Buggin Out: Not only did ya knock me down, you stepped on my brand-new white Air Jordans I just bought, and that's all you can say is "Excuse me"?
Clifton: What, are you serious?
Buggin Out: Yeah, I'm serious. I'll fuck you up quick two times.
Ahmad: Two times.
Buggin Out: Who told you to step on my sneakers? Who told you to walk on my side of the block? Who told you to be in my neighborhood?

Do the Right Thing - Cultural Identity and Ownership in Conflict

Buggin Out: Hey, hey, Sal, how come you ain't got no brothers up on the wall here?

Vito: Take it easy, Pop.
Pino: Don't start.
Buggin Out: Yeah, that might be fine, Sal, but, you own this, rarely do I see any American Italians eatin in here. All I see is Black folks. So since we spend much money here, we do have some say.
