You wanna get fucked? Huh? Is that what you want?
Sexual harassment is about power. When did I have the power? When?
Why don't I just admit it? Admit that I'm that evil white guy everyone is always complaining about? Hey Chau-Minh, come down here so I can exercise my patriarchal urge!

Oh, you son-of-a-bitch ... you get back in here and finish what you started. Do you hear me? Do you hear me? You get back in here and finish what you started or you're fuckin' dead. You hear me? You're FUCKIN' DEAD!
Oh Tom, you are the one person I know who sucks up to the people below you.
Of course everyone knows! I'm so old fashioned, I greet my employees with a handshake!
