- "You know how this goes? If you win, you get whatever you want up in this joint, booze, bitches, extra rations, shit like that."
"I don't want none of that."
"What kinda n***a are you?"
"The kind that doesn't like being called a n***a." - ―Comanche and Carl Lucas[src]
- "Last time was a test. Rackham says you don't change your mind, we give you time in the infirmary to think about it."

"Who are you again?" - ―Mariah Dillard and Comanche[src]

- "See your man Shades came up real quickly while we were gone."
"Yeah, he's ridin' high."
"Listen, this game might be chess, but it ain't no rocket science. I'm gonna tell you like a n***a told me, never underestimate how quickly old pussy can raise a man's stature to new heights." - ―Cockroach Hamilton and Comanche[src]
- "I'm just saying, if you can't explain the scam to a seven year old, you're probably the one getting scammed."

"I should." - ―Comanche and Mariah Dillard[src]
- "There's only so much I can do. If I push too hard, Shades will know somethin' is up."

Spoken by Darius Jones[]
Dialogue[]
- "You want us all to spill blood with the Jamaican cats, who, against your advice, she sold her gun business to?"

"Ray Ray was good people. Now, the rest? The Jamaicans kill them to put Mariah onto front street. Which makes me ask again, what's it got to do with you?" - ―Comanche and Shades[src]
- "Come on, man! Cats out here getting their heads cut off. Maybe we survive, maybe we don't, I'm just saying how I feel."
"I would die for you, Che. That'll never change. But it is what it is."
"We need to find Lucas, we're wasting out time here."
"No time is ever really wasted. Time reveals all." - ―Comanche and Shades[src]

Spoken about Darius Jones[]
- "Somebody has been running their goddamn mouth. I hate nothing more than a dirty-ass snitch. I'm with Ridenhour, I should be talking about heads on pikes, crying my eyes out, being the victim.

- ―Mariah Dillard to Comanche[src]
Dialogue[]

- "I was gonna get us both out, like he said."

- "He was a soldier, like his daddy."
- ―Janis Jones to Shades[src]
Episode 2.11: The Creator[]
Spoken about Darius Jones[]
- "You have been off-kilter ever since dirty-ass snitch died. What's his name? Yeah, all those looks he gave me, all that heat. So, y'all were just gay for the stay? Or was it a true Brokeback romance? No surprises, a woman knows who her man played around with. I just wish I pulled the trigger on Comanche's snitching black ass, I would've popped him twice in the gut, so he could bleed out slow and you could watch."
- ―Mariah Stokes to Shades[src]
