Quotes 

• Al : Abe didn't say he was bringing a friend

  [nods to Eddie as he is sitting down, not bothering to shake Eddie's outstretched hand] 

  Al : . Hi, I'm Al.

  Eddie Dash : Hi.

  [hand still outstretched, looks at it, confused when Al doesn't shake his hand] 

  Al : So Abe? Where ya been all this time? Last I heard you were down in the jungle area someplace.

  George : [looks to Eddie]  Eddie...

  Al : Something the matter, Abe?

  Eddie Dash : No, nothing's wrong Al! My man just doesn't like to talk...

  Al : [interrupts]  Hey, I'm askin' Abe.

  [looks back to George, awaiting an answer] 

  Eddie Dash : Well, he can't talk about it right now. But I Can.

  Al : Hey! Butt out, shithead!

  George : [nervously shakes his head]  Eddie, Eddie...

  Eddie Dash : Listen Al...

  Al : [interrupts again]  Hey! butt out, shithead! I'm talkin' to A, mmmmpphhh!

  [George has clamped his hand over Al's face and is nose to nose with Al] 

  George : I don't like it when you call my friend a shithead!

  George : And if you do it one more time, I'll cut your fuckin' balls off! Which is something I'm very good at!

  [releases Al's face]

  [looks to Eddie] 

  George : , just don't call him...

  [Al shakes his head nervously] 

  George : all right. Maybe I had you pegged wrong.

  Al : I'm sorry, I...

  Eddie Dash : Hey, no big thang! You know, people call me shithead all the time! Just like if you were bringing me a lot of money, and you handed it to me and said, here shithead,

  [Al nervously shakes his head no, not wanting to set George off again] 

  Eddie Dash : you know what I would say? Thank you, Al!
