Oh, I dunno. I mean I'd like to believe I'm not but I just... I've just never seen any proof so I... I just don't debate it anymore, you know? It's like I could spend my whole life debating it over and over again, weighing the pros and cons and in the end I still wouldn't have any proof so I just... I just don't debate it anymore.

Get on the Bus  - Quotes

 George:
Let's go get something to eat, Rick, then I'll drive the bus for awhile.
Rick:
I need you to do me a favor, George.
George:
Rick, you can't drive the Spotted Owl the whole way, now.
Rick:
That's not it. If the base calls in, you tell them I got sick.
George:
Why?
Rick:
Because I'm not coming back.
George:
Shit, what the hell do you mean you're not coming back?
Rick:
I can't do it.
George:
Oh come on, stop bullshitting, you're just trying to go to Graceland.
Rick:
I'd be safer there.
George:
Meaning what, what do you think we're going to do, put you in a pot of boiling water and have you for supper?
Rick:
You already got the damn African drums in there.
George:
You know Rick, that's the epitome of cultural disrespect. I could come back at you with something anti-Semitic or I could whip your ass, which would you prefer, Rick?
Rick:
I'm sorry. Alright, George, here it is. Maybe I am a little bit prejudiced against blacks but no more than you're prejudiced against white people. You want me to stay on and prove how liberal and shit I am? I don't have to prove anything to anybody. I mean I think affirmative action has been fucked up. I think OJ was guilty, he's a cold blooded murderer who slaughtered two innocent human beings, okay. There it is.
George:
I'll bet you wish there were more white players in the NBA, too, huh? Well okay, let's just get it out in the open. I'll bet you'd like to call me a nigger or, what do you call it, a schvartze, or whatever the fuck it is. Well, I'm going to allow you to say it, go ahead.
Rick:
I never called anybody that in my life. All I'm saying is that if this bus is going to the Farrakhan march, I can't be a part of that.
George:
This is not just Farrakhan's march.
Rick:
I don't want to debate this thing. He called Judaism a gutter religion; he said Hitler was a great man. I wouldn't expect you to drive a bus to a Ku Klux Klan rally, so don't expect me to do this.
George:
So now you're comparing this to a Klan rally.
Rick:
Look George, either you're going to kick my ass, you're going to cover for me or I'm going to get fired. But no way am I getting my white ass back in that bus, so what's it going to be?
George:
Well, if you feel that way, then you shouldn't get your white ass back on that bus. I'll cover for you, Rick. See you in LA.
Rick:
Thanks, George.
