Quote from Killing Them Softly:
Barack Obama [voice]: "...to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one..."
Driver: "You hear that line? Line's for you."
Jackie: "Don't make me laugh. One people. It's a myth created by Thomas Jefferson."
Driver: "Oh, so now you're going to have a go at Jefferson, huh?"
Jackie: "My friend, Thomas Jefferson is an American saint because he wrote the words 'All men are created equal', words he clearly didn't believe since he allowed his own children to live in slavery. He's a rich white snob who's sick of paying taxes to the Brits. So, yeah, he writes some lovely words and aroused the rabble and they went and died for those words while he sat back and drank his wine and fucked his slave girl. This guy wants to tell me we're living in a community? Don't make me laugh. I'm living in America, and in America you're on your own. America's not a country. It's just a business. Now fuckin' pay me."
