. this thing affects me very deeply, fella. As a cat, I have a considerable guilt complex, because my kind have always brought suffering on your kind.

Yeah?

Yeah. Yes, indeed, my soul is tortured and tormented by this racial crisis.

No sh*t?

Sometimes I really get hung up about it. You know, uptight. Strung out.

ln a bag?

Yeah, in a bag.

There's the one who keeps the bosses in power! He's the one who's holding you down!

Who, me?

You!

No, no, not me, YOU!

No You!

No You!

You, You, You!

Me!

Not me, YOU!

Yeah you!

You!

**** you!
Ralph (Pig Cop #2): You first!

I know about the race problem - I've studied the race problem!

You don't know nothing about the race problem! You've got to be a crow to know about the race problem!

Why'd you have to hit her so hard for?

She loved it. Listen man, me and you have been assigned to blow up the power plant. That's all I care about. The Revolution.

You're full of shit! All you care about is a reason to hurt, to destroy, to blow up!

You're a mother**** bitch!

I see the hard facts of life! I am realistic, something you're incapable of! You'd be better off with one of those stupid little morons like Charlene who you could just sleep with and throw away when you're done! You can't cope with a mature woman!

Hi.

How are you?

High.

Let me call 'em preverts!

What's a "prevert"?

A prevert is a degenerate! Didn't you know that?

A prevert's a degenerate?

Didn't you have no bringing up?

I got bar mitzvahed.
[Ralph laughs]

No, I knew that - the engine's not here, it's in the back...

What's wrong, Fritz?

Well, it's all very complicated Winston, ah, I think it's got the piston rod stuck in the drive shaft... either that or the carburator's rusted out... or something.

Hello men... everybody all busy studyin' for the goddamn exams and all? Hey Fuzz, how'd it go with that Dee Dee chick, huh? She's got some bod' you have to admit, heh... ol' Charlene isn't bad either though right?... like, wow. Heinz! You swine, ol' buddy pig, ya groove behind Alvina and get some kicks tonight, huh? [laughs][Scene fades into black]. Bastards... you'd think the goddamn exams were the be-all and, end-all of existence... the cosmic life-force or somethin'. Y'd think they were the frickin' fugitives. Can't even get in a few decent words to a guy... bastards... What a bore they just sit there and take bennies an' stay up all night with their face stuck in a bunch of books an' their thumb up their ass. Oh Yes, yes I remember when the time when it was all very inspiring and enlightening... all this history and literature and sociology sh*t... You think learning is a really big thing an' you become this big ****in' intellectual and sit around tryin' ta out-intellectual all the other big ****in' intellectuals... you spend years and years with your nose buried in these goddamn tomes. While the world is passin' you by... and all the stuff to see and all th' kicks an' girls are all out there... an' ME, a writer an' a poet who should be havin' adventures an' experiencing all the diversities and paradoxes and ironies of life! And passin' over all the roads of the world! An' diggin' all the cities and towns and rives... and the oceans... and making all of them chicks... [Imagines naked woman] As a writer and poet it is my duty to get out there and dig the world... to swing with the whole friggin' scene while there's still time! [Grabs paper] My farting around days are over baby! From this day on I shall live every day as if it was my last! Yeah! Yeah! I must do it! No more the dreary boring classes, the dismal lectures, the sitting around bullsh*tting with pretentious fat-ass hippies, no more the books, the spoutings of a bunch of old farts who think they know the whole goddamn score! [Gathers all the papers into a big pile] Ha Ha! Heh Heh. Heh.[Breathes fire] Oh my God! What have I done? Oh...man. [We see the roof of Fritz's dorm on fire] I've set all my notes and books and stuff on fire an' uh, now I can't study for my exams...An' I'll flunk out an' my folks'll be pissed off as hell... I-I'll get a blanket... the blanket's on fire. Man we'd better call the fire department.

WE SHALL OVERCOME!

Hey, hey, hey, Look at this big **** gun! [shoots the toilet] I killed the john! I killed the john!

I've been up and down the four corners of this big old world. I've seen it all and I've done it all. I've fought many a good man, and I've laid many a good woman and if there's one thing I've learned it's.. it's... it's you get over here and you get down there like that an then you blondie... [Fritz starts dragging all three girls to the bed and jump and the and removed their clothes and Fritz removed the bandages Having sexual pleasure with the girls]

Mother of God, I'm a **** fugitive!

My soul is tormented! I've been up and down the four corners of this big old world! I've seen it all! I've done it all! I've fought many a good man, and laid many a good woman! I've had riches and fame and adventure...I've tasted life to the fullest, and still my soul cries out, yes, cries out in this hungry, tortured, wrecked quest: 'More!'
