Joe Dixon [In a stand-off with Bishop's soldiers]
Now, I'm gonna tell you right now, I like Black people, but I ain't gonna let you all shoot these white folks. These are our white people.

What the hell's going on?
Joe Dixon The damn insurance company. They just raised the premium on my Purge coverage. By thousands. The day before the damn Purge. If I don't pay it by tomorrow, I have no Purge coverage for this store.
They can't do that.
Joe Dixon Yeah, well, they just did it.
Laney Rucker: Just lock the place down, Joe.
Joe Dixon Yeah, but that's not enough. If I have no insurance, I am screwed. I'll just have to protect this place myself.
Are you crazy?
That's not a good idea, boss.
Look, we love this place, too, Joe. I've been coming here since I was born. But it's just stuff. It can be replaced. You can't be.
Joe Dixon Yeah, but what about what you do on Purge Night, Laney? Huh? Is that not the pot calling the kettle brown? No?
That's different, Joe, and you know that. I'm protected, and you won't be.
Joe Dixon This is all I got, guys. This is my slice of the pie. Man, I cannot, I can't lose this place. I just... I can't lose this place.
Joe Dixon [Catching two shoplifters]
All right, girls, give it up. I won't have to call the police.
Kimmy
Get outta my face, old man!
Joe Dixon Let's not do this the hard way, okay? I'm giving you an out. All right, give up the candy or I'll have to take it away from you.
Kimmy
You touch me and I scream rape, you cocksucking pig. Now walk away.
Give it back.
Kimmy
Who are you, bitch? Better get out of my way!
Schoolgirl #2
[Holding her back]
That's Laney Rucker, Kimmy.
Kimmy
Laney Rucker? Holy shit. OG Queen badass? Yo! They called you Pequeña Muerte. Little Death. Yo, you're my mother**** hero.
That makes me proud. Now give back whatever you stole. And apologize.
Kimmy
[Obliging, somewhat reluctantly]
Oh, my God. Sorry, mister. I was just playin'. So, Ms. Rucker, what happened to you? You look all whitish now. Later, Ms. Rucker. Wish I met you back in the day.
Reporter #1
As she's done many times before, Senator Roan broke security protocol, walking off the stage, stepping into the audience.
Joe Dixon [watching on TV]
Tell you this much, she got 'em little titties, but she got some big-ass balls. She ain't got a snowball's chance in a steam bath of winning this thing, but she be taking on them ol' white-haired George Washington wannabe mofos all by herself. And to that, I say bully for her.
Oh, horseshit. She's full of it, too. Nothing'll ever change.
Joe Dixon Hey, Laney. Laney, Laney? I think we've offended Marcos with our anti-Senator talk.
The Senator's going to win. She's gonna make real changes, too. You'll see. All she needs is Florida. She gets the 29 electoral votes from Florida, that puts her over 270. She can do it.
Joe Dixon Smartass. All that useless shit and can't butter a damn bagel correctly.
I could butter your bagel, boss.
Joe Dixon Oh, you'd butter my bagel? Well, you got jokes over there. Yeah, you just be careful, kid, with all that hope, 'cause it can be a bad thing. Hope can lead to a lot of letdown. Tell him, Irish I.
Irish Ike Jenkins
Excuse me, what? I'm not paying attention. I'm thinking about waffles and pussy. That's all I ever really think about, actually.
Joe Dixon Irish I, ladies and gentlemen.
Irish Ike Jenkins
The **** you laughing at? I'm dead serious.
Joe Dixon [With a laughing sigh]
Ah, ****!
Joe Dixon That's, uh, that's Marcos right there. Marcos is, uh... he's a fan of yours.
Hi, Marcos.
Hey, Senator.
Joe Dixon He actually thinks you can win this thing.
Oh, yeah?
Joe Dixon [laughing]
Shit! Uh, tell her what-what she need to do to win, Marcos.
Oh, no, it's not my place to say.
Well, you saved my life, Marcos. I'd like to hear it, please.
Florida is the key. You have to get the elders.
That's smart. He's not wrong, Joe. What do you think?
Joe Dixon Well, I don't think you got a damn chance.
Well, have a little faith.
Joe Dixon Well, I lost my faith in the system a long time ago, Senator.
Joe Dixon "Maybe we stay here"? Where you going? You going back out there?
Joe, do you have a first aid kit? Leo, my security, was shot.
I'm fine.
You're not fine.
I'm fine.
You're not. Sit. You want me to take it off?
Yeah? Doesn't look like nothing.
I know a little bit about first aid. I could help you. [Checks wound] The bullet's deep. You need stitches.
Yeah.
But we can't do that here.
Right. Clean it up. Patch it up. Come on. Move.
What's your name, pal?
Joe Dixon You know what, Mr. Secret Service Man? You should be thanking my black ass for helping you instead of interrogating me.
His name is Joe Dixon.
Joe Dixon, have I offended you?
Joe Dixon Yeah. Yeah, man, just a little bit.
Your feelings are not a concern of mine.
Joe Dixon Little respect. That's all I need.
Schoolgirl #1 Freakbride
[Pulling up with her friends again]
You stupid mother****er! You should have let us take the candy bar! Now you're ****in' gonna pay for it, you stupid son of a bitch! Whoo! It's a good night to Purge, isn't it?
Joe Dixon Oh, hell!
Who the hell is that?
The looters I was telling you about.
Purge Night, Senator. What did you expect?
Hey, guys! I got your message.
Laney!
Joe Dixon This is our girl.
Leo Barnes: Go, go, go!
Where do we go?
Joe Dixon The van!
Go.
Come on, Joe.
Joe Dixon I'll be with you in a minute. I'll be there.
Joe, come on.
Joe Dixon You get out of here, kid. I'm staying.
They'll kill you.
Joe Dixon Go now!
If you stay, I stay.
Joe Dixon Just leave.
Joe, listen to me. For some reason, the Senator ended up in our neighborhood, in your deli. Maybe it's our duty to help protect her. We'll rebuild the deli. Whatever it takes, you and me. I promise.
