- Hakeem Lyon: [regarding him and his older girlfriend Camilla] She say we're like the new Antony and Cleopatra.
- Jamal Lyon: Y'all know that's a tragedy where they end up dying at the end, right?
- Lucious Lyon: You know how God made man in his image? I'm making Hakeem in my image. God didn't need no help, and neither do I.
- Lucious Lyon: If you kill me, everyone in this room would applaud. You see the little pretty blonde there? She hates me. My son wants me dead because I saved him from a con artist. But the worst thing that I did - I let the mother of my children rot in jail for 17 years. So trust me, Reg, if you shoot me, you would be everybody's personal hero.
