• Butterbean Jones : Ugly woman easy to get along with. They don't want no trouble. You can tell an ugly woman anything, can't you? Hey, bitch, l'm going to the moon. l'll be back in a couple of days. ''Well, you be careful. l don't want nothin' to happen to you now, cause you know l - cause l love you. Oh, l love you. Please don't call me a bitch in front of the kids.'' All right, whore, l'll be back in a couple of days. Goddamn.

• Butterbean Jones : l'm from Mississippi and l love it! l like bein' country. l ain't lyin'. Ain't nothin' like a good country lady. Yeah, a girl the other day, l was messin' around with her breast. She got hot. She said, ''Oh, wouldn't you like something to go with this good ol' breast milk?'' l said, ''A good piece of cornbread would go just fine.''

Yeah, that poor fucker. l first met him tryin' out for the Celtics a couple of years ago. He got mad 'cause Robert Parish was on the team. That Larry Bird told me. Larry Bird ain't shit! He got nothin' but a three-pointer. So, fuck, that's all he needs!

• Butterbean Jones : l like women with big asses. Why do brothers drive Cadillacs? Cause you can't get all that ass in a Volkswagen. The first thing they be sayin', ''Kiss my ass''. Some ugly women in here, too, tonight. How you doin'? I didn't - when l said ugly, l was lookin' at your ass.
