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...

 * 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!
