Gene Anthony Ray: Leroy Johnson

Quotes 

• Leroy : You wrote those letters, didn't you?

  Susan : Well, someone had to tell Mr. Dyrenforth the truth.

  Leroy : The truth? Those letters was full o' lies.

  Susan : I knew that's what you'd say. I understand, it's hard to face certain things about oneself.

  Leroy : What the hell are you talking about, girl? For your information, I spent most of my life dealing with bigots, okay? So I bend over backwards to give everybody a fair shake.

  Susan : No, that's why I think you bend over backwards to help your own people.

  Leroy : [scoffs]  You are so wrong.

• Lydia Grant : [waiting on the steps where Leroy lives]  Don't you ever come home?

  Leroy Johnson : [smiling]  I was just wandering around the neighborhood.

  Lydia Grant : Thinking about Susan Perrino?

  Leroy Johnson : [serious]  I knew that's why you're here.

• Leroy Johnson : All right everybody, we have a show to put on. This time let's do it right. Take it from the thunderclap!
