Becker, Season 1

Dr. John Becker:
Tetzloff, you are a lying, bottom feeding, low-life publicity whore!

Phil Morrison:
Dr. Becker, please. Come in. Sit down. [ushers Becker into a chair]

Dr. John Becker:
What? No, I don't want to talk on the radio -

Phil Morrison:
This'll be fine, seriously. Sit down. [into the radio mike] This is great. We have John Becker here, the racist doctor Mr. Tetzloff wrote about. [to Becker] Go ahead. You're on the air. Talk. Talk into the mike.

Dr. John Becker:
All right. This guy took a private conversation and he turned it into something that it wasn't.

Tetzloff:
Well, then maybe you could tell me what it was. You said to an Asian man, "You people can't drive."

Dr. John Becker:
Yes, yes. You people, as in, you lousy drivers. I didn't care where he came from. All I cared about was where he was going, which was into the side of my car! I never said he was a bad driver because he was Asian.

Tetzloff:
So you do believe Asian Americans are bad drivers?

Dr. John Becker:
I never said that they are bad drivers!

Tetzloff:
"They?"

Dr. John Becker:
Oh, come on! This is stupid!

Tetzloff:
Isn't "they" just a racist code word? Another way of saying "those people?"

Dr. John Becker:
"They" is not a code word. "They" is a pronoun. We can't use pronouns anymore?

Tetzloff:
And by "we," you mean white Americans just like you?

Dr. John Becker:
Oh, come on. White Americans. Do you believe this?

Phil Morrison:
I love this! This is like a real show!
