You said the guy's a racist homophobe And an anti-Semite It just doesn't come up much 'cause there are no Jewish cops or perps This is my boss, Will It's important Well, if it's important to you it's important to me What, Grace? I am not wearing your sweatsuit Yours is lavender God, Karen, I'm so nervous I haven't hada dance-off since highschool Well, it wasn't so much a dance-off as I was beaten up by the football team But I still danced my heart out Honey It's memories like that those football player will treasure forever Oh, God.
My knee I can hardly walk Luckily, I don't have to walk I just have to dance You're goin' down, newbie!

Wait.
My dance-off opponent was your former lover? What a twist! I did not see that coming - This show is so sad - What are you watching?

What do you need me for? You're just sitting around, picking at a scab I cut myself shaving three weeks ago and it still hasn't healed! Not that scab! The emotional sc-- Oh, never mind!

He's just a rebound guy I resent that! I am vulnerable And this is the first man that I have been with since my marriage failed who has allowed me to come back-- rebound, if you will-- from all that pain So how dare you imply some sort of "rebound guy.
" Fine! But I still won't throw the dance I wouldn't do it for 30 football players pushing my face into the gym floor and I won't do it for you! Yeah, they got me doin' this sensitivity training I wasn't sure about it at first but, uh, it's been eye-opening - Pay attention - I am Like, did you know you're not supposed to say the word "Oriental" anymore? It's considered disparaging Unless you're talking about a rug Made by an Oriental Ha ha ha ha! - Enough with the phone already - I'm sorry.
Grace and I had a fi-- Never mind You know what else is not popular all of a sudden? "Wop" Yeah, it's a shame so many racial epithets have fallen out since the civil rights movement Excuse me Aw, me and my big mouth - Please tell me he's not a Guinea - No, sir.
He's not But for what it's worth, I am - Hey - Hey - I'm sorry - Me too You know what?You may be right I think I'm making things worse Oh, sweetie I hear rustling Is-- Are you wearing your wedding dress? No, just the veil For God's sake, Grace! Take that off and put it back in my closet! Look, I gotta go Just, just-- Remember that jerk cheated on you and you are better off alone What are you doing? I'm stuck in there, listening to him talk about how he's learning to love his mulatto bastard grandchild I'm sorry I had to talk to Grace Right.
