A scene from The Dictator 2012
Nadal
[Nadal notices Aladeen walking funny as they approach the helicopter]

Are you okay?

General Aladeen

My guy has a limp. I fell off me horse at the old Bull & Bush Pub because I'm a cockney.

Nadal

Listen, listen, okay? You need to focus up right now and be prepared to deliver a small, subtle performance.

General Aladeen

Okay, great, okay.

Nadal

Okay, good.

General Aladeen
[Pulling eyelids backwards]

Okay, so when we go to fly...

Nadal
[Slaps Aladeen's hands off]

Don't do that with your eyes! You can't be a Chinese person on this thing, okay?

General Aladeen

I'm not Chink, I'm Chinese-American!

Nadal

No, but you cannot hold your eyes! Nobody is going to think you're Chinese-American because you hold your eyes like that! It's racist, what you're doing!

General Aladeen

Do you know it's a fact that they cannot pronounce their R's? They pronounce them as L's. So instead you know what 'rabbit' is in Chinese?

Nadal

I don't know how to speak Chinese.

General Aladeen

It's 'labbit'.

Nadal

It's not 'labbit'!

General Aladeen

Yes! 'Who Shot Loger Labbit' was a huge hit in China!

Nadal

Nobody... It's stup... All right, I don't care! This is stupid, okay?

General Aladeen

Okay, I'll do Filipino. I like to work, I like to talk.

General Aladeen
[pulling eyelids backwards]

I like the shit, I do the kids.

Nadal
[Pulling Aladeen's hands off]

Stop that! Your Filipino is the same as your Chinese!

General Aladeen

Now who's being a lacist? You're being lacist now!

Nadal

I'm not being racist! Right now, we have to get on this helicopter and we have to act like true Americans.

General Aladeen

I guess you don't want me to play black, then.

Nadal

Of course, I don't want you to play black.

General Aladeen

Okay, just throwing it out there.

Nadal

Okay. Don't.
