Quotes 

• [while watching the slow-speed chase at O.J.'s house in Rockingham, Robert Kardashian gets a call from the man himself] 

  Robert Kardashian : Juice?

  O.J. Simpson : Bob. Bob, I've been looking for you. I called the house in Encino and you weren't there. I don't know if you heard what's happening.

  Robert Kardashian : Uh, yeah, I heard, Juice. It's on every channel.

  O.J. Simpson : I... I just wanted to tell you that I love you, Bobby. Bobby, you're the best.

  Robert Kardashian : You know I feel the same, Juice.

  O.J. Simpson : [sighs]  Remember how much fun we used to have? Wow. Remember the night the four of us went to that steakhouse that used to be on La Cienega? I forget the name. You, me, Nicole, Kris - we had some fun times together. I want you to tell everybody that I love 'em. Say good-bye for me. Say good-bye to Don Ohlmeyer, Skip Taft, Wayne Hughes. Louis Marx, Marcus Allen. Cathy and Reggie. If I'm forgetting anybody, please let 'em know.

  Robert Kardashian : You're gonna tell them yourself, Juice, okay? You're gonna see them all again.

  O.J. Simpson : No. I just wanna go home and see my mama one last time.

  [helicopters whirl overhead at Rockingham] 

  Robert Kardashian : Yeah, I'm not sure coming home right now is such a hot idea.

• [in the middle of the slow-speed chase; Al Cowlings is driving the white Ford Bronco while O.J. is in the backseat with a gun to his head] 

  Al Cowlings : [panicked]  All right, what do you want me to do, O.J.?

  O.J. Simpson : [weakly]  I should die.

  Al Cowlings : No! Put the gun down, Juice!

  O.J. Simpson : *I'm tired of you driving me around, A.C.!*

  Al Cowlings : Tell me what you need!

  O.J. Simpson : Take me to the cemetery.

  Al Cowlings : No, man. We did that already.

  O.J. Simpson : [weeping]  I don't know what is happening. Why is this happening to me? I don't understand. I had such a beautiful family. Nicole and Sydney and Justin...

  Al Cowlings : Think about the kids.

  O.J. Simpson : J-just take me home. I want to see Mama.

  Al Cowlings : Brother, we got half the police in California in pursuit! They might not let us.

  O.J. Simpson : I WANT THIS TO END!
