"Yeah, right. I'm going to fuckin' have the fuckin' secret service f*ck me up! Beat down my ass!"

"I just heard a black woman say, 'Obama is sexy as hell!'"

"Fuckin' no! He's fuckin' definitely not!"

"You wouldn't f*ck him?"

"No, he has gray hair, and I don't go with black guys."

"But you're in Camden! There's nothing but black people here."

"I know."

"You should go to Toms River and chill. Get out of this sh*t. Your luck is going to run out."

"My luck is going to run out."

"One of these days, you're gonna be, you know, dead. This city is so fucked up."

"That's right."
