"Goooolly! Them sure is some pretty rugs! Quick---teach me how to haggle!"

"Hey, do you speak English? No? Then I'll talk SLOW...AND...LOUD so you can UNDERSTAND...ME! IS...THAT...BETTER??"

"Ya got any malls out here? Man, you should come to America and we'll show you some real malls! In fact, we're all shoppin' real hard back home so our troops can fight for your freedom. Y'ever hear of credit cards? They're pretty sweet, too."

"Next vacation you gotta visit Myrtle Beach. Awesome golf courses there. Great pro shop. Use your triple-A discount."

"Psst...my kid wants to know if you can teach me some eye-raqi cuss words. Like, how do ya say 'shit' in eye-raqi? C'mon, tell me."

"So honestly...do ya feel safe here, Ahmed? Of course ya do, of course ya do. Stupid question. Gimme a high five, dude. No, wait, not yet, let 'em point their cameras. Okay, aaaand... slap me some skin, buddy, yeahhh!!"
