- Ike Turner, Sr.: You thought you was gonna get away from me. You thought a nigga like me was gonna let you get away from me. You can't get away from me. I'm in here. Now you act like you don't even know me.
- Tina Turner: Yeah I know you, Ike. I know you real well.
- Ike Turner, Sr.: All right then. You know me so well...
- Ike Turner, Sr.: [places a gun on her table] Tell me what I'm gonna do now. Tell me, I can't hear you. You ain't got all that mouth now, huh? Talk to me Anna. Talk to me, I can't hear you.
- Tina Turner: Is that supposed to scare me, huh?
- [Ike is caught off guard]
- Tina Turner: Oh yeah. What you gonna do? I don't know, Ike. Do what you wanna do, I don't care. Let me tell you what I'm gonna do. I got a room full of people coming to see me, Ike, you hear? Coming to see me. So what are you going to do, huh? Shoot me? Pistol whip me?
