Rodney : If God created anything better than crack cocaine, he kept that shit for hisself. I mean, that shit is like truth serum. It will truly expose who you are. I mean, you happen to be a low-life rat bastard motherfucker, who will sell off his newborn for a suck off that glass dick, crack will bring it right on in the light. Now, I don't care you black, white, Chinese, rich, poor. You take that first hit, you on a mission. And that mission will never end. Even when the house, the money, loved ones are gone, they send you to the joint, you still gonna try to cop.
Ronald 'Strike' Dunham : No doubt.
Rodney : Only time it ends, Strike, that mission, when you six feet under.

Ronald 'Strike' Dunham : [In Rodney's car; Rodney gives him crap about abandoning his post to be questioned by Klein] Aw, man. Fuck you, Rodney.
Rodney : [silently pulls over to the shoulder] Excuse me?
[punches Strike in the stomach]
Rodney : Who the *fuck* are you talking to like that? Are you out of your motherfucking mind?
[pulls Strike down on his lap]
Rodney : Huh? You think I'm one of these crew-niggas sitting on the project?
[punches him again]
Rodney : BENCH, motherfucker!
[grabs a gun from the backseat and sticks it in his mouth]
Rodney : Open yo mouth, nigga. Now you feel that? I'll put this gun in yo bad-breaf-smellin' mouth and I will pull the trigger. And I will splatter what little motherfuckin' brains you got all over the Corinthian leather interior of my car! And this my wife's brand new car, so you know I don't give a fuck. You understand me? *Do you understand me, bitch?*
[Strike nods]
Rodney : And let me tell you something else... if I ever hear about you talking to that "homocide" one more time, that Rocco motherfucker - I mean, I don't care if it's the light of day - if I hear my name coming up in this at all and I heard it was from *you*, then I'm gonna kill you. I mean you are 187 on the strength, you understand me? *Do you understand me?*
[Strike complies]
Rodney : Word is bond.
[takes the gun out of his mouth and pushes him off]
Rodney : Now get yo motherfuckin' ass out my car.
