Ernie Sabella: Campus Security

Quotes 

• Campus Security : Well, might as well get comfortable, cause nobody's going anywhere until we get to the how and the why this happened.

  Dwayne Wayne : The answer is on his car.

  J.C. : All that was written on the car was "NI." Maybe whoever sprayed it was spelling "nice." As in, "Have a nice day?"

  [Eddie snickers] 

  Dwayne Wayne : You know I'm about ready to slap that stupid smile off your face, man?

  J.C. : See, there it is again, the violence.

  Dwayne Wayne : You think you can get over on anybody, right? Anywhere? No, not me, and not today!

  J.C. : Who are you?

  Eddie : That's just it. He's nobody.

  Dwayne Wayne : No, I am an educated Black man, your worst nightmare, punk!

• Rick : What's the wolf in for?

  Campus Security : Going through the crowd, picking pockets.

  A&M Wolf : Is this the face of a pickpocket?

  Campus Security : Take that head off!

  A&M Wolf : I can't. It's attached. Besides, I'm naked underneath.

  Campus Security : I love my job.

• Ron Johnson : Hey, man, I don't want your apology! I want their arms broke, or something! I want them punished, man! And I want my car fixed, now!

  Campus Security : You don't see your part in all this, do you?

  Ron Johnson : [incredulous]  I'm the victim!

  Campus Security : More brothers on the team?

  Ron Johnson : Well, that's just the truth.

  Campus Security : Oh, so you're comfortable with the stereotype that all Black people can do is run.

  Dwayne Wayne : Hey, hey, look, we don't expect a fair shake from you, Officer.

  Campus Security : That's right. I'm a White man.

  Dwayne Wayne : That's right!

  Campus Security : I could be a card-carrying member of the Klan

  Dwayne Wayne : Never know!

  Campus Security : Or I could have marched with Dr. King. You *don't* know. Maybe you should look at me as an individual and not as a color.

• Campus Security : See you next Saturday!

  Ron Johnson : What? For what?

  Campus Security : For more. Oh, for much more, so that things can change.

  Eddie : Hey, I'm not spending my Saturdays singing We Are The World.

  Campus Security : Oh, you think you have a choice? Unless maybe your hard-working family would like to hear you've been kicked outta school. Oh, and, uh, bring a snack. I like donuts.

• Eddie : Me, J.C., and Rick met at the coffee shop like we always do on game day. I had scrambled eggs with a side of bacon.

  Campus Security : Oh, with or without ketchup? Tell the damn story!

• Campus Security : You get your car fixed, you give me the bill, I'll see that they reimburse you! Go on!

  Campus Security : And, since your so good with paint, I'm going to talk to the folks over at Hillman and see if they've got some buildings that need a fresh coat! Come on. Go.

  Rick : Negro physician from the South? I have to remember that one!

• Campus Security : You get your car fixed, you give me the bill, I'll see that they reimburse you! Go on!

  Campus Security : And, since your so good with paint, I'm going to call the folks at Hillman and see if they've got some buildings that need a fresh coat! Come on. Go.

  Rick : Negro physician from the South? I have to remember that one!

• Campus Security : Why did you do it, son?

  Eddie : He was in my face!

  Campus Security : Oh, now there's a reason!

  Eddie : No, it's because of how they are!

  Campus Security : How are they?

  Eddie : You know!

  Campus Security : No, I don't. Tell me.

  Eddie : They have no respect. They don't care about this country at all. All they do is sit on their butt and complain!

  J.C. : And what do they have to complain about? It's because of them and their quotas I'm not in the Ivy league where I belong!

  Ron Johnson : You all had quotas for centuries! You call them legacies, restricted country clubs, the Law!

• Campus Security : You get your car fixed, you give me the bill, I'll see that they reimburse you! Go on!

  Campus Security : And, since your so good with paint, I'm going to call the folks at Hillman and see if they've got some buildings that need a fresh coat! Come on. Go.

  J.C. : Negro physician from the South? I have to remember that one!
