Gary Anthony Williams: Tarik
Quotes
-
Harold : So what are you in here for?
Tarik : For being black.
Harold : Seriously.
Tarik : I am serious. You wanna know what happened? I was walking out of a Barnes & Noble, and a cop stops me. Evidently, a black guy robbed a store in Newark. I told him, "I haven't even been to Newark in months." So he starts beating me with his gun, telling me to stop resisting arrest.
Harold : Holy shit! What'd you do?
Tarik : I kept saying, "I understand I'm under arrest. Now please stop beating me."
Harold : I'm sorry, I don't understand how you can be so calm about all this.
Tarik : Look at me. I'm fat, black, can't dance, and I have two gay fathers. People have been messing with me my whole life. I learned a long time ago there's no sense getting all riled up every time a bunch of idiots give you a hard time. In the end, the universe tends to unfold as it should. Plus I have a really large penis. That keeps me happy.

Tarik : What are you talking about? I'm just sitting here.
Officer Reilly : He's trying to break free! Get him!
Tarik : Aw, shit.
[gets up and spread eagles on the cell wall, while still holding the book in one hand]
Officer Martone : Don't move. Stop resisting! We need back up now! He's got a gun!

Officer Reilly : Secure the book!
