Quotes 

• [in regards to a white mistress at a black man's funeral] 

  Black man : I saw her come in and I was like 'Who here came down with a case of jungle fever?'

  Mary : Right, like any of these guys...

  Roman DeBeers : Actually, you have it reversed. Her lusting after him, thats jungle fever.

  Black man : I think it applies generally.

  Roman DeBeers : No, technically its white on black.

  Mary : Because black people live in the jungle?

  Roman DeBeers : Not all, obviously. Just no white people do.

  Black man : Well what term would you use to refer to a black person lusting after a white person?

  Roman DeBeers : Temperate deciduous fever? Fjord fever? These are all just facts of semantics, I'm not being racist. I'm post-racial. People are people. If you're cool, you're cool.

  Mary : If you're an ass, you're an ass.

  Roman DeBeers : Exactly.
