Graham : [on the phone] Mom, I can't talk to you right now, okay? I'm having sex with a white woman.
[hangs up, and Ria gets out of bed]
Graham : OK, where were we?
Ria : I was white, and you were about to jerk off in the shower.
Graham : Oh, shit. Come on. I would have said you were Mexican, but I don't think it would have pissed her off as much.
Ria : Why do you keep everybody a certain distance, huh? What, you start to feel something and panic?
Graham : Come on, Maria. You're just pissed 'cause I answered the phone.
Ria : That's just where I begin to get pissed. I mean, really, what kind of man speaks to his mother that way, huh?
Graham : Oh, this is about my mother. What do you know about my mother?
Ria : If I was your father, I'd kick your fucking ass.
Graham : OK, I was raised badly. Why don't you take your clothes off, get back into bed, and teach me a lesson?
Ria : You want a lesson? I'll give you a lesson. How 'bout a geography lesson? My father's from Puerto Rico. My mother's from El Salvador. Neither one of those is Mexico.
Graham : Ah. Well then I guess the big mystery is, who gathered all those remarkably different cultures together and taught them all how to park their cars on their lawns?

Motorcycle Cop : Calm down, ma'am.
Kim Lee : I am calm.
Motorcycle Cop : I need to see your registration and insurance.
Kim Lee : Why? Not my fault! It's her fault! She do this!
Ria : [approaching] My fault?
Motorcycle Cop : Ma'am, you really need to wait in your vehicle.
Ria : [appraoching] My fault?
Kim Lee : Stop in the middle of street! Mexicans! No know how to drive! She blake too fast!
Ria : I "blake" too fast? I "blake" too fast? I'm sorry, you no see my "blake lights"?
Motorcycle Cop : [to Ria] Ma'am...
Ria : [to Kim Lee] See, I stop when I see long line of cars stop in front of me. Maybe you see over steering wheel, you "blake" too.
Motorcycle Cop : [to Ria] Ma'am...
Ria : Officer, can you please write down in your report how shocked I am to be hit by an Asian driver?

Ria : Graham, I think we got rear ended. I think we spun around twice, and somewhere in there, one of us lost our frame of reference. And I'm going to look for it.
