It's eleven o'clock in the morning. Like you aren't shaming me by suggesting that me drinking water would actually be a bad thing. And as for that wedge of lime, it makes it an alkaline, so...

Oh, my God. Your mom has really fucked you up. No, she just raised me. She didn't abandon me 25 years ago. Whoa, whoa, pump your brakes now.

It's a little more complicated than that. Oh, okay. Well, I didn't realize that it was complicated. You know, in that case, all is forgiven. You're standing here acting like I ain't remember you. Like I ain't send you shit every birthday... Like the condoms you sent me when I was 10? Remember that year I sent you those VIP passes to Honeybuns with the complimentary $500 stacks? No.

She's scared you're gonna run into your grandma up in there. You know, she had more stripper girlfriends than an Arab got hoes in the harem. Could you not talk about my grandmother like that, please?

So... you in the city now? Oh, no, don't tell me. Uh... down in Soho, exposed brick loft, with a bi-curious roommate, with a little furry-ass dog. And... Oh! A farmhouse sink. You've been stalking my Facebook? I look like I'm on Facebook, motherfucker?

You come in here with your skinny-ass jeans, your button-down plaid Gap shirt, and what looks like some badminton fucking Nikes.

Oh, your mom did one hell of a job turning you into a bona fide white boy. Oh, what? 'Cause I shop at the Gap and I have a college degree and I know my FICO score, that means I'm not black? - Well, it kind of does. - You know what? I'm not doing this with you. I didn't come here to argue about my clothes, or where I work, or any of the father-son stuff that you wanna talk about. I'm here for business. What kind of business could your Don Lemon ass have in my world?

No matter how hard your mom tried to kill that family shit in you, those Shaft swimmers found their way all the way up in that pussy, didn't they? Come on. How far along is she? How much you need? No, there's no she.
