- Wanda McCullough: off limits.
- Bernie 'Mac' McCullough: But that's Bernie Mac's Puffs! Takin' away below the belt. Now THAT'S below the belt. It's extortion, I tell you, and I'm not having it. You can't blackmail this black male. Bernie Mac strong.
- Bernie 'Mac' McCullough: [after finding out Jordan bought a telescope with money Bernie gave him for medicine] You little sneak. You think this is funny? You in big troubles with me, young man. I mean big trouble.
- Vanessa 'Nessa' Thomkins: You can't punish him.
- Bernie 'Mac' McCullough: Watch and see if I don't!
- Vanessa 'Nessa' Thomkins: You just mad 'cause he played you.
- Bernie 'Mac' McCullough: He didn't play me, he stole from me. The boy stole. It's called the way it is.
- Wanda McCullough: You could have at least given Jordan dessert before you sent him to his room.

- Vanessa 'Nessa' Thomkins: Nothing, Warden.
- Bernie 'Mac' McCullough: You can go right in the room and join him!
