• [Agent Monk has kidnapped the mayor] 

  Agent Monk : You. I'm gonna tell you a story. A kid named Homer Wilkes lives 30 miles north of here. He'd just taken his girlfriend home and was walking along the road. A truck pulls up beside him. Four white boys took him for a ride. Now Homer, he headn't done anything, except be a Negro. They took him to a shack, a regular old shack like this one. Then they took out a razor blade.

  [shows him a razor blade] 

  Agent Monk : Ragged old razor blade, like this one. They pulled down his pants, they spread his legs, and they sliced off his scrotum.

  [shows him a coffee cup] 

  Agent Monk : Then they put it in a coffee cup, like this one. Mayor, do you know how much you bleed when someone cuts off your balls?

  [throws the cup at him] 

  Agent Monk : HUH! When they found Homer, he looked like he head been dipped in blood up to his waist. He was barely alive when they got him to the hospital, and he can barely walk now.
