Quotes

  Mahandra McGinty : They verify my claim, and then I'm embraced by my people as a part of the Satsuma Indian Nation.

  Jaye Tyler : That's awesome.

  Sharon Tyler : It's also fraud. You're not Indian. You're Black.

  Jaye Tyler : And a cut of the gambling money.

  Mahandra McGinty : Uh, uh, uh, uh, no. This is not about money. This is about tribe pride. However, if a Title IV federal grant will pay off my student loans, then justice is served.

• Mahandra McGinty : You know, this sudden impulse of yours to visit my ancestral lands is great, but aren't you supposed to be at work?

  Jaye Tyler : I couldn't stand the thought of spending another day looking at those faces with their stupid little mouths constantly running and making all sorts of unreasonable demands on me.

  Mahandra McGinty : Are you sure you should be in a customer service industry?
