Great Moments In 21st Century Film

In honor of yesterday's elections that nobody knew about, here's a nice little dialogue from the end of Killing Me Softly:

Two men sitting at a bar overhear President Obama on TV saying, "We affirm that fundamental truth, that out of many we are one."
Man #1: "You hear that line? Line's for you."
Man #2: "Don't make me laugh. We're one people? It's a myth, created by Thomas Jefferson."
Man #1: "Oh now you're going to have a go at Jefferson, huh?"
Man #2: "My friend, Jefferson's 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 was a rich wine-snob who was sick of paying taxes to the Brits, so yeah he wrote some lovely words and aroused the rabble and they went out 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 fucking pay me."
