Ron Stallworth: Hello, this is Ron Stallworth calling. Who am I speaking with?

David Duke: This is David Duke.

Ron Stallworth: The Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, *that* David Duke?

David Duke: The last time I checked. What can I do you for?

Ron Stallworth: Well, since you asked, I hate Niggers, I hate Jews. Spics and Mexs. Italians and Chinks. But my mouth to God's ears, I really hate those black rats, and anyone else really that doesn't have pure white Aryan blood running through their veins!

David Duke: I'm happy to be talking to a true white American.

Ron Stallworth: God bless white America.

David Duke: Today, we are privileged to be among White Men - and White Women - such as yourselves. Real warriors for the *real* America, the America our ancestors fought and died for. The true White American Race, the backbone from whence came our great Southern heritage. And I want to thank you, I want to thank you so much, for never putting your country second. America first.

David Duke, Klansmen: America first. America first. America first. America first. America first. America first. America first. America first. America first. America first. America first. America first. America first.

[clapping]

Waiter: Ain't this a bitch. If I would have known this was a Klan meeting, I wouldn't have taken this motherfuckin' gig. God damn!

Flip Zimmerman: For you it's a crusade. For me it's a job.

Ron Stallworth: You're Jewish. They hate you. Doesn't that piss you off? Why are you acting like you don't got skin in the game?

Ron Stallworth: [answering a phone call from Duke] Mr. Duke, I'm so sorry we didn't get to spend more one-on-one time together.

David Duke: Well, that was a just a tragedy. I had just met those heroic brothers in the cause.

Flip Zimmerman: Heroic.

Ron Stallworth: Yeah. And the chapter is just shaken at the core.

David Duke: Oh.

Ron Stallworth: Yeah. And poor Connie, right? I mean, not only does she lose her husband, but...

Flip Zimmerman: Poor Connie.

Jimmy Creek: Connie's going away.

Flip Zimmerman: We feel bad for Connie.

Ron Stallworth: [continuing] ... she's looking at serious prison time.

David Duke: My God. And then there was that Nigger detective. Basically...

[the officers laugh]

Ron Stallworth: [to the other officers] Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut up, shut up.

Ron Stallworth: Those goddamn coloreds they sure know how to spoil a celebration.

Jimmy Creek: [to Flip] Hey, you're getting me in trouble.

David Duke: [to Ron] Christ, you can say that again.

Ron Stallworth: Those goddamn coloreds sure know how to spoil a celebration. Can I ask you a question, sir?

David Duke: Shoot.

Ron Stallworth: That Nigger detective, did you ever did you ever get his name?

David Duke: No. I don't think I...

Ron Stallworth: Are-uh you sure you don't know who he is? Are-uh you absolutely sure? 'Cause that Nigga, coon, gator bait, spade, spook, Sambo, spear-chucking jungle bunny, Mississippi wind chime...

David Duke: Wind chime?

Ron Stallworth: [continuing] ... detective is Ron Stallworth, you racist, peckerwood, redneck, inch worm, needle-dick motherfucker!

[Ron hangs up, leaving Duke bewildered]

[first lines]

Dr. Kennebrew Beauregard: Hello, my fellow Americans. They say we may have lost the battle but we didn't lose the war. Yes, my friends, we are under attack. You may have read about this in your local newspapers or seen it on the evening news. That's right. We are living in an era marked by the spread of integration and miscegenation. The Brown decision. The Brown decision, forced upon us by the Jewish-controlled puppets on the U.S. Supreme Court, compelling white children to go to school with an inferior race, is the final nail in a coffin, is the final nail in a black coffin towards America becoming a mongrel nation. We had a great way of life. We had a great way of life. We had a great way of life. We had a great way of life until the Martin Luther Coons of this world and their army of Commies started their civil rights assault against our holy white Protestant values. Do you really want your precious white child going to school with Negroes? They're lying, dirty monkeys, stopping at nothing to gain their equality with white men. Rapists, murderers, craving the virgin white, is it "virgin pure"? Rapists, murderers, craving the virgin pure flesh of white women. They are super predators! And the Negro's insidious tactics, under the tutelage of high-ranking, blood-sucking Jews, using an army of outside northern black beast preda... agitators. God, watch this! God! Using an army of outside northern black beast agitators determined to overthrow the God-commanded and biblically inspired rule of the white race. It's an international Jewish conspiracy. May God bless us all.

[last lines; in video footage]

Donald J. Trump: [referring to the Charlottesville riots] You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. Not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists. You also had people that were very fine people.

David Duke: Because I believe that today in Charlottesville, this is a first step toward making a realization of something that Trump alluded to earlier in the campaign, which is... This is the first step toward taking America back.

Charlottesville Riot Protestor #1: I had to jump out of the way. I almost got hit by the car my fucking self. There are people, bodies laying on the ground right now.

Charlottesville Riot Protestor #2: And there was a woman laying there, hardly breathing, and we ended up rolling her over, and she died.

Charlottesville Riot Protestor #1: This is my town! We did not want them motherfuckers here!

Ron Stallworth: [asking Flip to help take a photo of him with David and another Klansman] Can you take this picture of us, please?

Flip Zimmerman: All right, don't touch me.

Ron Stallworth: Great. All right, all right, thank you so much. Thank you. Here we go. One, two, three!

[just before Flip takes the picture, Ron puts his arms around Duke and the other Klansman]

David Duke: Jesus H. Christ! What did you just do, boy? I mean, what the hell did you just do?

Ron Stallworth: Sir, if you lay a finger on me, I'll arrest your ass for assaulting a police officer. That's worth about five years in prison. Try me. See if I'm playing.

David Duke: Why don't you come down to Louisiana sometime? See how we play.

Flip Zimmerman: Boy, you better get your Nigger ass out of here now.

Ron Stallworth: Mm-hmm, America first.

Master Patrolman Andy Landers: [making an arrest] Black bitch, you get this Black Panther out of Colorado Springs before sunrise, you hear me? Or you'll all go to jail.

Kwame Ture: We were born in jail!

Chief Bridges: What was the room like?

Ron Stallworth: Folks were hanging on every word.

Jimmy Creek: Like a Baptist church on Christmas Sunday morning.

Felix Kendrickson: They're the first of many Niggers that must die, Honey Bun.

Connie Kendrickson: I know. It's just - becoming so real. It's always seemed like a dream.

Felix Kendrickson: I know. It's just so beautiful. We're cleansing this country of a backwards race of chimpanzees. First the Spooks, then the Kikes. Free at last. Free at last. Thank God a'mighty - free a' dem Niggers at last!

Connie Kendrickson: I love when you do that, Honey. We've talked about killing Niggers for so many years - and now it's really happening.

Felix Kendrickson: My Old Man always told me good things come to those who wait.

Connie Kendrickson: Thank you for bringing me into you life. For loving me like you do. Fora giving me a purpose, direction. This could be the new Boston Tea Party.

Sergeant Trapp: You know the way to sell hate? Affirmative action, immigration, crime, tax reform... He

[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.

Sgt. Morris: Need a file on a toad.

[Ron doesn't respond]

Sgt. Morris: You deaf? I said I need information on a toad.

Ron Stallworth: No toads here.

Sgt. Morris: Excuse me?

Ron Stallworth: I said, I don't have any Toads. I do have human beings and if you give me their names I can pull the files.

Sgt. Morris: [Sgt. Morris scowls. Ron stares back at him. Eye to eye] Heard you think you hot shit but you ain't nuthin' but a cold fart. Name's Maurice, Maurice Smalls... That respectful enough for you, Officer Toad?

Ron Stallworth: [Ron pulls the file, throws it down on the counter. As Sgt. Morris takes the file, Ron puts his hand on it, stopping him] Let me tell you something sergeant. The day of the Toads in The Records Room is over. You want to find a Toad... go look in the water out at Rainbow Falls. They got them there.

[Sgt. Morris snatches the file from the counter and storms off as Ron watches him go]

Flip Zimmerman: [comes up on the cops arresting Ron] Hey! Hey! Stand down!

CSPD Officer Brickhouse: Who the fuck are you?

Flip Zimmerman: Undercover cop, fucking idiot!

[tosses badge at him]

CSPD Officer Brickhouse: [in disbelief] This black guy's a cop?

Flip Zimmerman: Gimme your keys!

Jerome Turner: [addressing the Black Student Union] He was 17, I was 18, we kind of looked at Jesse and called him slow, today you'd call him mentally retarded. They claimed Jesse raped and murdered a white woman by the name Lucy Fryer. They put Jesse on trial, and he was convicted by an all-white jury, after they deliberated for only *four* minutes.

[students gasp]

Jerome Turner: ... I was working across the street at the shoeshine parlor, and after the verdict, the mob grabbed Jesse, put a chain around his neck and dragged him out of the courthouse. I knew I had to hide... where I was, the shoe parlor had a window up in the attic, and I could see the crowd, they marched Jesse through the streets, they stabbed him, and beat him, and finally in a bloody heap, they held him down in the street - and cut off his testicles.

[students exclaim in horror]

Jerome Turner: ... Police and city officials were out there watching him, they cut off his fingers, and threw coal oil all over his body. They lit a bonfire, and raised and lowered him over these flames over and over, and over again... The man, a photographer by the name of Gildersleeve, he came and took pictures of the whole thing, those pictures were later sold as postcards.

[students gasp as others hold up large copies of the photos]

Officer Clay Mulaney: Wow! Cybil Shepard.

Ron Stallworth: I loved her in "The Last Picture Show."

Officer Clay Mulaney: Never saw it. I don't like black and white movies. So, what do you think?

Ron Stallworth: I think she's a really good actress.

Officer Clay Mulaney: [picks a "Life" magazine with photo of Cybil Shepard on the cover] Oh, come on, you know you want some of that.

Chief Bridges: We've got limited time so I'll be quick. The black radical Stokely Carmichael is giving a speech tonight at Bell's Nightingale.

Ron Stallworth: Yep.

Chief Bridges: Carmichael is a former high muckity-muck with The Black Panthers and as far as I'm concerned, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was dead right when he said the Black Panthers are the greatest internal threat to the security of these United States. This Carmichael joker, former Panther or not, well they say he is a damn good speaker and so we don't want this Carmichael getting into the minds of the good black people here in Colorado Springs and stirring them up. Ron, your assignment is to go to this speech tonight, infiltrate these bunch of subversives and just monitor the audience reaction to Carmichael's speech. You ready?

Ron Stallworth: Born ready!

Ron Stallworth: Any chance this thing fucks up?

Flip Zimmerman: Oh, fuck yeah.

Ron Stallworth: Then what?

Jimmy Creek: Just stick to the game plan.

Ron Stallworth: Which is?

Flip Zimmerman: Improvise. Like jazz.

Jimmy Creek: Like be-bop!

Jimmy Creek: What if someone offers you a marijuana cigarette?

Ron Stallworth: You mean a joint?

Jimmy Creek: Yeah. Mary Jane. Excuse me.

Ron Stallworth: "Soul Brotha, I'm already high on life. Can you dig it?"

Patrice Dumas: Black Power! The Black Student Union of Colorado College is honored to bring the vanguard of revolutionaries fighting for the rights of black people all over the world. Let's show some black love to the one and only, the Brotha man with the plan, who is sticking it to the man. Put your hands together, my people, for our Kwame Ture.

Kwame Ture: Thank you Sista Patrice and the Black Student Union. I want to thank all of you, my beloved Sista's and Brotha's, for comin' out tonight. But, I'm here tonight to tell you that it is time for you to stop running away from being black. It is time for you to stop running away from being black! You're college students, right? You should think. It is time for you to understand that *you* as the growing intellectuals of this country, that *you* must define beauty for black people. Now that's Black Power!

Master Patrolman Andy Landers: I don't wanna see nuthin' but black asses and black elbows. Spread 'em! You that so called big shot Panther nigger aren't you? Heard you was in town, Stokely.

Kwame Ture: My Name is Kwame Ture.

Master Patrolman Andy Landers: I don't give two shits what your nigger name is!

Chief Bridges: Thank goodness Carmichael has left Colorado Springs.

Ron Stallworth: Kwame Ture.

Chief Bridges: What?

Ron Stallworth: He changed his name from Stokely Carmichael to Kwame Ture.

Chief Bridges: I don't care if he changed his name to that draft dodger Muhammad Ali. He's still dangerous.

Chief Bridges: Gettin' pretty chummy with her, huh?

Ron Stallworth: No. Just doin' my job, Chief. Undercover.

Chief Bridges: Well, let's just make sure it ain't undercover of the sheets.

Chief Bridges: Ron, I'm transferring you to Intelligence.

Ron Stallworth: What will I be doing there?

Chief Bridges: Intelligence. Against my better judgement.

Walter Breachway: [on the phone] Well we appreciate your interest. What's your story?

Ron Stallworth: Well, since you asked, since you asked I hate Niggers. I hate Jews, Spics and Mexs, Dagos and Chinks; but, my mouth to God's ears, I really hate those Nigger Rats - and anyone else, really, that does not have pure White Aryan Blood running through their veins. My sister, Pamela, she was just recently accosted by one of those black coons.

Walter Breachway: Is that so?

Ron Stallworth: Yeah. Every time I think about that black baboon putting his filthy black hands on her purest white driven snow body, I mean pure, Walter, she's a saint, she's an angel, it makes me wanna puke!

Walter Breachway: You are just the kind of guy we are looking for.

Chief Bridges: Can you do that?

Ron Stallworth: I believe we can. With the right white man, we can do anything.

Flip Zimmerman: What do we listen to?

Ron Stallworth: KWYD. Christian Talk in The Morning, although the signal starts to cut out near Pueblo. On the way back, I like to turn it to 102.7 to get my Allman Brothers fix. Only, I have to change it every time that British fag David Bowie pipes on.

Jimmy Creek: Oh-oh-oh, I love Bowie.

Ron Stallworth: Who doesn't, right? Remember you have to retain the information you share with these guys so I can be white Ron Stallworth.

Walter Breachway: They're taking over. Hell, it's all you see on the TV anymore. Niggers selling soap. Niggers selling toothpaste. Niggers selling automobiles. Everywhere you look its: niggers, niggers, niggers.

Ivanhoe: It wasn't long ago them Sumbitches wasn't on no TV.

Walter Breachway: Forgettin' about Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima.

Ivanhoe: Dang! You know, I kinda like dem' niggers - rice and pancakes.

Walter Breachway: All you get now is how you gotta' cater to them. Watch ya' mouth. Don't say this, don't say that. Be nice. Hell, they ain't even colored no more.

Felix Kendrickson: Negroes.

Ivanhoe: Blacks.

Walter Breachway: Afro-Americans.

Walter Breachway: Just to be clear, the "Organization" is strictly non-violent.

Ivanhoe: Non-violent - like that nigger, that dead nigger, Martin Luther Coon.

Flip Zimmerman: Are you trying to offend me?

Felix Kendrickson: Protocol.

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: Coming from a black man, that's pretty naive. Why don't you wake up?

Ron Stallworth: Why haven't you bought into this?

Flip Zimmerman: Why should I?

Ron Stallworth: Because you're Jewish, Brother. The so-called Chosen People. You've been passing for a WASP. White Anglo Saxon Protestant. Cherry pie, hot dog, white boy. It's what some light-skinned black folks do, they pass for white.

Patrice Dumas: Cleopatra Jones is the one. It's about time we started seeing a strong Sista like that.

Ron Stallworth: Well, Tamara Dobson did play a cop. Right?

Patrice Dumas: That was a Black Exploitation film, which is a fantasy. Real life's not like that. Real life there's no Cleopatra Jones or Coffy.

Ron Stallworth: You don't dig Pam Grier? She's fine as red wine and twice as mellow!

Patrice Dumas: Pam Grier is doing her thing; but, in real life it's just Pigs killing black folks.

Patrice Dumas: You can't change things from the inside. It's a Racist System.

Ron Stallworth: Just give up, like that?

Patrice Dumas: No! We fight for what black people really need: Black Liberation.

Ron Stallworth: Right! Right! Can't you do that from the inside?

Patrice Dumas: No! You can't! The white man won't give up his position in power without a struggle. What did Du Bois say about "Double Consciousness"? "Twoness". Being an American and a Negro? Two warring ideals in one dark body?

Ron Stallworth: That's heavy, Patrice. I feel that. Like I'm two people all the time.

Patrice Dumas: But you shouldn't have to be. We shouldn't have a war going on inside ourselves. Why should just: be black.

Ron Stallworth: I got a serious question for you.

Patrice Dumas: Oh, yeah? What?

Ron Stallworth: Very serious.

Patrice Dumas: Uh-huh?

Ron Stallworth: Shaft or Superfly?

Ron Stallworth: They're just trying to get to you. Intimidate, like you said. Fear tactics. If you don't let 'em scare you, they got nothing. But keep your eyes open. Be Cool. Okay?

Odetta: That's the damn problem. We always too cool!

Hakeem: Way too cool!

David Duke: A lot of people think I hate Negroes; but, I don't. The Organization doesn't either. They just need to be with their own. That's what Pinky would say. Pinky didn't mind Segregation one bit. She just wanted to be with her own kind.

Ron Stallworth: Sounds like she was a Mammy to you.

David Duke: You ever see "Gone with the Wind"? Pinky was my Hattie McDaniel. She won the Oscar for that role: Best Supporting Actress.

Ron Stallworth: You were Scarlett and she was Mammy.

David Duke: That's right. That's funny, when she passed, it was like - ah, it was like we lost a member of the family.

Ron Stallworth: A good nigger is funny like that. In that sense, they're like a good dog. They get real close to you and as soon as you lose em', it just breaks your heart.

David Duke: That's well said, Ron.

Ron Stallworth: I knew a coon once.

Ron Stallworth: You're coming to Colorado Springs, sir?

David Duke: You bet your Mayflower Society ass, I am. You're darn tootin'!

Ron Stallworth: I'm a undercover detective for the Colorado Springs Police. It's my J-O-B. That's the truth.

Patrice Dumas: House Niggas said they had a J-O-B too. You disgust me. My Brotha, you need to wake up!

David Duke: My Brothers in Christ, Nobel Prize recipient, co-creator of the transistor, and my dear, dear friend, Dr. William Shockley, whose groundbreaking scientific work ushered in the Computer Age, has proven through his research with Eugenics that each of us here, has flowing through our veins, the genes of a Superior Race. It's a fact. It's a fact! It can't be disputed. Today, we celebrate that Truth.

Jesse Nayyar: Masks off. Hoods on.

Ron Stallworth: You know, they say, two afros that touch together, it's good luck.

Patrice Dumas: Who said that?

Ron Stallworth: I read it somewhere.

Patrice Dumas: How often do you do that to Black People?

Master Patrolman Andy Landers: Do what?

Patrice Dumas: Pull us over for nothing. Harass us. Put your hands all over a woman in the guise of searching her. Call us everything but a child of God.

Chief Bridges: All good things must come to an end.

Ron Stallworth: What does that mean?

Chief Bridges: Budget cuts.

Flip Zimmerman: Budget cuts?

Jimmy Creek: And when did this happen? Last night?

Chief Bridges: I wish I had a choice; but, my hands are tied with this inflation. Besides, there no longer appears to be any credible threats.
