Am I My Brother's Keeper?

It's a memorable quote in the bible found in Genesis 4:9, meaning:

1. Are you responsible for how you respond to your brother?

2. Are you held accountable for how you treat your fellow man?

It's really a sarcastic question/remark from Cain to God after Cain killed his brother, Abel, to keep from admitting to the fact that he did kill Abel.
Nino Brown: To CMB. On and on. Am I my brother's keeper?

CMB: Yes I am.

Nino Brown (louder): Am I my brother's keeper?!

CMB (louder): Yes I am.!

Nino Brown (louder): Am I...my brother's keeper?!!!

CMB (louder): Yes...I...am.!!!

The Duh Duh Man (studdering): Yes.......I am.!!!

-from NEW JACK CITY (1991)

(Nino walks closer to Gee, then reaches in Gee's coat to find and take his glass dick/crack pipe to confront him)

Was it this......glass......dick...you've been sucking on, huh? Huh? Was that it? Now I see how you let that motherfucker infiltrate. He used you, Gee.
