Jeremy Goodwin : How can it be raining at Indian Wells?
Isaac : Maybe it's the rainy season.

Isaac : I'm not firing you.

Jeremy Goodwin : I'm a racist.
Isaac : Really?
Jeremy Goodwin : Yeah! I'm a terrible racist. But I've been in the closet all these years and I've decided I need to live an honest life. And I think all those people with the different skin colors and the funny accents should go back where they came from and leave America to the white people who killed the Indians in the first place, which they deserved.
Isaac : Jeremy...
Jeremy Goodwin : The whole country's being taken over by the blacks and the Jews.
Isaac : You're Jewish!
Jeremy Goodwin : Well, I've gotta be stopped, Isaac!

Jeremy Goodwin : If not now, when? If not me, then who?
Casey McCall : Later, and somebody else?
