[in regards to a white mistress at a black man's funeral]
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.
