Caf?® Quote

Earth Mother: [conducting job interview]Let me tell you what I think. Either you want to punish your parents for spoiling you when you were a child, you want to save the poor black man from all the indignities he suffered at the hand of your ancestors, or you had a nanny when you were a little girl. A Jamaican, probably, who treated you better than anybody else. I've had enough bright-eyed kids tell me that all they wanted to do was make a difference in this life. But let me tell you one thing, you're parents did the best they knew how. And as for me and the other white men, you are not going to get a pat on the back for putting your life at risk on our account. My neighborhood is never going to be like your neighborhood. And guilt - guilt is no bridge to build your future on.
Sally: So are you going to ask me any questions, or did I just come all this way to get my mind read?
