Malik : As a black man in America, my stress comes from everywhere. Recognize. Take a look around you. Look at this, Columbus, it disgusts me. Fool wasn't nothin' but a thief, mass murder. He done slaughtered millions of native Americans, and we done got a holiday and university named after his honor.

Malik Williams : Remy is it? Man, I gotta admit you've been really polite by staying out of my way. But you ain't been honest. See I figure, it's not what a person says it's what they think. So in my mind, you've been walking around here calling me a nigger in you head. Am I right?
Remy : I got nothing to say to you man.
[Remy tries to close the door, Malik forces it open]
Malik Williams : Oh, I think you do! You want to say what you feel don't you? You think I'm a nigger? You be a man and call me one to my face!

Malik Williams : I thought so. You're just a punk-ass white boy... with a fucked-up haircut. Bitch.
