Mateo: Tell you what? If I was a Pachuco, I would slit his throat for what he did.
Raul: That is your brother. You respect him. You think he wanted any of this? Jesus Christ, I'd rather be any fucking thing in this world than Tiago. He's not one of us. He's not one of them. He's a cop. He's a Chicano. He doesn't know what the fuck he is. You want to see a hermano? You look in his eyes. You be kind.
Beck: And now you think you're going to get that road built on the graves of four dead cops and eight dead Mexicans.
Townsend: Yes, ma'am. I call it healing this city's wounds in concrete and asphalt.
If you think I'm going to let you turn the Los Angeles City Council into your own little Third Reich, you are sadly mistaken, sir. I've been knocking down piss-pot fascists like you since you were at your mama's titty. You want a war, honey? You got it.
Beck
Tiago: This your day off?
Molly: That, sir, I never have. There's always work, isn't there? So many poor souls.
Tiago: It's hard to leave them behind. They just stay in your head.
Tiago: You're not a freak.
Molly: Oh, that I am. I was raised to be. All around me, the other snake-handlers and con men. And me, singing my heart out. Little Sister Molly.
Come on, don't make me hurt you. I had about the worst week of my life, too. And, believe me, when a Jew says that, it fucking means something.

You have a singular gift for repellant rhetoric and putrid demagoguery, I give you that. But then, you, in turn, must allow me this. I speak for Adolf Hitler. I speak, not for tonight, but for the next thousand years. And when the Wehrmacht is marching down Sunset Blvd, you will either be at our side or under our boots. Now, which is it to be, Herr Monkey?
Goss
Sometimes the cops bring razors to slash up our clothes so we're not Pachuco anymore, right? Baby, I'm Pachuco stark naked strutting down Wiltshire.
Rio
Rio: We gotta get our piece of that American Dream.
Rico: That isn't for us.
Rio: That's exactly for us. You take what you want. You make your way up. You use your brains. You use your nerve. No one's going to give us anything, Rico, so we make them. First, we make them look. Then, we make them scared. We are Pachuco. We are Chicano. We are Aztec. We are Spade. We are Wop. We are Dago. We are Chink. We are Queer. We are everything they fear. And we go out dancing.
It's a wicked old world and it's only got you and me to save it.
Lewis
