Quotes

From Kevin Smith's
Chasing Amy
Collector: So, what do you, like, draw this or something?
Banky: I ink it and I'm also the colorist. The guy next to me draws it. But we both came up with the characters. Next.
Collector: What's that mean--you "ink it?"
Banky: Well, it means that Holden draws the pictures in pencil, and then he gives it to me to go over in ink. Next.
Collector: So basically, you just trace.
Banky: It's not tracing, all right. I add depth and shading to give the image more definition. Only then does the drawing truly take shape.
Collector: You go over what he draws with a pen--that's tracing.
Banky: Not really. Next!
Collector: Hey man, if somebody draws something and then you draw the exact same thing right on top of it, not going outside the designated original art, what do you call that?
Little Kid: I don't know. Tracing?
Collector: See?
Banky: It's not tracing.
Collector: Oh, but it is.
Banky: Do you want your book signed or what?
Collector: Hey--don't get all testy with him just because you have a problem with your station in life.
Banky: Oh, I'm secure with what I do.
Collector: Then just say it--you're a tracer.
Banky: How should I sign this?
Little Kid: I don't want you to sign it. I want the guy that draws Bluntman and Chronic to sign it. You're just a tracer.
Collector: Tell him, Little Shaver
Holden: Who do I sign it to?
Collector: YOU'RE MUCKING WITH A "G," YOU FUCKING TRACER!
Banky: I'LL TRACE A CHALK LINE AROUND YOUR DEAD FUCKING BODY, YOU FUCK!
Hooper: Now my book, White-Hating Coon, doesn't have any of that bullshit. The hero's name is Maleekwa, and he's a descendant of the black tribe that established the first society on the planet, while all you European motherfuckers were still hiding in caves and shit, all terrified of the sun. He's a strong role model that a young black man can look up to. 'Cause I'm here to tell you--the chickens are comin' home to roost, ya'll: The black man's no longer gonna play the ministrel in the medium of comincs and Sci-Fi/Fantasy! We're keeping it real, and we're gonna get respect--by any means necessary!
Holden: That's a bunch of bullshit! Lando Calrissian was a black man, and he got to fly the Millennium Falcon!
Hooper: Who said that?
Holden: I did! Lando Calrissian is a positive black role model in the realm of Science Fiction/Fantasy.
Hooper: Fuck Lando Calrissian! Uncle Tom nigger! Always some white boy gotta invoke "the holy trilogy!" Bust this--those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother man down--even in a galaxy far, far away. Check this shit: You got Cracker farmboy Luke Skywaker; Nazi poster boy--blonde hair, blue eyes. And then you've got Darth Vadar: the blackes brother in the galaxy. Nubian God.
Banky: What's a Nubian?
Hooper: Shut the fuck up! Now Vader, he's a spiritual brother, with the Force and all that shit. Then this cracker Skywalker gets his hands on a light-saber and the boy decides he's gonna run the fucking universe--gets a whole Klan of whites together, and they're gonna bust up Vader's 'hood--the Death Star. Now what the fuck do you call that?
Banky: Intergalactic Civil War?
Hooper: Gentrification. They're gonna drive out the black element, to make the galaxy quote, unquote safe for white folks.
Holden: But Vader turns out to be Luke's father. And in Jedi, they become friends.
Hooper: Don't make me bust a cap in your ass, yo! Jedi's the most insulting installment, because Vader's beautiful, black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty old white man! They're trying to tell us that deep inside, we all want to be white!
Banky: Well, isn't that true?
Hooper: BLACK RAGE! BLACK RAGE! I'LL KILL ANY WHITE FOLKS I LAY MY MOTHERFUCKIN' EYES ON!
