Dev : You see The Social Network? Max Minghella plays an Indian guy. He's white. They browned him up.
Ravi : No no, I read he's one-sixteenth Indian.
Dev : Who cares? If you go back far enough we're all one-sixteenth something. I'm probably one-sixteenth black. You think they're gonna let me play Blade?

Ravi : Why won't you do an accent?
Dev : I don't want to play a stereotype. It's offensive. But you've done it so many times. Your IMDb page is a list of Indian stereotypes: gas station clerk, IT guy, guy in crowd with Indian accent. I get a shot at the Schwimmer money, and now you get a conscience?
Ravi : That was the old Ravi, okay? That was before the Short Circuit 2 revelation!
Anush : What's wrong with Short Circuit 2?
Ravi : That's a white actor. They used brownface makeup.
Anush : Like the Popchips commercial? Is Mindy Kaling real?

Terrence : [looking at football helmet] This is my pitch for what they should change the name to: the Washington Breadsticks.
Dev : Is this real? Are you serious?
Terrence : Yeah, I mean, it sounds like Redskins. Listen closely. Breadsticks. Redskins. Breadsticks. Redskins. It just makes sense.
Ravi : Yeah, I don't know if it does.
Dev : It doesn't, no.
