Alex:
How much currency would a first-rate accountant receive in America?

Jonathan:
I don't know, a lot, probably, if he or she is good.

Alex:
She?

Jonathan:
Or he.

Alex:
Are there Negro accountants?

Jonathan:
Yes, there are African American accountants, but you don't want to use that word.

Alex:
And homosexual accountants?

Jonathan:
There are homosexual everythings. There are homosexual garbage men.

Alex:
[shocked] And how much currency would a Negro homosexual accountant receive?

Jonathan:
You really shouldn't use that word.

Alex:
Which word?

Jonathan:
The N-word. It's not the N-word, but...

Alex:
Negro?

Jonathan:
Yeah, that one.

Alex:
But I dig them all the way. They are premium people.
