You know what was in this? Zyklon-B! What the Nazis had! Listen! [shakes can, a slight rattle is heard] Empty! This was used, man! This was actually used! I wonder how many **** this little can took out!

Nick
[after a gay man tips over a sunglass rack on Nick's counter]

**** ****s! Alternate lifestyle my ass! Imagine what those pumpkins do with each other when they're alone! And what about the muff divers? Think about it!

Nick

Who the **** do you think you are, you ****! You **** ****!

Nick

We're the same, you and me. We're the same.

We are not the same. I'm an American, you're a sick asshole.

Nick

Just what kind of vigilante are you?

I am NOT a vigilante. I am just trying to get home to my little girl's birthday party, and if you all just stay out of my way, nobody will get hurt.

Nick

Why don't they call you officer-esses?

I beg your pardon?

Nick

You know, like actress. Something to signify... you know.

I guess they think of a police officer as a police officer, not a... you know.

Nick

Okay then. Sorry I couldn't have been helpful, officer--ESS!

Nick

**** you! Who the **** are you?

I am just disagreeing with you! In America, we have the freedom of SPEECH! The right to DISAGREE!

Nick

**** you and your freedom! Who the **** are you, you ****! You **** ****! You were gonna take my rocket! I oughta shoot you right now, you dippy mother ****er!

Nick

What can I do you for?

I was just looking for some hiking boots.

Nick

Hiking boots? Let's see what we got. These here are the top of the line. Scientifically engineered and all that crap. Guaranteed by some Sierra Club asshole not to hurt a chipmunk IF you step on it! Personally, I think they're for pussies and (turns his head towards the two homosexuals in the store) ****S! Now these are Vietnam jungle boots. Cost you half as much, last you twice as long and are great for stomping (turns his head again) ****! Course when you're done you have to clean out the waffle with a stick, but what the hell, you can't have everything.

Nick

You want freedom? I'll give you **** freedom!

Nick
[takes out some handcuffs]

You're going to jail, ****er. How's that for freedom? Freedom to get **** up the ass by some big buck ****. Give me your other hand! He's gonna be right behind ya, just like this. You're gonna like that, **** ****! Give me your other hand!

I can't.

Nick

Why not?

Gravity.

Nick

Gravity? What the **** does that mean?!

I'll fall down.

Nick
[Nick kicks Bill, making him fall down]

Give me your other hand! Give it to me! Give it to me! GIVE IT TOO ME!

Nick
[Bill turns around and stabs Nick in his shoulder]

This isn't one of mine.

Freedom of religion. Now you get it. Feels good to exercise your rights, doesn't it? (opens fire on Nick, shooting him through a mirror)

Nick

Because I'm with you. Don't you get it? I was listening to the police scanner. I heard about the Whammyburger! **** fantastic! It was a bunch of ****, wasn't it? On TV, it's always nice looking white kids. But when you go in there, it's nothing but a bunch of **** ****. And they'll spit on your food if you're not nice to them. I know all about it. I'm with you. We're the same, you and me. We're the same. Don't you see?

We are not the same. I'm an American. You're a sick asshole.

Nick

Just what kind of vigilante are you?

I am not a vigilante. I am just trying to get home to my daughter's birthday party, and if everyone will just stay out of my way then nobody will get hurt.

Nick

**** you! Who the **** are you? Are you **** with me?

I AM JUST DISAGREEING WITH YOU!!! In America, we have the freedom of speech, the right to disagree!

Nick

**** you and your freedom!
