Foxy Brown (1974)

Rodney Grier: Dawes

Quotes 

• Dawes : What do you really want?

  Foxy Brown : Justice.

  Dawes : For who, your brother?

  Foxy Brown : And why not? It could be your brother too, or your sister, or your children. I want justice for all of them. And I want justice for all the people whose lives are bought and sold, so that a few big shots can climb up on their backs, and laugh at the law, and laugh at human decency. But most of all, I want justice for a man, this man had love in his heart, and he died because he went out of his neighborhood to do what he thought was right.

  Dawes : Sister, I think what you're looking for is revenge. Justice and revenge are two different things.

  Foxy Brown : You just handle the justice, and I'll handle the revenge myself.

• Dawes : [to Foxy]  We've discussed your request and we're not sure whether we want to help you or not. I mean this is a neighborhood committee and this is kind of out of our area.

  Oscar : Maybe the time has come to grow a bit, brother.
