Peter: We didn't get any coffee that you didn't want and I didn't order, and this is evidence of racial discrimination? Did you happen to notice our waitress was black? Anthony: And black women don't think in stereotypes? When's the last time you met one who didn't think she knew everything about your lazy ass before you even opened your mouth? That waitress sized us up in two seconds. We're black, and black people don't tip, so she wasn't gonna waste her time! Someone like that, there's nothing you can do to change their mind. Peter: So, uh, how much did you leave her? Anthony: You expect me to pay for that kind of service? [Peter laughs] What? What the fuck is you laughing at, man?

Rick: [After his car is stolen] Why did these guys have to be black? No matter how we spin this thing, I'm either gonna lose the black vote or I'm gonna lose the law and order vote! Karen: You know, I think you're worrying too much. You have a lot of support in the black community. Rick: All right. If we can't duck this thing, we're gonna have to neutralize it. What we need is a picture of me pinning a medal on a black man. The firefighter - the one that saved the camp or something - Northridge... what's his name? Bruce: He's Iraqi. Rick: He's Iraqi? Well, he looks black. Bruce: He's dark-skinned, sir, but he's Iraqi. His name's Saddam Khahum. Rick: Saddam? His name's Saddam? That's real good, Bruce. I'm going to pin a medal on an Iraqi named Saddam. Give yourself a raise!

Anthony: You wanna listen to music of the oppressor, you go right ahead. Peter: How in the lunacy of your mind is hip-hop music of the oppressor. Anthony: Listen to it, man. Nigger this, nigger that! You think people go around calling each other honkies all day? "Hey, honkie! How's business?" "Going great, cracker! We're diversifying!" Peter: [changes the station] How about this, huh? How about that? You like that? Man's singing about lynching niggers! Anthony: And you think there's a difference, don't you? Peter: [singing] "Gonna buy me a rope, and lynch me a nigger!" Anthony: You've got absolutely no idea where hip-hop comes from, do you? Peter: [singing] "I shoot 'em dead first, but I done broke my trigger!" Anthony: You see, back in the '60s, we had smart black articulate black men. Like Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, Fred Hampton. These brothers were speaking out, and people were listening. And then, the FBI said, "Oh, no! We can't have that! I know! Let's give the ni

Daniel: Excuse me? Excuse me, sir? Farhad: You finish? Daniel: I replaced the lock. But you got a real problem with that door. Farhad: You fix the lock? Daniel: Nah, I replaced the lock. But you gotta fix that door. Farhad: Just fix the lock. Daniel: Sir, sir, sir, listen to me. What you need, is a new door. Farhad: I need new door? Daniel: Yeah. Farhad: Okay. How much?

Lucien: You run over a Chinaman, stuff him in the back, then bring the truck here so I can share in the experience? Anthony: Come on, man. It's a little bit of blood. It'll wash right off. Lucien: Georgie, burn this thing. Anthony: Burn it? It's a brand new Navigator. All you need is a little piece of carpet. Lucien: You watch The Discovery Channel? Anthony: Not a lot. Peter: They got some good shit on that channel. Lucien: Every night, there is a show with somebody shining a little blue light and finding tiny specks of blood splattered on carpets and walls and ceiling fans, bathroom fixtures, and special-edition plastic Burger King tray cups. And the next thing they show is some stupid redneck in handcuffs who looks absolutely stunned that this is happening to him. Sometimes the redneck is actually watching The Discovery Channel when they break in to arrest him, and he still can't figure out how on earth they could've caught him! Do I look like I want to be on The Discovery Channel? A
