Buggin Out:
You almost knocked me down, man. The word is "Excuse me".
Clifton:
Ah, excuse me. I'm sorry.
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"?

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?
Clifton:
I own this brownstone.
Buggin Out:
Who told you to buy a brownstone on my block, in my neighborhood, on my side of the street? Yo, what you wanna live in a black neighborhood for, anyway? Man, motherfuck gentrification.
