Boyz n the Hood (1991)

Furious Styles: So you a leader or a follower?
Tre Styles: I'm a leader.
Furious Styles: Okay, then. What's the three rules? Break it down for me. And, hey... think before you answer.
Tre Styles: Always look a person in the eye. Do that, they respect you better.
     Two was to never be afraid to ask you for anything. Stealing isn't necessary.
     And the last one, I think, was... to never respect anybody who doesn't respect you back. That right?
Furious Styles: Yeah. Yeah, you got it.

Furious Styles: What do you know about sex?
Tre Styles: I know a little bit.
Furious Styles: Oh, yeah? What little bit is that?
Tre Styles: I know, I take a girl... stick my thing in her... and nine months later a baby comes out.
Furious Styles: You think that's it?
Tre Styles: Basically, yeah.
Furious Styles: Well, remember this: Any fool with a dick can make a baby, but only a real man can raise his kids.

Furious Styles: I don't know why you insist on learning things the hard way... but you gonna learn. Oh, yeah, you gonna learn!

Furious Styles: So how you guys think you did on the test?
Tre Styles: All right, I guess.
Furious Styles: Those tests are culturally biased. The only universal part is the math.

Ricky Baker: I don't know about all this. Got us walking around Compton and all.
Furious Styles: Rick, it's the '90s. We can't afford to be afraid of our own people anymore.

Furious Styles: What we need to do is keep everything in our neighborhood black. Black-owned with black money. Just like the Jews, the Italians, the Mexicans and the Koreans do.

Furious Styles: Ain't nobody from outside bringing down the property value. It's these folk! Shooting each other and selling that crack rock and shit.
     How you think crack gets into the country? We don't own any planes. We don't own no ships. We are not the people who are flying and floating that shit in here. Every time you turn on a TV, that's what you see. Black people selling the rock, pushing the rock. Yeah, I know. It wasn't a problem when it was here. Wasn't a problem until it was in Iowa... and on Wall Street where there's hardly any black people.
     If you want to talk about guns... why is it that there's a gun shop on every corner here?.. I'll tell you why. Same reason there's a liquor store on every corner in the black community. Why? They want us to kill ourselves. You go out to Beverly Hills, you don't see that shit. They want to us to kill ourselves.
     The best way to destroy a people is to take away their ability to reproduce. Who is it that's dying out here on these streets every night? Y'all.
