      • Jeff Ciolla: Where do you think you're goin', niggers?
      • Mauricio: Any place you ain't. Now move out of our way, man.
      • Jeff Ciolla: Are you telling me what to do?
      • Mauricio: [to Helene] C'mon, girl. Move!
      • Shades: Didn't you hear what a white man had to say?
      • Mauricio: There ain't no man around here. Just some simple-minded punks!
      • Shades: Uh-oh. I believe we got some trouble here. This boy don't understand English.
      • Jeff Ciolla: Hey, we know these people don't speak English too good. So how could they understand you?
      • Ox: I think I have an idea of what you do understand. Gimme your money, all your gold jewelry and your rings!
