(taglines) Lance I had a hard enough time trying to get this girl as a rich white man. Do you know how hard it's going to be to try to get her as a broke black man? My father's so cheap... that when we went to bed, he'd unplug the alarm clocks. "You can't tell time when you are asleep." [after learning that he wasn't supposed to die] You killed me! You killed me! You killed me! Tiger Woods, Y'all, Tiger Woods, Y'all! Tiger, Tiger, Tiger, Tiger, Tiger Woods, Y'all! Shut up before I crush you with my wallet! From now on, we need to make a new slogan. If you get shot in the head, you get a bed. If you head is bloody, we're your buddy. Didn't your momma ever tell you to carry an extra handcuff key? We're going in there. If you can walk, let's walk. If you can't walk, it's time to roll. If you have crutches, then crutch your ass in there! Quotes Mr. King: First, you make Frank Sinatra wait for a table... Keyes: He didn't have a jacket. Mr. King: HE'S FRANK SINATA! HE CAN WEAR WHATEVER HE WANTS! Lance: Look, I don't have a problem with Sontee. I want to ask her on a date. Mrs. Wellington: Oh, Charles! Lance: Don't "Oh, Charles" me! You were going to have sex on the pool table! You got an 8 ball in your ass! Taglines A story of premature reincarnation.
