Hank
[Earl is trying to reach for the keys in his car and Hank approaches]

Need some help?

Earl

Are you asking me if I need some help or am I stealing this car?

Hank

Are you stealing this car?

Earl

Does it look like I'm stealing this damn car?

Hank

A little bit.

Earl

Why, 'cause I'm black? If you saw a white guy doing this you'd give him a Good Samaritan reward. Figure he's going around turning off people's lights.

Hank

All right, license and registration please.

Earl

I ain't showin' you a damn thing! This is my car and I didn't do anything wrong. You owe me an apologyǃ

Hank

What did you call me?

Earl

You ain't listening babyǃ We ain't got nothing to talk aboutǃ Unless it starts with you saying "I'm sorryǃ"

Hank

You're on dangerous grounds here, bub, I'd be careful what comes out of your mouth next!

Earl
[gets off vehicle and gets up to Hank]

Oh, you want to hear what comes out of my mouth next? You're... a... ****... pig!

Hank

You're under arrest.

Earl

Oh no. I ain't under arrestǃ You areǃ

Hank

I'm arresting your assǃ

Earl

Citizen's arrestǃ You're under arrest for illegal false arrestǃ Now get your hands up on the carǃ Give me those cuffsǃ

Hank

Back off! I'm warning youǃ

Earl

You’re warning me?ǃ You have the right to shut up.

Hank

That's it, get up against the carǃ

Earl

Don't make me add "resisting arrest" to the charges.

Hank

Now! Up against the car! [slams Earl against vehicle with baton]

Earl

Watch my car I just had it detailedǃ

Hank

Settle down! Understand?ǃ

Earl

This is police brutality! You ain't doing nothing but compounding your problemsǃ

Hank

Do you actually believe the crap that comes out of your mouth?

Earl

I'm not really sure until I'm finished talkin'.

Hank

This is a beer keg. It doesn't make any sense.

Earl

It makes sense when you put together the pieces.

Hank

What pieces?

Earl

It's obvious. The CIA, they're smuggling alcohol into the inner city in an effort to further subjugate the black man.

Hank
[Annoyed at Earl]

You got something in your teeth.

Earl
[Opens mouth]

Where, here or here? [Hank punches Earl in the mouth]

Hank
[Flashing police badge]

Get out of the damn car!

Woman motorist
[Slapping Hank]

Didn't your mama teach you any manners? The least you could do is ask me nice!

Hank

Do you know how to hot wire a car?

Earl

what, you think because i'm black I can hot wire a car

Hank

Well can you?

Earl

Yeah! but not because I'm Black
