Abernathy : I was wondering if my friends and I could take the car out on our own just to see if we feel comfortable in it.
Jasper : Why would I do something stupid like that?
Abernathy : To better sell your automobile.
Jasper : How do I know you're not just gonna steal it?
Abernathy : Four reasons. One: we are not thieves. Two: that would be rude. Three: we are staying at the Day's Inn in town, you can check with them, we are registered for the next month. Well, Zoe's not, but Kim and I are so we are totally track-downable.
Jasper : Who's Kim? The colored girl?
Abernathy : Yes, Kim would be the girl of color. And four, and most importantly, that will give you a chance to get to know our other friend, Lee.
[points out Lee]
Jasper : She looks kinda familiar
Abernathy : That is because she is a famous movie star. We are making a Hollywood movie here in town
Jasper : Why's she dressed like that?
Abernathy : Because it's a cheerleader movie and she's one of the cheerleaders.
Jasper : What's a cheerleader movie?
Abernathy : A movie about cheerleaders.
Jasper : Is it a porno?
Abernathy : [looks at Jasper] *Yes*! But don't mention it. She's shy.

Lee : You carry a gun?
Kim : Uh-Huh.
Lee : Do you have a license to carry it?
Kim : Yeah, when I became a secret service agent, they gave me a license.
Lee : Oh, I didn't know you were... Ok. I didn't say it. Stop looking at me. I didn't say it. God! Did you know Kim carried a gun?
Abernathy : Yes. Yeah. Do I approve? No. Do I know? Yes.
Kim : I don't know what futuristic utopia you live in, but in the world I live in, a bitch need a gun.
Abernathy : You can't get around the fact that people who carry guns, tend to get shot more than people who don't.
Kim : And you can't get around the fact that if I go down to the laundry room in my building at midnight enough times, I might get my ass raped!
Lee : Don't do your laundry at midnight.
Kim : Fuck that! I wanna do my laundry whenever the fuck I want to do my laundry.
Abernathy : There are other things you can carry other then a gun. Pepper spray.
Kim : Uh, muthafucka tryin to rape me, I don't want to give him a skin rash. I wanna shot that nigga down!
Abernathy : How about a knife at least.
Kim : Yeah, you know what happens to muthafuckas who carry knives. They get shot! Look, if I ever become a famous actress, I won't carry a gun. I'll hire me a dude dirt nigga and he'll carry the gun, and when shit goes down, I'll sit back and laugh, but until that day, it's wild west muthafucka!
