  [David Duke] 

  Sergeant Trapp : says, noone wants to be called a bigot anymore because Archie Bunker made that too uncool. So, the idea is under all these issues... everyday Americans can accept it. Support it. Until eventually, one day he gets somebody in the White House that embodies it.

• Sergeant Trapp : I've got a friend, he keeps up with these groups. He says they're moving away from the old violent racist styles. That's what Duke is peddling now, it's become mainstream.

  Ron Stallworth : Duke?

  Sergeant Trapp : David Duke, current Grand Wizard of The Klan, but, he's always in a three piece suit. He's never seen in a hood or a robe in public. And he now goes by National Director. So, he's clearly got his sights on higher office.

  Ron Stallworth : Politics? How so?

  Sergeant Trapp : I think it's another way to sell hate. Think about it: Affirmative Action, Immigration, Crime, Tax Reform. He says no one wants to be called a bigot anymore. Because, Archie Bunker made that too un-cool. So, the idea is under all these issues, everyday Americans can accept it, support it, until eventually, one day, you get somebody in the White House that embodies it.

  Ron Stallworth : Huh, sorry. Come on. America would never elect somebody like David Duke, President of the United States of America.

• Sergeant Trapp : Lie Detector? Shots Fired? Are you fuckin' kiddin' me? It's a God damn cluster fuck! You dickheads are fuckin' with me. You're jerkin' my chain. You're jerkin' my chain. I'm gettin' a reach around from the Chief. It's a big fuckin' circle jerk!
