Cookie: Okay, look I know I've been out of the game for a while but I've still got my instincts. And you've got to trust me. Hakeem is good but you are more talented---
Jamal: Would you stop pitting him against me? He's my brother.
Cookie: I will talk about him any way I want.
Cookie: You better be glad I don't feel like no scene today, cuz I shut it down.
Lucious: You look nice.
Come out and you're on your own. I'm done.
Lucious [to Jamal]

Jamal: She wants me to come out the same day that you perform at Leviticus and get your press.
Hakeem: She's Satan's daughter. Why is she even here? Ain't she supposed to be locked up for like ten more years?
Cookie: You don't need to drop him because of the shooting. Drop him because his music sucks.
Fo Fo: Now who is this stupid bitch?
Cookie: Someone who would have never gave birth to your ugly ass.
Lucious: Play with Hakeem at Leviticus's opening.
Fo Fo: Play back up to your son?
Lucious: No, no, no, no, no. You're, you're more like a mentor to him, like Diana Ross did for the Jackson Five.
Fo Fo: Who's Diana Ross?
Stop it. I know you're sick. Is that why you're doing this crazy IPO thing? Is that why you're pitting your sons against one another for your company?
Becky [to Lucious]
Listen to me, for most people cancelling a doctor's appointment is just lazy. But for someone who's bipolar, it's life-threatening. And your life is mine.
Rhonda [to Andre]
You can fool this country you legit, but I know you ain't nothing but a punk ass gangster.
