4 quotesA Request for Reluctant Emigration Advice
Consulate Envoy
What can I do for you today?
Leo
Okay, I have this problem, this very delicate matter. I have a friend of mine, wants to emigrate to South Africa.
Consulate Envoy
Yes, of course. I can certainly help him do that.
Leo
Oh sure. But I want you to talk him out of it.
Consulate Envoy
Talk him out of it?
Leo
Yeah.
Consulate Envoy
Whatever for?
Leo
W-well, you see, this is such a bad time for him to go to South Africa. I mean with all the trouble and everything, okay.
Consulate Envoy
Look, why don’t you ask your friend to come back later in the week. We can sit down-
Leo
No, he’s here. He’s here.
Consulate Envoy
He’s here?
Leo
Yeah, he’s here now.
Consulate Envoy
Where?

Murtaugh
How you doing?
Consulate Envoy
I think there must be some mistake.
[dumbstruck]
Murtaugh
Say what?
Consulate Envoy
Sir, listen to your friend, here. He knows what he’s talking about. I don’t think you want to go to South Africa.
Murtaugh
Why not?
Consulate Envoy
B-Because you’re black.
Leo
You are. He is.
[to Murtaugh; to Envoy]
Murtaugh
Of course I'm black. That’s why I wanna go to South Africa. To join up with my oppressed brothers. To take up the struggle against the tyranny of the racist, fascist, white, minority regime!
Leo
White, fascist regime!
Murtaugh
One man, one vote!
Leo
One man, one vote!
Murtaugh
Free South Africa, you dumb son of a bitch!

Naming and Imagining Crabbe Town's Charm
Leonard Crabbe
This whole area here is called Crabbe Town. We've got a brothel down there above the saloon. And right down there further along I'm thinking of building a French Quarter. I've actually got a bit of French blood.
[Leonard shows Mitch his model trains]
Mitch Cohen
I would love to see this town in the autumn. I think Crabbeville in autumn would look quite magnificent. I would have made tiny little leaves, oak, poplar, maple, chestnut, and spread them across the town of Crabbe...ville. Magnificent.
Leonard Crabbe
It's Crabbe Town, not Crabbeville.
