(speaking on the telephone after leaving a message about this years' Christmas card) "This is Bobby, Happy New Years. Listen I've had about five cold ones and, uh, I'm just going to go ahead and ask -- did you all know there's a colored boy on your Christmas card?"
- Bobby,
The Blind Side
(trying to talk the school board into admitting Michael Oher) "Forget sports. Look at the wall. Christian, we either take that seriously or we paint over it. We don't admit Michael Oher because of sports, we admit him because it's the right thing to do."
- Coach Cotton,
The Blind Side
(seeing Big Mike walking down the road on a rainy night) "Big Mike, hey, my name is Leigh Anne Tuohy and my kids go to Windgate. You said you were going to the gym -- the school gym is closed. Why were you going to the gym? (Michael: "Cause it's warm.") Do you have any place to stay tonight? Don't your dare lie to me. Come on, come on. (Michael: "Where are we going?") Home!"
- Leigh Anne Tuohy,

- Leigh Anne Tuohy,
The Blind Side
(Looking for Michael she confronts a gang leader to tells her, "Hear me, bitch?") "No, you hear me bitch! You threaten my son, you threaten me. You so much as cross into downtown you will be sorry. I'm in a prayer group with the D.A., I'm a member of the NRA and I'm always packing."
- Leigh Anne Tuohy,

(dropping Michael of at Ole Miss) "Michael Oher listen to me, all right? I want you to enjoy yourself but if you get a girl pregnant out of wedlock I will crawl in the car, drive up here to Oxford and I will cut off your penis."
