Murray

I don't have a personal problem with him! (Danny)

Bob Sweeney

Don't insult my intelligence, Murray! You hate this child, and I think I know why!

Murray
(closes the door)

So I went out with his mother a few times. That was three years ago...it was nothing.

Bob Sweeney

Nothing. Really?

Murray

That paper, Bob--it's a travesty. Arguing for Hitler as a civil rights hero? You've got to draw the line.

Bob Sweeney

You know, Murray, you actually brought this upon yourself. You said the paper could be on any book that related to the struggle for human rights...in plain English. I am not disputing that the child is confused, and harbors some sick ideas, but I am not ready to give up on him yet.

Murray

His brother probably put him up to it.

Bob Sweeney

I guarantee you 100% his brother did not put him up to this.

Murray

Whatever...I find that hard to believe.

Murray

What are you doing Derek? This is your family.

Derek Vinyard

Right, my family, my family, so you know what? I don't give two shits about you or anybody else or what they think. You're not a part of it and you never will be.

Murray

That has nothing to do with it!

Derek Vinyard

Oh it doesn't? You don't think I see what you're trying to do here? You think I'm gonna sit here and smile while some **** **** tries to **** my mother? It's never gonna happen Murray, **** forget it, not on my watch, not while I'm still in this family. I will **** cut your Shylock nose off and stick it up your ass before I let that happen. Coming here and poison my family's dinner with your Jewish, ****-loving, hippie bullshit. **** you! **** you! Yeah, walk out, asshole, **** Cabala reading mother****er. Get the **** out of my house.[flashes swastica tattoo] see this, this means not welcome.
