Party of Five · Season 3, Episode 19

Sam and Julia in “Point of No Return”

SSam

The thing I said earlier? You know, I said a lot of things earlier. You're gonna have to be more specific.

Well, I don't remember word for word, but...

SSam

This is good. Aluminium frame. You can lug this around for a few months, right?

I-- I was whining about Grace, and you said something like: "Those people know a lot about the legal system."

SSam

Oh, right. Yeah, that was a joke. Here, you gotta try it on to see.

So, when you said "those people," you meant blacks?

SSam

Right.

So it was a joke about how blacks are criminals?

SSam

Oh, it's not like I think all blacks are criminals. I'm sure lots aren't.

Most. Most aren't.

SSam

Whatever. Most.

It's a big difference.

SSam

Fine. What--? What's your point? That I'm a racist? 'Cause I'm not. I got, like, three black guys working for me, so--

Look, I'm not attacking you. I just wanna know how you feel. 'Cause for me, I don't think that race should be an issue.

SSam

You don't think there's any difference between blacks and whites?

No.

SSam

So, when you're driving through the tenderloin at night and you lock your doors, what's that about?

That's not because it's a black neighbourhood. It's because it's an unsafe neighbourhood.

SSam

Oh, so you lock your doors in unsafe white neighbourhoods too? Hard to say, right? It's 'cause there aren't any.

[Scoffs] That is not true. And besides, it's more complicated than that.

SSam

Oh, of course it is. Look, this is a stupid thing to fight about. I-I-- I'm sorry if the joke made you uncomfortable. I won't make jokes like that anymore. Okay? Hey, check it out. Daypack inserts. We should get some of those.
