• Bus Driver : Hey... ah, what happened to you man... uh, how come I never noticed you were colored before?

  Jeff Gerber : Because I was never colored before!

  Bus Driver : Oh, it happened just like that, huh?

  Jeff Gerber : Just like that!

  Bus Driver : Well, when you get back on the bus, just sit down and cool it - they don't love you, you know.

  Jeff Gerber : *Nobody* loves me - big deal!

  Bus Driver : Well just don't make any trouble.

  Jeff Gerber : Listen, I am *not* colored!

  Bus Driver : I know, I'm Spanish myself.

• Bus Driver : Fare please.

  Jeff Gerber : Arrogant. Arrogant. You're all arrogant. In the good old days, back in the old South, you would have to drive from back here! Get it? Back of the bus!
