In any real city, you walk, you brush past people, and people bump into you. In L.A, nobody touches you. We’re always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other just so we can feel something.thank for the berienrs of bad news

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!

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?
Daniel: I don't-- Sir, you're gonna have to call somebody that sells doors.
Farhad: You try to cheat me, right? You have a friend that fix door?
Daniel: Nah, I don't have a friend that fix doors, bro.
Farhad: Then go and fix the fucking lock, you cheater!
Daniel: You know what? Why don't you just pay me for the lock, and I won't charge you for the time?
Farhad: You not fix the lock! I pay! What, you think I'm stupid? You fix the fucking lock, you cheater!
Daniel: Hey, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop calling me names.
Farhad: Then fix the fucking lock!
Daniel: I
replaced the lock! You gotta fix the fucking door!
Farhad: You cheat! You fucking cheater!
Daniel:
[crumples up the charge receipt] Fine. Don't pay.
Farhad: What?
Daniel: Have a good night.
[leaves]
Farhad: What? No! Wait! You come back here! You fix the lock! Come here, you fix my lock! Fix the fucking lock!

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?
Anthony: No.
Lucien: Then get the fuck out of my shop.

Cameron: You know, sooner or later, you are gonna have to find out what it is really like to be black.
Christine: Fuck you man, like you know! The closest you ever came to being black, Cameron, was watching the Cosby Show.
Cameron: Yeah? Well at least I wasn't watching it with the rest of the equestrian team.
Christine: You know what, Cameron? You're right. I've got a lot to learn 'cause I haven't quite figured out how to shuck and jive yet. Lemme hear it again? "Sorry Mr. Poh-lice Man, you sure is mighty fine to us poor black folk. You sure to let me know next time you wanna finger fuck my wife!"
Cameron: How the fuck do you say something like that to me? You know what? Fuck you.
Christine: That's right, a little anger! It's a little late, but it's nice to see!
