Casual Banter Among Characters
Troy Barlow:
Conrad, you've washed your hands like ten times.
Conrad Vig:
Lord knows what kind of vermin live in the butt of a Dune Coon.
Chief Elgin:
Why do you let this cracker hang around with you, man?

He's all right, man. He's from a group home in Dallas. He's got no high school.
Vig:
Don't tell people that.
Elgin:
I don't care if he's from Johannesburg. I don't want to hear Dune Coon or Sand Nigger from him or anybody else.
Vig:
Captain uses those terms.
Barlow:
That's not the point, Conrad. The point is that Towel Head and Camel Jockey are perfectly good substitutes.
Elgin:
