Mildred Hayes: — So how's it all going in the nigger-torturing business, Dixon?
Jason Dixon: — It's persons-of-color-torturing business, these days. If you wanna know... I didn't torture nobody. What's the matter with you, saying that goddamn stuff on TV? My momma watches that station!
Mildred Hayes: — Your momma doesn't know about the torturing?
Jason Dixon: — No, she doesn't know anything about it. She's against that kinda thing.
Bill Willoughby: — Who's against what?
Jason Dixon: — My mama... momma is against persons-of-color-torturing. She said, "Nigger-torturing." I said, "You can't say 'nigger-torturing' no more. "You gotta say persons-of-color-torturing." Isn't that right, Chief? Ain't that right?
Bill Willoughby: — I think I'll be able to take care of Mrs. Hayes on my own from here on, Jason.
