I don't need no math. I got a solar calculator with my dozen donuts.

Tito Just don't ever let her know that you dig her. That's, like, the worst thing you can do with a woman.
I know the ones, the twos...the threes (shows him The Finger)
(whispering)
Ahhh The Fingerman ehh?. I am The Fingerman too; you know what I can do? I can multiply by nine. Three times nine? (starts counting with his fingers) one..two..three, what do you got? (shows fingers) twenty seven; six times nine, one..two..three..four..five..six, what do you got? (shows fingers again) fifty four; how about something more difficult? How about eight times nine? one..two..three..four..five..six..seven..eight, what do you got? (shows fingers a third time) seventy two.
[Angel and the little vato enter the classroom, trailed by another]
Are your friends auditing?
I audited them to come with me.
[Angel doesn't want anyone to see him carrying books around]
Wouldn't want anyone thinking you're intelligent, would you?
[Angel reaches for a pen in Jaime's shirt pocket; Jaime grabs his wrist]
I wouldn't do that if I was you. Might lose a finger and won't be able to count to ten.
Tito [Escalante wakes a sleeping Tito in class]
I dreamed I was swimming with dolphins whispering imaginary numbers and searching for the fourth dimension.
Good! Go back to sleep.
[Jaime is eating at the Delgado family's restaurant, speaking with them about Ana's decision to drop out of Garfield High]
She'll just be a fat winch, waste her life away in your restaurant. You have to understand - she's top student.
Mr. Delgado I started washing dishes for a nickel an hour. Now I own this place. Did I waste my life?
I washed dishes, too, when I first came to this country.
Mr. Delgado Good! Why don't you put on an apron and give us a hand?
Ana could go to college, come back, and teach you how to run this place.
Mr. Delgado [He tears up the tab for Jaime's dinner]
Professor Escalante, I don't want your money. And I don't need your business.
[He reaches into his wallet, dropping the money on the table anyway]
Tip, for Ana. By the way, I notice you put hot chillies in your dip to sell extra beer - don't you?
Raquel Ortega
[Jaime is using girlfriends as the variables in an algebraic equation]
Can you have negative girlfriends?
No, only negative boyfriends. Forgive them, for they not know what they do.
