Oma:
I married white next time. All he was good for was running us off an embankment! That, and spending the insurance. Marrying him was the biggest mistake of my life. He had unnatural desires.

Tully:
He did?

Oma:
The white race is in its decline. Started downhill in 1492 when Columbus discovered syphillis.

Tully:
What'd he wanna do?

Oma:
White men are animals.

Tully:
Oh, we're not so bad.

Oma:
White man is the vermin of the Earth!

Tully:
Hey, come on. Not so loud.

Oma:
Don't tell me what to do! I don't care who hears me! I know I'm making a nuisance of myself! All those goddamn Mexicans sitting there, they don't know who their real friends are. To hell with them!

Tully:
What're you going on about?

Oma:
Don't tell me - you take your hands off me!

Tully:
You are liable to get back backhanded right off that stool!

Oma:
You see if I care one bit! That's all I need! You go ahead if it'll make you feel so good!

Tully:
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oma:
Come on, get it out of your system! Go on if it'll make you feel good! Punch me in the face! Take some teeth out while you're at it! I still got a few left in there the others were nice enough to leave me!

Tully:
Oh, God Almighty. Come on, I wouldn't hit you.

Oma:
Oh, come on! It'll be a big lift for you! What're you waiting for? It's just the thing you need! Far be it from me to spoil anybody's fun!

Tully:
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Will you listen to me? Goddamnit! I am sorry!

Oma:
So what? So you're sorry.

Tully:
Well, I feel like I could break my head!

Oma:
Go ahead, I'm not gonna stop you!

Tully:
Feel like I could just bust my head... on that jukebox. [He busts his head off the jukebox]

Oma:
What'd you do that for?

Tully:
You told me to go ahead and do it, so I did it. You can count on me right down the line. You can count on me.

Oma:
Just don't bump your head anymore.
