Jaime Escalante: She'll just get fat, waste her life away in your restaurant. You have to understand - she's a top student. Mr. Delgado: I started washing dishes for a nickel an hour. Now I own this place. Did *I* waste *my* life? Jaime Escalante: I washed dishes, too, when I first came to this country. Mr. Delgado: Good! Why don't you put on an apron and give us a hand? Jaime Escalante: ...Ana could go to college, come back, and teach you how to run this place. Mr. Delgado: Professor Escalante, I don't want your money. And I don't need your business. Jaime Escalante: Tip, for Ana. By the way, I notice you put hot chilies in your dip to sell extra beer - don't you?

Jaime Escalante: You only see the turn, you don't see the road ahead.
Angel: Hey, Kemo, you should be proud of me, man! I'm the first dude here. What's calcoolus?
Jaime Escalante: Wouldn't want anyone thinking you're intelligent, would you?
Jaime Escalante: I want the original scores reinstated.
Jaime Escalante: Tough guys don't do math. Tough guys fry chicken for a living.
Jaime Escalante: You're like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there!
Jaime Escalante: It's not that they're stupid, it's just they don't know anything.
Tito: ...Just don't ever let her know that you dig her. That's, like, the worst thing you can do with a woman.
Jaime Escalante: I wouldn't do that if I was you. Might lose a finger and won't be able to count to ten.
Jaime Escalante: Now you got a ticket to watch the show
Jaime Escalante: Students will rise to the level of expectation, Senor Molina.
Jaime Escalante: Calculus was not made to be easy. It already is.
Jaime Escalante: If we discuss sex, I have to give sex for homework.
Jaime Escalante: My kids could teach you a thing or two, Johnny.
Lupe: Kemo, we're seniors. This is our year to slack off

Jaime Escalante: I wouldn't do that if I was you. Might lose a finger and won't be able to count to ten.
Jaime Escalante: ... There will be no free rides, no excuses. You already have two strikes against you: your name and your complexion. Because of those two strikes, there are some people in this world who will assume that you know less than you do. *Math* is the great equalizer... When you go for a job, the person giving you that job will not want to hear your problems; ergo, neither do I. You're going to work harder here than you've ever worked anywhere else. And the only thing I ask from you is *ganas.* *Desire.* Jaime Escalante: And maybe a haircut. Jaime Escalante: If you don't have the *ganas,* I will give it to you because I'm an expert.
Rafaela Fuentes: Can you have negative girlfriends? Jaime Escalante: No, only negative boyfriends. Forgive us, for we know not what we do.
Jaime Escalante: ...Did you know that neither the Greeks nor the Romans were capable of using the concept of zero? It was your ancestors, the Mayans, who first contemplated the zero. The absence of value. True story. You *burros* have math in your blood... A negative times a negative equals a positive. Why? Jaime Escalante: We're gonna need a lot of Kleenexes - there's gonna be a lot of bloodshed.
Dr. Ramirez: How'd you do it? Angel: I got the test ahead of time and passed it out to all the others? Dr. Pearson: How did you get it? Angel: The Mailman Angel: I strangled him and his body's decomposing in my locker.
Jaime Escalante: You know what kills me... it's that they lost the confidence in the system they're now finally qualified to be a part of. I don't know why I'm losing sleep over this. I don't need it. I could be making more money, with less hours, and have people treat me with respect. Fabiola Escalante: Respect? Jaime, those kids love you.
Claudia: You're worried that we'll screw up royally tomorrow, aren't you? Jaime Escalante: Tomorrow's another day. I'm worried you're gonna screw up the rest of your lives.
Pancho: Kemo, I don't wanna let you down but the money I'd be making'll buy me a new Trans Am. Jaime Escalante: No one cruise through life, Pancho. Wouldn't you rather be designing these things than repairing them? Can't even do that, things got fuel injection - Pancho: Kemo, you're gonna strip my gears, man! Jaime Escalante: Don't panic, Johnny, just watch out for the other guy - Jaime Escalante: Right or left? Pancho: GO RIGHT! GO RIGHT! Jaime Escalante: Jaime Escalante: All you can see is the turn, don't see the road ahead...
Pancho: Don't laugh! Jaime Escalante: How can we laugh? You're breaking our hearts.
Chuco: Lots of stars up there, Homey. Not too polluted. Angel: The stars aren't really there, ese. No, what you're looking at is where they used to be, man. It takes the light a thousand years to reach the Earth. You know, for all we know, they burned out a long time ago, man. God pulled the plug on us. He didn't tell nobody. Chuco: The stars are out there, homeboy. I don't care what you say.
Escalante: Are your friends auditing? Chuco: I audited them to come with me.
Jaime Escalante: This girl's gotta do some work from the neck up. We're going to have to stay late again. Of course you know, we have pizza because they deliver. We can get fried chicken, hamburgers with cheese. We'll need donations. No, really, you owe me money anyway. You don't deserve the grades you're getting. Jaime Escalante: Where are you going? Late for another date? She's got more boyfriends than Elizabeth Taylor. Claudia: I don't appreciate you using my personal life to entertain this class.
Jaime Escalante: Hey, what you got? Pancho: I got a core. Jaime Escalante: You owe me a hundred percent. And I'll see you in the People's Court.
Jaime Escalante: Either I teach calculus next year, or have a good day. Raquel: Well, if this man can dictate terms to us, I see no reason for me to continue as department chair.

Jaime Escalante: Go to woodshop and make yourself a shoeshine box. You're gonna need it. Angel: You the man, you know? Why don't you put them in college, huh? So dumb taco benders like me can pick their vegetables for them, collect their garbage, clip their poodles' toenails. I may be a sinner, but I'm willing to pay for my sins. Jaime Escalante: Right. See you at three. Angel: I got more bad news for you, *profe.* I know this is really gonna trip you out, but... I forgot my pencil.
Angel: Yeah, I have the same answer as gordita. Lupe: Don't call me gordita, pendejo.
Dr. Ramirez: Nobody has the right to accuse me of racism. Dr. Ramirez: Nobody has the right to accuse me of racism.
