Randall Park: Randall Park

Quotes 

• Dwayne Johnson : [recounting his move to Pennsylvania as a teenager]  So, money wasn't coming in the way it used to, so he and my mom opened up a cleaning business. I had a side job after school slinging pizza, but the only thing I wanted to do was chase girls. And to get their attention, I thought that I had to look rich, hence all the stealing.

  Sandy : Candidate Johnson, please, remember our media training session.

  Dwayne Johnson : It's fine, Sandy.

  Randall Park : [a little irked]  Yeah, it's fine, Sandy.

  Dwayne Johnson : So, my dad was still trying to wrestle any chance that he got, so my Uncle Afa from the Wild Samoans...

  Randall Park : The Wild Samoans.

  [he tries to growl like them] 

  Dwayne Johnson : Yeah, that's good. Borderline inappropriate.

  Randall Park : Oh.

  Dwayne Johnson : It was the tongue.

  Randall Park : Yeah. Oh, sorry.

  Dwayne Johnson : Yeah. Uh, so my Uncle Afa hooked my dad up with a promoter who got him booked on some local shows, which was great. I mean, we needed the money, but my dad was still very much reliving his glory days of the early '80s.

• Karen : [at a flea market]  Dwyane, can we go? There is a woman trying to sell me what I think is a racist syrup jar.

  Dwayne Johnson (Age 15) : Um, we gotta...

  Rocky Johnson : Oh, wait, wait, no. You can't leave before the main event.

  Dwayne Johnson (Age 15) : [torn between a decision]  For sure, we're staying. No way we're missing a Rocky Johnson show.

  Rocky Johnson : That's my boy.

  Hal : Rocky, showtime.

  Rocky Johnson : Great, thanks, Hal.

  [to Dwayne] 

  Rocky Johnson : I'll see you after the match?

  Karen : No way we're staying. There is a man selling a pile of old baby shoes, and it is freaking me out.

  Dwayne Johnson (Age 15) : If you want to leave, go ahead, but I'm staying.

  Karen : Why?

  Dwayne Johnson (Age 15) : He's my dad.

  Randall Park : Like Karen, I'm also confused. Why did you stay?

  Dwayne Johnson : He's my dad. That's it.

• Randall Park : I'm Randall Park at Freedom High School, continuing our all-access coverage of the Dwayne Johnson presidential campaign.

  Superintendent Broward : Thank you for joining us for the official opening of the Dwayne Johnson Library. Dwayne, we always knew that you were destined for greatness.

  Dwayne Johnson : [in a sit-down interview]  Nice lady. She made me sound good, but none of it was true. I mean, the only thing that people said I was destined to do was time.

  Randall Park : [chuckling together]  That's good.

  Dwayne Johnson : As we all know, nobody's perfect, and we all screw up. I just happened to screw up a little bit more than most. As a matter of fact, Randall, when I first got here to Freedom High School, I was a hardcore shoplifter.

  Randall Park : Mm-hmm.

  [to the cameramen] 

  Randall Park : Hey, just so you know, you guys have to come in tighter when he says stuff like that.

  [the camera starts to move] 

  Randall Park : Well, it's too late now. It's too late. Back up. Just anticipate.

• Dwayne Johnson : [visiting his old high school]  So, we moved here to Bethlehem from Nashville because my dad wasn't wrestling for Vince McMahon anymore.

  Randall Park : That's your father...

  Dwayne Johnson : Mm-hmm.

  Randall Park : [imitating a ring announcer]  ..."Soul Man" Rocky Johnson!

  Dwayne Johnson : Nice, man. Good job. Give me some.

  Randall Park : [fist-bumping]  All right.

  Dwayne Johnson : You practiced that, didn't you?

  Randall Park : I did. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I used to be an actor.

  Dwayne Johnson : You have.

  Randall Park : I have?

  Dwayne Johnson : Yeah, yeah.

  Randall Park : Okay.

  Dwayne Johnson : Multiple times.
