I thought only black lads were drug dealers. And Mexicans.
You don’t choose a life, dad. You live one.

Valka: Don’t you know what “Stalin” means, funny man? Means man-of-steel. He takes from rich, and gives to poor.
Zoran: Yes, of course he does. Then he takes both of them, and puts them in Gulag for 25 years.
And when you make love to her,
you feel true, and beautiful
passion, and you, for at least that moment,
lose your fear of death.
I believe that love that is true and real
creates a respite from death.
All cowardice comes from not loving,
or not loving well, which is the same thing.
And when the man who is brave and true
looks Death squarely in the face
like some rhino-hunters I know,
or Belmonte, who’s truly brave.
It is because they love with sufficient
passion, to push death out of their minds,
until it returns, as it does, to all men.
And then you must make really good love again.
I’m the one they let fly around in an unmarked helicopter with a gun in my pocket.
Talent knows when to stop.
Don’t make a mistake when you choose a bride.
Her face has to be flat like a salt lake.
Her eyes have to be narrow.
Evil spirits dive into big eyes…
…and she will go mad…
…seeing things that aren’t there.
And most important:
Don’t forget to look at her legs.
A woman has to have strong legs…
to make a man happy.

Mesh-Head: If I were you, I would run.
Buddy: If you were me, you’d be good-lookin’.
Love is all a matter of timing. It’s no good meeting the right person too soon or too late.
- Once in every lifetime, should there be a great hajj. A great pilgrimage.
- To get to know Allah better?
- Yes, but to know yourself, as well.
