Graham:
[on the phone]
Mom, I can't talk to you right now, okay? I'm having sex with a white woman. [hangs up, and Ria gets out of bed] Graham:
OK, where were we? Ria:
I was white, and you were about to jerk off in the shower. Graham:
Oh, shit. Come on. I would have said you were Mexican, but I don't think it would have pissed her off as much. Ria:
Why do you keep everybody a certain distance, huh? What, you start to feel something and panic? Graham:
Come on, Maria. You're just pissed 'cause I answered the phone. Ria:
That's just where I begin to get pissed. I mean, really, what kind of man speaks to his mother that way, huh? Graham:
Oh, this is about my mother. What do you know about my mother? Ria:
If I was your father, I'd kick your fucking ass. Graham:
OK, I was raised badly. Why don't you take your clothes off, get back into bed, and teach me a lesson? Ria:
You want a lesson? I'll give you a lesson. How 'bout a geography lesson? My father's from Puerto Rico. My mother's from El Salvador. Neither one of those is Mexico. Graham:
Ah. Well then I guess the big mystery is, who gathered all those remarkably different cultures together and taught them all how to park their cars on their lawns?
