Pino, all you ever talk about is nigger this and nigger that and all your favorite people are so-called niggers.
It’s different. Magic, Eddie, Prince are not niggers. I mean, they're nit Black, I mean… Let me explain myself. They're not really Black. I mean, They're Black, but they're not really Black. They're more than Black. It's different.
It's different?
Yeah. To me, it's different.
Pino, deep down inside, I think you wish you were Black.
Get the fuck outta here.
Laugh if you want to. You know, your hair is kinkier than mine. What does that mean? And you know what they day about dark Italians.
You know,I've been listening and reading…
You been reading now?
I read. I've been reading about your leaders. Reverend Al "Mister Do" Sharpton, Jesse "Keep Hope Alive."
That's fucked up.
"Keep Hope Alive."
Hey that's fucked. Don't talk about Jesse.
And the other guy, what's his name? Faraman, Fairakan…
Minister Farrakhan.
Right. Sorry, Minister Farrakhan. Anyway, Minister Farrakhan always talks about the so-called day when the Black man will rise, "We will one day…" What does he say? "We will one day rule the earth as we did in our glorious past?"
That's right.
What past are you talking about? I mean, what did I miss?
We started civilization.
Keep dreaming, man. Then you woke up!
Pino, fuck you, fuck your fucking pizza and fuck Frank Sinatra.
Yeah? Well, fuck you, too, and fuck Michael Jackson."

One hand is always fighting the other hand, and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand, love, is finished. But hold on, stop the presses the right hands coming back. Yeah. He got the left hand on the ropes now. That's right. Yeah. Boom! It's a devastating, right, and hate is hurt. He's down! Left hand, hate, KO'd by love."
