Quotes 

• Friday Foster : I see that I'm going to be getting into something I did not expect.

  Sen. David Lee Hart : What did you expect?

  Friday Foster : You know what I expected? I expected you to be a rat; but, you're different.

  Sen. David Lee Hart : Baby, you forget I'm straight off the block.

  Sen. David Lee Hart : What would I be doing here?

  Noble Franklin : He's our leader. The whole Unity concept is his.

  Friday Foster : But, but the walls...

  Sen. David Lee Hart : The walls of prejudice, of discrimination, of misunderstanding and hate. Every important black leader in the country is here today. We are acting together - as one - for the first time!

• Sen. David Lee Hart : Reverend Franklin not only has a way with prayer, but, beautiful women as well.

• Sen. David Lee Hart : After one divorce and 12 years in Washington, one gets to know his people. More brandy?

  Sen. David Lee Hart : Cloris was only a pal, just a friend. So, we made it a few times; but, our relationship was only physical.

• Friday Foster : Why would he plan his own assassination?

  Sen. David Lee Hart : It's all part of a big power play - to make you believe it's something it isn't.

  Friday Foster : And what's your power play? Are you something you're not too?

  [Sen. Hart moves in for a long kiss] 

  Friday Foster : Now, what will all the gossips say?

  Sen. David Lee Hart : Oh, they will probably say that he made love to one of the most beautiful women DC has ever seen.

  Friday Foster : You're very sure of yourself, aren't you?

  Sen. David Lee Hart : Are you?

• Friday Foster : Does this make any sense to you?

  Sen. David Lee Hart : Suppose you want to destroy Black Power? What other way than to get all of our leaders together in one place and wipe them out?

  Friday Foster : But, I saw blacks with the whites! I saw them!

  Sen. David Lee Hart : Hell, some niggers will do anything for a dollar.
