Car Wash Quotes

Duane: Why don't you tell everybody how you "got so rich" Daddy Rich? This is one nigger you aint fooling! I'm onto the game you're running to these people here.
Daddy Rich: What can I do for you, brother?
Duane: The same thing you're doing for everyone else. Nothing!
Daddy Rich: Guess you don't believe in my church. The Church of Divine Economic Spiritual Light.
Duane: Yeah, that's right. I don't belive in it.
Daddy Rich: So, you don't belive in God?
Duane: Not "your" God. I'm a Muslim.
Daddy Rich: My God's doing all right by me. Why don't you come on board brother, and I'll take you nearer to God thy hee, and I'll show you everything it takes to make it with money. 'Cause it's better to have money than not having it. There is a good place in this world for money and I know where it is. It's right here in my pocket!
Duane: You talkin' just like a pimp! [everyone jeers and looks as Duane with scorn]

Movie: Car Wash
Lonnie: Mr. B, about Abdullah... I'm really sorry about Abdullah. I know he's really wired up. I wish you'd think about giving him another chance.
Mr. B: I gave him a thousand chances. That's it! I don't want that belligerent trouble maker around my car wash anymore.
Lonnie: Mr. B, the man is just confused. He really is.
Mr. B: Lonnie, now is not the time.
Lonnie: Mr. B, every week I keep trying to talk to you, and every week you keep telling me "now is not the time". I've been working for you for over a year now. When is it gonna be time?
Mr. B: Look, I don't want to talk to you anymore about Duane! Okay?
Lonnie: Okay, let's don't talk about "Duane". Let's talk about me. I got to have more money, Mr. B. And I can't make it on what your payin' me right now. I've got two children to raise all by myself.
Mr. B: Lonnie, I can't. That Blue Bird Car Wash down the street is driving me out of business...
Lonnie: Mr. B, I keep telling you, you've got a big lot here! If you organize this thing right and spend a little money here and there, you could be making twice as much as you are now!
Mr. B: Lonnie, I know you've got ideas. You've got ideas. Don't I always pay you extra for opening and closing? [shaking his head with frustration and disgust, Lonnie walks out]
