Episode Quotes

Black man: I saw her come in and I was like 'Who here came down with a case of jungle fever?'
Mary: Right, like any of these guys...
Roman DeBeers: Actually, you have it reversed. Her lusting after him, thats jungle fever.
Black man: I think it applies generally.
Roman DeBeers: No, technically its white on black.
Mary: Because black people live in the jungle?
Roman DeBeers: Not all, obviously. Just no white people do.
Black man: Well what term would you use to refer to a black person lusting after a white person?
Roman DeBeers: Temperate deciduous fever? Fjord fever? These are all just facts of semantics, I'm not being racist. I'm post-racial. People are people. If you're cool, you're cool.
Mary: If you're an ass, you're an ass.
Roman DeBeers: Exactly.
Blues Singer: I don't know if I can really explain it in words. It's more like something you live.
Kyle Bradway: Like the black experience.
Blues Singer: And having stuff to be blue about.
Kyle Bradway: Yeah, okay! Like... I did this movie, right? It was supposed to bump me up to the B-list. Well, it goes straight to video. And this yoga model I was hooking up with? Stops calling. AND my Xbox is all weird. It's like nothing's going right!
