• Ron Stallworth : [answering a phone call from Duke]  Mr. Duke, I'm so sorry we didn't get to spend more one-on-one time together.

  David Duke : Well, that was a just a tragedy. I had just met those heroic brothers in the cause.

  Flip Zimmerman : Heroic.

  Ron Stallworth : Yeah. And the chapter is just shaken at the core.

  David Duke : Oh.

  Ron Stallworth : Yeah. And poor Connie, right? I mean, not only does she lose her husband, but...

  Flip Zimmerman : Poor Connie.

  Jimmy Creek : Connie's going away.

  Flip Zimmerman : We feel bad for Connie.

  Ron Stallworth : [continuing]  ... she's looking at serious prison time.

  David Duke : My God. And then there was that Nigger detective. Basically...

  [the officers laugh] 

  Ron Stallworth : [to the other officers]  Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut up, shut up.

  Ron Stallworth : Those goddamn coloreds they sure know how to spoil a celebration.

  Jimmy Creek : [to Flip]  Hey, you're getting me in trouble.

  David Duke : [to Ron]  Christ, you can say that again.

  Ron Stallworth : Those goddamn coloreds sure know how to spoil a celebration. Can I ask you a question, sir?

  David Duke : Shoot.

  Ron Stallworth : That Nigger detective, did you ever did you ever get his name?

  David Duke : No. I don't think I...

  Ron Stallworth : Are-uh you sure you don't know who he is? Are-uh you absolutely sure? 'Cause that Nigga, coon, gator bait, spade, spook, Sambo, spear-chucking jungle bunny, Mississippi wind chime...

  David Duke : Wind chime?

  Ron Stallworth : [continuing]  ... detective is Ron Stallworth, you racist, peckerwood, redneck, inch worm, needle-dick motherfucker!

  [Ron hangs up, leaving Duke bewildered] 

• Flip Zimmerman : I'm Jewish, but I wasn't raised to be. It wasn't part of my life, I never thought much about being Jewish, nobody around me was Jewish. I wasn't going to a bunch of Bar Mitzvahs, I didn't have a Bar Mitzvah. I was just another white kid. And now I'm in some basement denying it out loud. *chuckles* I never thought much about it, now I'm thinking about it all the time. About rituals and heritage. Is that passing? Well then I have been passing.

• Ron Stallworth : [asking Flip to help take a photo of him with David and another Klansman]  Can you take this picture of us, please?

  Flip Zimmerman : All right, don't touch me.

  Ron Stallworth : Great. All right, all right, thank you so much. Thank you. Here we go. One, two, three!

  [just before Flip takes the picture, Ron puts his arms around Duke and the other Klansman] 

  David Duke : Jesus H. Christ! What did you just do, boy? I mean, what the hell did you just do?

  Ron Stallworth : Sir, if you lay a finger on me, I'll arrest your ass for assaulting a police officer. That's worth about five years in prison. Try me. See if I'm playing.

  David Duke : Why don't you come down to Louisiana sometime? See how we play.

  Flip Zimmerman : Boy, you better get your Nigger ass out of here now.

  Ron Stallworth : Mm-hmm, America first.

• Flip Zimmerman : For you it's a crusade. For me it's a job.

  Ron Stallworth : You're Jewish. They hate you. Doesn't that piss you off? Why are you acting like you don't got skin in the game?

• Ron Stallworth : Any chance this thing fucks up?

  Flip Zimmerman : Oh, fuck yeah.

  Ron Stallworth : Then what?

  Jimmy Creek : Just stick to the game plan.

  Ron Stallworth : Which is?

  Flip Zimmerman : Improvise. Like jazz.

  Jimmy Creek : Like be-bop!

• Ron Stallworth , Flip Zimmerman , Jimmy Creek : Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud! Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud!

• Flip Zimmerman : [comes up on the cops arresting Ron]  Hey! Hey! Stand down!

  CSPD Officer Brickhouse : Who the fuck are you?

  Flip Zimmerman : Undercover cop, fucking idiot!

  [tosses badge at him] 

  CSPD Officer Brickhouse : [in disbelief]  This black guy's a cop?

  Flip Zimmerman : Gimme your keys!

• Ron Stallworth : Why haven't you bought into this?

  Flip Zimmerman : Why should I?

  Ron Stallworth : Because you're Jewish, Brother. The so-called Chosen People. You've been passing for a WASP. White Anglo Saxon Protestant. Cherry pie, hot dog, white boy. It's what some light-skinned black folks do, they pass for white.

• Flip Zimmerman : [to Felix]  What is this, your Jew den? Is this where you make candles and lamp shades?

• Flip Zimmerman : All power to all the people.

• Flip Zimmerman : What do we listen to?

  Ron Stallworth : KWYD. Christian Talk in The Morning, although the signal starts to cut out near Pueblo. On the way back, I like to turn it to 102.7 to get my Allman Brothers fix. Only, I have to change it every time that British fag David Bowie pipes on.

  Jimmy Creek : Oh-oh-oh, I love Bowie.

  Ron Stallworth : Who doesn't, right? Remember you have to retain the information you share with these guys so I can be white Ron Stallworth.

• Flip Zimmerman : Are you trying to offend me?

  Felix Kendrickson : Protocol.

• Chief Bridges : All good things must come to an end.

  Ron Stallworth : What does that mean?

  Chief Bridges : Budget cuts.

  Flip Zimmerman : Budget cuts?

  Jimmy Creek : And when did this happen? Last night?

  Chief Bridges : I wish I had a choice; but, my hands are tied with this inflation. Besides, there no longer appears to be any credible threats.
