Fear and Misunderstanding in Society
George You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it.
Billy Huh. Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened, man. Hey, we can't even get into like, uh, second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel. You dig? They think we're gonna cut their throat or something, man. They're scared, man.
George Oh, they're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to em.
Billy Hey man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody needs a haircut.

Customer 4 Well, one of them darned sure is not Oola.
Customer 1 Look like a bunch of refugees from a gorilla love-in.
Customer 2 A gorilla couldn't love that.
Customer 1 Nor could a mother.
Customer 3 I'd love to mate him up with one of those black wenches out there.
